So, what you are saying is that God punished them in the same way that the Canaanites were doing to other people? If this is true, then it is truly despicable. There is no way on earth, not even a God (as religions like to point out that he is some sort of gentle figure) who would condone such behaviour. From what I can gather, those who have read the bible in its entirety and thus believe it and think God was right, instead of criticising him for his actions, which are borderline Hitler-esque; they praise him to the heavens. These very same people who love God in spite of what he has done, are the very same people who are the first to condemn the actions of a murderer and ask for a lethal injection or electric chair to do away with the murderous fiend. As I have stated many times before, as far as I'm concerned, God no longer exists since he is dead. I am also certain that he was in fact real, he had flesh, had blood running through his veins, and the only difference between himself and the townspeople was the fact that he may have had an education, which gave him a distinct advantage over those who were unlucky enough to not follow an education.
Is it possible that God was in fact the 'natural father', of Jesus, and once word got out, they worshipped him simply because he was the "son of God." Pretty much like Prince Charles is to the Queen. Going back to the education part, and mind control and manipulation, it is very possible. We don't even have to go far to see this. We can look at how Hamas treats its people by asking them to hide weapons wherever they are. Why? Simply because they are gullible, possibly never had access to any form of education since Islam is strict about women and education as we have seen with the Taliban. Why not another example in North Korea? They play in the recent World Cup, and I bet the leader of North Kim-Jong Un spread the rumour that they won the World Cup, and guess what, almost 100% would believe it as fact simply because of a lack of education, lack of access to resources, and constant brainwashing from generation to generation. Education is the key here to getting rid of religion.
