Quoting: "Numbers 31:13-18
13 Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp.
14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle.
15 "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them.
16 "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the LORD's people.
17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man,
18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
Reply: Hmm, and some say the 10 Commandments are the basis of all morality!
This was after the Commandments were given to Moses, isn't it? It is not a happy scene for unborns, newborns, and toddlers who need a mother. Nor for young girls given over to God-sanctioned rape. "Kill all the boys"--even those at 2, 4, 6 years of age? What a monsterous dictate.
One wonders where anti-evo, pro-Noah's Flood posters will come down on this. Predicably, when caught in hypocrisy they ignore.
I don't deny that following the 10 Commandments will make one a better person. A lot of the Bible does serve a good basis for a moral code to live by, I believe (we shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater). Yes, there are attrocities and absurdities, but also a great deal of wisdom within its pages.
I just think one has to remember that the Bible also contains a bloodier dark side and one should use their God-given brains in discerning the context in which these things were written before using them as either a checklist of facts or an example of how to lead his/her life.
