you missed a great genocide passage
so I read the entry on genocide in the bible. I think there’s one particularly hilarious passage in the bible that wasn’t mentioned. I think it’s the best one: “In the cities of these people, that the Lord thy God doth giveth as thy inheritance, thall shalt save alive nothing that breatheth, but thall shalt utterly destroy them – namely the Hittites and the Jebusites, the Hivites and the Perezzites, the Amorites and the Canaanites, as the Lord thy God has commanded thee. That they not teach any such abominable sacrafices as they commit against their gods, and you thus sin against the Lord, thy God.” Deuteronomy 20:16-18.
I’ve pointed this passage out to many people. The best justification I’ve heard is that these “abominable sacrafices” refers to infanticide. So in other words, six different nationalities were all ACCUSED of practicing infanticide – I think these days that would be considered a stereotype – and God’s remedy was to kill every last member of all six groups.
