Christianity professes a message of forgiveness and Universal love. Jesus clearly states he did not come to destroy the old tradition, but to confirm it.
Yet, the Book of Joshua is nothing short of the description of a genocide ordered by the Biblical God. How is this possible? Why is such a God more moral than, say Huitzilipochtili of the Aztec?
Deuteronomy, 7,2: And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them.
Joshua 7,21: And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ***, with the edge of the sword.
