They say Satan is bad and God of Bible is good.
But God of Bible killed plenty of people.
Satan never killed anyone in whole Bible.
Can Christians explain this.
Satan never killed anyone. God of Bible killed millions.

Satan also never promised to torture anyone eternally. But Christian God promised to torture billions.

He convinced Adam and Eve to eat the fruit that made humanity mortal. So he killed everyone.

Why not?

No.
Remember that Einstein said, "the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."

What?
"Bible Numbers 31:17-18
Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man by sleeping with him. But all the young girls who have not known a man by sleeping with him, keep alive for yourselves."
"The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
3 So Moses said to the people, “Arm some of your men to go to war against the Midianites so that they may carry out the Lord’s vengeance on them. 4 Send into battle a thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel.” 5 So twelve thousand men armed for battle, a thousand from each tribe, were supplied from the clans of Israel. 6 Moses sent them into battle, a thousand from each tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, who took with him articles from the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
7 They fought against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and killed every man. 8 Among their victims were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. 9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder. 10 They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps. 11 They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals, 12 and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
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 enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, 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."
Satan was fine with all of those killings you mention, by the way.
One example of this being true is he insisted God was being too kind. He wanted God to kill a whole family of a man named Job (pronounced jobe) and to wreck his life make him sick, poor and alone. So God did it on Satan's behalf. He tested Job ruthlessly and still Job believed.
I think a lot of Christians deny that part of God and Jews where Moses kills the boys on Gods behalf, I do not.
I prefer a warrior Lord that will annihilate evil when needed, not a God that will let evil thrive and giggle as I scream save me. So, I appreciate Father of the trinity and his fierceness. Others try to pretend only Jesus matters. I do not.

Please ban Adaptable for trying to argue that murder and rape of children is fine according to him because those children are, as he says, evil.

Tbf, he only defended the killings. He said nothing about rape.

@Savant
Tbf, he only defended the killings. He said nothing about rape.
The mentioned verse he supports talks of rape too.
If you are Christian and deny that God commanded Moses to fight that war, you are a liar.
I did not say every child is evil.
However every human except Jesus and Mary actually is gravitated towards evil under genuine Christian doctrine, original sin is proof.
-->
@Savant
It was not rape.
They married and took care of the women as far as I have understood that Bible story.

@LucyStarfire

He doesn't explicitly defend the whole verse, just the killing.
-->
@LucyStarfire
Also he says it wasn't about rape, so he's explicitly not intentionally defending rape.
Was it okay for Moses to kill all male children, kill all non-virgin girls and rape all virgin girls? Hmm...
-->
@Savant
It also is not murder because God-sanctioned execution was not murder or else Moses wouldn't be sainted how he is (orthos and eastern Caths saint him more so) or considered holy.

If this belief is allowed, then I think we also have to allow people with Hitler profile pics or basically anyone defending genocide as long as they claim that God endorses it. Unless you expect every mod to be Christian and make an exception for the Bible.
It was not rape.They married
Because forced marriage isnt rape.

@Savant
Which god endorsed the genocide of his chosen people (Jews), the disabled and more? Name the god. Surely it is not Lord YHWH.

The version of God that Hitler's followers believed in. I'm not saying Hitler's religion wasn't wack, but do you expect every mod to believe that the Yahweh is the one true God? What if some mod believes that the Midianites are God's chosen people?
I think you can see why no Aliens have colonized here on Earth.

Maybe you are confused about my stance on censorship.
I support closing and deleting this thread and warning Lucy to never bring it up again.

Why should Lucy be punished for saying killing children is bad? Even if you think killing children is good in this specific instance, why does opposing it deserve censorship?

@Savant
He shouldnt.
This topic is just bait and trap for disaster.
The topic is dangerous.

@Savant
I am forced to think it is good because it is from God the command came.
The Old Testament is usually seen as inerrant word of God.
