A big "Fuck You!" from the Keyhole nebula

It all pretty much boils down to the just world fallacy and how anything that happens is the will of God.

Pyramid Scheme posted:

If God tells you to kill your son, you should do it

It's only divinely inspired if you stop at the last minute. If you go through with it then you're just a murderer.

At least that was my defense when they caught me fake sacrificing kids at Sunday school. Did you know people can get quite upset when your argument is that Abraham did it first?

However, to allege that the God of the Bible is some sort of “monster” for ordering Israel to destroy the inhabitants of Canaan exhibits an ignorance of biblical teaching. Those inhabitants were destroyed because of their wickedness (Deuteronomy 9:4; 18:9-14). They were so evil that their Creator no longer could abide their corruption. That they had numerous opportunities to repent is evident from the prophetic books (Nineveh did repent, for example, and for a time stayed the day of destruction).

Complaining about Jehovah’s order to destroy innocent children is a vain gesture when one realizes that the children were spared an even worse fate of being reared as slaves under the domination of sin. Instead of having to endure the scourge of a life of immorality and wickedness, these innocents were ushered early into the bliss of Paradise. If the male children had been allowed to mature, they most likely would have followed the pagan ways of their forefathers, and eventually would have taken vengeance on the Israelites. Killing the males not only prevented them from falling into the same abominable sins as their parents, but also kept Israel from having to battle them later.

Insha'Allah
