When the Lord committed infanticide

[Rokcet Scientist]

Well, He did destroy part of His own Creation without any qualms, didn't He?

Good topic, Rocket! And nice picture....Ahh, the poor Dinosaurs...

Infanticide is a very touchy topic for most Christians, as they soley avoid reading these parts of the Bible,and those who do do not acknowledge these parts for what they are, coming back with retorts such as 'You did not understand the Bible' and such. However, it can not be avioded by those who read the Bible, and here are some examples of when Infaticide pop up within the Bible:
"The people of Samaria must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God. They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, their pregnant women ripped open by swords." (Hosea 13:16 NLT)

Luke 19:27 Jesus said, "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."

Genesis 6:7 "And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them."

Exodus 10:20 "But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go."

Numbers 31:17-18 "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."

Ezekiel 9:6 "Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women . . . "

Isaiah 13:16 "Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished."

Deuteronomy 13:15 "Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly . . . "

Leviticus 20:9 "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death . . . "

Exodus 32:27 ". . . Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour."

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."

Do you have any qualms destroying most of the things you make with legos? I sure don't. Only the really cool ones would I ever consider not destroying immediately... but I know that eventually I will break it

Hardest I have laughed all day Meh, I usually kept my Lego in one peice. I still have my Lego Death Star.

On a more serious note however, Lego does not have any memories or feelings, unless you believe in homepoathy (Im not sure how it is spelt, but this is when people believe that objects have living memories), which I am not entirly sure relates to Lego. This is live children we are talking about. How does anyone worship a book that enforces the killing of infants because a divine voice tells them too? Or they are the children of a person who did not do right by God?
Its just wrong.

"But he loves you" the xtians will say....

After all, he is going to send 2/3 of the world's population into the fiery blaze of hell for eternity. How does infanticide compare to this?

But if we are supposing such a creator... then feelings are a creation like any other. Antares is bigger than any other star I know of, but it is a creation like any other. I am the most beautiful woman in existence, yet I am a creation like any other. Tigers have stripes and little else does... but they too are creations: like any other.

All of my lego people walking along my starships had lives... but they were creations (not unlike another).

'Just wrong' doesn't apply to me, as most people here would tell you.

Only 2/3 and he's killing off all the babies for us? This guy is a saint. I'd reelect him

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Promises, promises.

Oh, it's a ratings game...?
100 million creatures destroyed is not as bad as 7 trillion?
Pfff! Glad you told me.
So He's really a decent guy?

So I take it the atheists would have left the children to die slowly of hunger on the battlefield without mothers or fathers, rather than take them to heaven, where all children go when they die.

Apply logic, and you see those are the two choices God had.

I'm afraid most atheists don't think as hard as they claim to.

If I was god I would order my worshipers to take care of them not kill them.
