Dear Richie 10:

Belly asked the question: "Why do so many need to kill in the name of a God?"

I merely answered in the case of those who believe in the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible commanded indiscriminate slaughter. The following portion from the King James Version illustrates that.

Joshua 6:19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD. 6:20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

Not only humans are killed but even their domestic animals.

The God of the Bible wiped out almost all life on earth in the flood.

Hitler was small potatoes compared to the God of the Bible. However, I believe I answered Belly’s question, at least, for those who follow the Bible.

Hitler and other monsters of history have acted in the image of the God of the Bible. Although Hitler did not succeed in wiping out almost all life on earth as the sadistic monster, God, he did fairly well for a human behaving in a god-like manner. Hitler was a true Christian.

to you all, slaves to religion,

and now we have a Baptist pastor (with a mid USA accent) in the Illawarra region of NSW saying on SKY TV that all Jews will go to Hell because they have not submitted to the views of the Lord Jesus and not embrased his teachings, OH! and all others to (like me). How good is this? He wants all of the world to join the sect for our own salvation.
Is this not the same nonsence sprouted by Islam.

Igronance is bliss but is no excuse in law. Unless that law has been changed also.

We drift from the subject.
Yes me too.
It happens in any thread that mentions God.
The last few posts have great interest for me.
And another view of one Holly book the Bible has been seen.
Re written so many times, even changed too, it is no longer the same.
Bits fall out of use, few preach about the murder of those people.
In fact the best defense of a God, any of the massive number man has, seems to be quoting from the fictional books of that God, and claiming an inner knowledge but not giving evidence to support it.
We have seen science fiction turned into a religion and we will see many more Gods invented before we understand man can walk alone.
