I was refuting the statement "God will always say “Thou shalt not kill.” He clearly commanded the Israelites to wipe out the Amalekites. I'm not condemning the action, just pointing it out.

We cool.

You’d be surprised at the atheists (Richard Dawkins included) that point to the Amalekites when they want to talk about why they couldn’t ever possibly believe in a horrible, indecent God that would order genocide.

Of course, they never read any further than that, and refuse to look at the context of a multigenerational war started by the Amalekites who attacked the rearmost section of the Hebrews’ train. The section that contained the slowest of the groups - the elderly and families with small children.

But we cool, bud, I know where you’re coming from. :)
