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?) |
Ok. And what about the amalek women and children who were supposedly slaughtered too.
"2 Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey."
And what about those innocent camels and oxes, what did they ever do to deserve getting killed (If they weren't to be eaten) :(
Is this moral because god commanded it? Was it a logcal thing to follow god's command?
I LOVE ICELAND!
