And that, this is a simpler explnation than the "grand plan" argument which is totally unsatisfying. As for doing research are you talking theological research? I know its sounds closed minded but I do find it is always disappointing spin conducted in a hemitically sealed environment going round in circular argumentation. Equally if I researched the Clash of the Titans would I find that Zeus was all loving despite his ordering Posiden to release the Kracken on the inhabintants of a greek city state?
I'm requesting you look into the information that you cite thoroughly. If you see that God condoned the killing of man, child and beast as was stated recently, for example: a quick research into the actual story shows a very different picture... of a people warring and invoking God in what was direction to be fair.

fr0d0 if actuality he is responsible for the crimes he has committed against mankind and those he supposedly ordered his followers the Hebrews to commit through Joshua and others. If this were a man such as Hitler we would define him as he has been defined as Evil, a murderer, etc. Why should God be any different?
I don't find any evidence that God is what you say.
