from a spiritual perspective society would be CLEANSED of it's impurities. Why do you think God ordered Joshua to kill all the men, women, and children of the land. It's not because God is bad, but rather ALL deserve to die, and the land which was given to the israelites had to be PURGED of its spiritual impurities.
You want to know why the war in Iraq is dragging, because we're fighting it according to our MODERN-DAY sensibilities about death, instead of wiping the land clean and purging the land just as they did in ancient times. ..

Yes, genocide is a perfect justification for, don´t forget it, fornicating with virgin women?, because they didn´t kill them, they "kept them for themselves", you know, like chattel. The rest, well, since they don´t know what on earth they did, children included, and they could not fuck them, kill them all. We need space.
Hmmm. My world history teacher says that the only way to win a "war" against hit-and-run insurgents is to just kill everyone or fight for a really, really long time. Most people today realize that the first option is used by Klingons and people from the dark ages.
"Why do you think God ordered Joshua to kill all the men, women, and children of the land."First, I don't think God did that or anything else as God is an imaginary being.
Second, even if God was real and did those things, that would only show that your God is a genocidal asshole unworthy of worship, only worthy of scorn and hatred.
Third, it's easy for persons of small character to talk as you do until you are the ones being purged.
Let's see here, isn't there something about "Thou shall not kill", like maybe in the Bible? And didn't God give those commandments to Moses before God ordered Joshua to kill every man, woman, and child in Jerico? Gee, seems like God made himself look pretty bad there, doesn't it?
Good to know you're for killing children, the unborn that are almost certainly there, the Christians that are there, and a lot of people that are just like you.
It's because it's a handy excuse. We didn't really do anything bad , God told us to do it. But society has moved on from such bloodthirsty times, and most people realize that it's barbaric to slaughter everyone. Even if the voices in your head tell you to.
God didn't order the deaths of Joshua's enemies because sky fairies don't exist.

This all sounds fine and dandy (if yo're a sociopath), as long as you are on the winning side. If it was your country that was given to some other ethnic group, and you, your family, relatives and friends were they ones who "ALL deserve to die" and your land had to be PURGED of your spiritual impurities? It wouldn't be as natural then, right?
Confused?
