The authors actually didn't see what you see. There is a tradition, a long-standing tradition....of not quite being on board with gods goodness by default. Not that you would have taken the time to consult rabbinical literature or anything...you reckon Teh Jewz got it wrong, after all. "Israel" actually means "to struggle with god". Disagreeing with the big guy is practically a religious duty. I can understand...
Course, it doesn;t stop with the jews either - your brothers in christ might offer you a little correction of the nature of god as it applies to love. Guess that's just another one of those points of "agreement". I can understand you laying claim to whatever it is you see. All fine and dandy. I think you need to get your eyes checked - but ultimately, meh. Imagining that you see what others see, or what the authors saw....when we have those traditions and the comments of those others upon which to lay that claim bare for the fiction that it is - that's just too much. It's not a statement of fact, it's a statement of the faith based narrative that you have manufactured around the subject. To be expected, though...I suppose. The story has never been good enough for yall, always making additions. Never quite content with the god you got, as opposed to the god you wish to have.
Quote:Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.The livestock too, huh? Talk about "love" and "light".

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
