OK you admit there is no logical one, and you describe an emotional pathway. Now for the follow up question. Was it logical and/or objectively moral for the jews to slaughter the amalukites when ordered to do so by god? |
I admited there was no logical pathway in the defintion of atheismm, which is true for religion as well. But you can find a pathway for killing from almost any belief or ideology, it doesnt mean that the ideology supports the killing.
To answer your question (which has nothing to do with the topic, but I'll bite just this once), yes it was logical seeing as how the Old Testament (the orthodox jeish part) promotes eye for an eye, tooth for tooth. Amaleks attacked, killed, pillaged and persecuted Jews millions times before, and were given the second chance multiple times, and they did not repent. So i'd say that story promotes Wrath of God and equal punishment, rather than just mindless slaughter of unbelievers (which I assume was what you were getting at?)
