This thread evidences that children who can't tell fact from fiction grow up unable to determine fact from fiction. I mean these replies are really inept.

"bible says x, therefore x" is essentially the entirety of the comment. There isn't even an attempt to justify the point. It's a baseless assertion and when it is confronted, the person ignores their fallacious arguments. (looking at you padib). Listen here folks, the bible is not evidence, the bible is THE CLAIM.

Moderated,

Its true, i grew up in a christian home and im all screwed up in the head.

It`s implicit in their behaviour. Why do you think they kept on trying to battle Israel, who did nothing to them? It wasn`t for goodness of their hearts.
The transgression started in their hearts. The attacks are just a consequence of what they felt.
Their intentions were more than clear.

The other problem with Divine Command theory as being intrinsically good, is that you (the person who believes in said theory..not specifically you Soriku) then have absolutely no place to speak out against another religions actions that you perceive as evil/barbaric.  They believe they're being commanded by their God, just as you, and under the admitted beliefs iterated above, it would be equally as good as the Biblical God, ordering the genocide of the Amalekites.  Scary thought.

Not really shocking. If I told a child Harry Potter was real all his life -_- i am sure he/she would not know fictio from non-fiction. Same principle.

A being created the universe.

Everything was created by an atom that appeared out of nowhere exploding and created the universe.

Which is fact and which is fiction? I'll let you decide which sounds more fictional.

What lies? 

I have heard many theories about many things. What part of my status makes you feel the need to say people are telling me porky pies?

I think people go to far about whats real and what is not. 

I dont know where the world comes from nor do i pretend to know. Anyone who trys to tell me  about our origions, I always think well he/she is most likely wrong. But when you are telling me where the world comes from at least have some good reasoning behind it so I can say meh to them without thinking well, dem gone crazy. 

Also myreply to this thread was very relevant our kid. 

(keyboard is playing up. Soz. The keys aint registring properly.

I find it perplexing and disturbing that you consider the above to be good reasons for systematic wholesale murder.

No, they weren`t just a tribe who decided to invade.

You asked me before if your quote was one of those taken out context. It was one of those taken from within a bigger story.

This is where it started:

Deut 25:17-19:

“Remember what Amalek did to you, on the way when you were leaving Egypt, that he happened upon you on the way, and he struck those of you who were hindmost, all the weaklings at your rear, when you were faint and exhausted, and he did not fear God. It shall be that when the Lord, your God, gives you rest from all your enemies all around, in the Land that the Lord, your God, gives you as an inheritance to possess it, you shall wipe out the memory of Amalek from under heaven – you shall not forget!

Then they just kept coming and coming the exterminate the jewish people. And God kept on forgiving.
And with Saul`s failure, they kept attacking during Kind David`s reign - where 400 amalekites escaped - and once again through descendants, the same people almost caused the destruction of Israel (book of Esther).

They wanted extermination, and that`s exactly what they got.

In the end, it`s no different from people who don`t forgive, to no get forgiveness. You get what you serve.Also, there were cases in the Bible, like the woman in Jericho, Lot and another elimination that actually spared children and woman (i think).

God already knew and even forerold by prophecy that Amalek and his people would perish. If He didn`t spare some of his people, it was actually an act of mercy to save the souls of the purest ones, souls that would have been become impure with time.
