Horrible things in the bible

[Chad32]

So children deserved to be slaughtered and virgins deserved to be raped? Try teaching that to your kids.

The receipts of God's wrath did worse things than that. They were in complete rebellion against God. They also killed babies and raped women and men. As for the babies, it's a matter of your perspective. From an eternal perspective, the babies died quickly and are spending an eternity with God in happiness. For you who believe that this is all there is, it seems pretty horrible.

And the babies the Canaanites killed did not go to heaven? It seems like Yahweh is no better than anyone else at the time, because I really don't see anything anyone did back then as worse than what Yahweh did. He was just butthurt that when the other tribes killed babies, they weren't praising his name when they did it.

That's the big issue. They weren't paying attention to him, so he killed them, or had his followers kill them. He didn't go around trying to improve society. He just gave commandments to one group of people, and declared everyone else evil. What were his efforts in trying to help Humanity grow, besides ordering their loyalty and threatening destruction if they didn't worship him?

Before the flood it was stated everything was evil. Exactly how were they so evil, and what did Yahweh try before deciding to destroy everything? The bible doesn't go into that. It only focuses on the fact that people weren't paying enough attention to him, so he kept having temper tantrums.
