As I read stories like this I understand the old violent stories in the Old Testament more and more.

When I first read them, as a child, I couldn’t understand why God could command the Israelites to wipe out whole cultures. But now I look at the invasion of barbaristic actions we suffer now with our compassionate ways, and I start to have some understanding of just how good cultures can be totally destroyed and corrupted because they were too “compassionate” - or selfish.

I guess I’m just too Politically incorrect to even be talking about good and bad cultures.

Not only entire cultures, but all of their beasts as well.

Makes you wonder what the beasts did - or what was done to them.
