@Adeptlinguist #1. Instructions were to provide ONE sentence. You can't count to one, apparently. 2. You were told not to argue, just to provide that one sentence. As a Linguist (yet alone an ADEPT linguist), you obviously don't understand basic words, hence, you are not even a linguist. Good bye.

@Massageman Hmm. You seem to share the same problem 🤡

@Adeptlinguist You started it- not I.

A lot of really cool stories...some have great messages and make you think. So as a thought experiment, I'm all for it...unfortunately there are many shitheads that take the fun out of everything.
For more perspective see "The Lamb" by Christopher Moore - light-hearted and silly, but there's a lot in there.
I'm not religious or anything but don't fully ignore it either.

Just do what you know is right

I had a good teacher once who taught me not to look at the adjectives but to focus on the substantives. Nonsense. In what sense? They did need to keep it alive for centuries, you know. There are an awful lot of books written by Ancient Greek Philosophers that went missing during that time. Men. Why is that wrong? Haven't we all had a father in some way or another? There they are. Not total evil in my eyes. I have one sentence for all: tolerate a lot more so long that you yourself don't have to endure

@Adeptlinguist Sorry if you find it inconvenient. I find religion abhorrent and am not afraid to say so at every opportunity.

There are verses in the fairytale that say that it is crap.
Tedious nonsense used to brainwash the extremely gullible.

@Iwillwait 1. The Amalekites (1 Samuel 15)
A direct command for total extermination. God instructs King Saul through the prophet Samuel to punish the Amalekites for their opposition to the Israelites during the Exodus.
The Command: "Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." (1 Samuel 15:3)
2. The Conquest of Jericho (Joshua 6)
During the entry into the Promised Land, the city of Jericho is the first major target.
The Command: The city and everything in it were "devoted to the Lord."
3. The Seven Nations of Canaan (Deuteronomy 7 & 20)
Before the Israelites entered Canaan, the Mosaic Law established specific rules for warfare against the inhabitants of the land (the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites).
The Instruction: "You must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy." (Deuteronomy 7:2)
4. Midianite Women and Children (Numbers 31)
After a war against the Midianites where the Israelite men killed the Midianite kings and soldiers, Moses became angry that the women were spared.
The Command: Moses, speaking on behalf of God’s previous directives regarding the Midianites' role in leading Israel into idolatry, commanded: "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." (Numbers 31:17–18)

@Adeptlinguist There was a time that this was directed as commended by God in the Old Testament, this was not directed soly based on race or ethnicity but the practices of their sins.Many of these people were killing their children sacrificing them to Baal or Molech, sending Jesus to die for our sins in the New Testament opened a door for Salvation for all who believes in Christ Jesus.

@WolfGirlwh0r3 No you are missing out on his blessings. And we are saved by Grace alone, and the efficacy of the Cross. We are not saved by works.
