Think of all the nations of people murdered on God's orders so that the Jews could have the "Promised Land"... Not just the men, but the women and children (and for some odd reason, often the cattle as well!) Either it is morally wrong to commit genocide (and God's orders were evil), or it is not wrong to commit genocide (so we should lay off Hitler). If genocide can be right, then there is no morality in the universe and up is down, left is right, and darkness is light...

Genocide is related to human violence and greed...not related to any religion whatsoever...!!!

God has not ordered a genocide in over 3000 years. I dont think that means people have the right to do it now...

Because since Only God Can Create life, Only God Has the Right To Take life.
(Procreation is not the same as the actual Creation inwhich Only God Alone Can Do).

It is good that you ask why. But somehow I think you aren't really after the answer, I think you only want to poke holes in the Religions we follow, and take a jab at God.
These things were done for a reason. But you will have to find that out for yourself.
I hope you do.

Don't be afraid to say the obvious. For many, religion is totally an excuse. "God Says" is a good way to make whatever you say infallible and unimpeachable.
When I meet the person who knows everything God thinks and says, I shall kneel. But don't hold your breath. I don't see that happening any time soon.

The mistake is made by assuming that those who SAY they are "acting as part of god's will" are actually acting as such. You assume that because I say it to be so that it is so.
If god wanted everyone dead, in any given geographic locale, he would unleash a disease or the like. Epidemics are nature's/god's way of cleaning out the gene pool.
Anyone who is "acting" so nasty in god's name is breaking the first and golden rule. "HARM NO ONE"

do you think that a person should have the right to commit suicide if they choose?
its the same thing. all life on earth is g-d's. its his choice when people die, not ours.
