This is why it's so frustrating when theists are so deluded, they spout things like, "Oh, that's not what it's really all about", or if they do actually have the integrity to admit it, they'll claim they can reform it. There's nothing to reform, it's garbage, it's poison, and it needs to go away forever.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

I'm glad you directly placed something here about it. Most of us have found verses which condone and call for murder/genocide, but placing them here is quite useful.
Thanks!

Not like it's all that hard, there's certainly no shortage of them.

I have drawn many Christians into a revealing debate when it comes to 1 Samuel 15:1-3
[1] Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. [2] This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. [3] Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’ ”
Now, after presenting this I simply ask:
Is it always wrong to kill an infant?
If they say yes, then God was the author of sin as he commanded Saul to kill infants and this destroys the Christian conception of God.
If they say no, then there you have it, despite the spirited opposition to abortion, if God says to kill babies then it's moral when God says so. At that point that basically undermines a lot of Christian (particularly Catholic) talking points about the "dignity of man" and acts considered "intrinsically evil". And on just a visceral level, admitting such a thing (that it is potentially moral to kill infants as Saul did) is just so morally disgusting.

From the Ten Commandments: Thou shall not kill.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Shit that did. Pitifully magnomaniacal yet ineffectual god that issues pompous and yet unenforceable commandments. Add schezophrentic to his Omni-this and Omni-that pretension when evaluating his command of no kill followed by prescriptions of what to kill.

Just curious, were you not aware that these were only to apply to the Hebrews? Anyone not of their tribe was fair game. Not to mention the penalties for breaking rules like picking up sticks on the Sabbath.
