The People Vs. Common Sense

Very nicely written piece.

Yes the Bible details acts of evil as a tool such that one can be prepared against it. You'll also notice that God is against such sinning. While Jesus forgives our sin, sin is still a bad thing that we should not do. All of the bad things in the world are attributed to sin. Its hard to understand for many, but,"The wages of sin are death."

If you read and understand the Bible, you'll want to live your life like Jesus. You learn that God watches everything you do and helps you out if you're an honest person who does good. If you know God, you can't help but love him.

There's a distinct difference between murder and killing.

You see, this is two-faced to me. Maybe I'm a simple minded peon? Or maybe I'm more moral than God because I think killing people for their beliefs is wrong. Strange times.

God ordered the Israelites to kill the people in the promosed land because they rejected God and did what was evil. There was no hope of their turning to doing what was right, and God knew that the only outcome of leaving them alive would be to draw many of the Israelites away from God.

Well, I never heard of any 'did evil' bit, only that they didn't worship God. Seems a little unfair to me, but hey, He's your God, if you think it's OK for him to order you to kill other people, that's cool too. Well, actually, it isn't, but at least you're (prolly) a long way away from me.
