Horrible things in the bible

[Chad32]

Seeing how Yahweh has ordered and committed the killing of children, I doubt that the real reason for killing the Canaanites was because of child sacrifice. Even so, why is killing them all the best thing, instead of just changing society so that most people know killing children is bad? I'm not sure why current Human culture would dictate on what Yahweh thought was right or wrong, unless people were making it up as they went along.

There have been videos about how the bear mauling really was about young children, because the word used is the same word used in other parts of the bible to indicate a young child. I would not want anyone to be mauled to death, especially children, just for calling me names.

Yes, rape is condoned by Yahweh. Unless she's married or betrothed, it's ok to rape someone as long as you have fifty silver handy. Or if you kill all her friends and family first, and drag her back to your place as the spoils of war. The bible is pretty clear on this.

Yahweh said that other Isrealites should be released after seven years, so you should treat them well. People from other tribes, and servants that accepted a wife from you, were property that you were allowed to beat nearly to death. as long as they didn't die within a day or two. Treating someone as property that you can pass down to your children and beat half to death is not treating them as Human beings who are equal to you.
