Did God Promote Murder?

I've been reading the whiner blogs. You know, the ones where people with no lives and no one to blame go to to complain about the idea of God and the Bible? There are varieties of peoples in the "Old Testament" that God ordered to be killed. The question is why were they to be killed. It's very simple, liberal minded non-thinkers. It is the same reason as God told the Hebrews to take the land slowly - else the wild animals would kill them. You see, wild animals are competition and many of them see you, humans, as food and competition. It's like the joke about the liberal and his family being accosted by an evil man. Should I try to understand his malfunction and reason with him, or should I kill him before he kills me and rapes my wife and who knows what to the kids? The answer for those who don't get it is to kill him before he kills. I guess you don't listen to the news or you would be quite familiar with a man who did this very thing. Do you think he could have been reasoned with? In many cases, in the primitive world of the "Old Testament," societies were like packs of wild dogs. Many cultures just wanted wealth and slaves to do their work and would do anything to get that. Other cultures refused to be civil at all to the Hebrews. Many cases weren't explained. The so-called enlightened people of our time have no concept of what life and societies were like in those times, yet they are quite ready to judge. I'm sure God would have done a lot of things differently had He had a more advanced world to deal with but, then again, our enlightened world isn't doing all that well, now, is it? And since we're so enlightened, we don't even care to notice Him other than to complain. Get lives, whiners. Find beneficial interests. You're wasting the lives God gave you. That's real gratitude.
