I never thought I would have to state that as an opinion. The fact that you disagree is reprehensible, and I think you are a horrible person for trying to come up with some sick justification for why murdering babies due to their lineage is okay. Your bible is twisted, and the closer you come to following it, the more evil you become.
I don't kill babies, try your nearest cockatrice of high order Masons, Jesuits and Satanists.

In the previous post it's gigantic letters against killing babies, and in the very next post you make a joke about it.

Did you know that in the day of Judgement, you will be the judge, and your own mouth will justify or condemn yourself?
God doesn't need to say anything against the people who create their own unbelief, rebellion and confession of evil.

Now you have to come crawling to god for forgiveness, how wretched is someone who for nay time even 45 seconds wants what someone else has or or for a brief time has sexual thoughts about someone they aren't married to.
He should have spoken the AICD (Anti Iron Chariot Device) into existence.
If you love someone, your thoughts will not be desperate and greedy. If committing adultery in your mind is the problem, love will take that absurd need away.
Hating God is self destructive.
The bible basically ignores that single people are the same as married people and have all the same desires and impulses. Either that or it assumes that everybody is capable of being married at the age of 12. Plenty of people, especially mentally or physically disabled people find it difficult to marry at all.
It even says married people should have sex often so that they aren't tempted to be unfaithful. That tells me the author knows what it's like. Yet even though he knows that,
he expects single people to behave the opposite of what people are like in reality!
It's part of why I quit Christianity. People shouldn't feel guilty about that stuff particularly when their situation gives them no other option.
