[sagar]

“My basic approach on this subject is that there is no legal or moral justification for any military action whose sole purpose is the deliberate (or indiscriminate) destruction of civilians. You can go back through thousands of years of Judaeo-Christian moral principles and find that this has been the case since antiquity.”

Like when God killed non-Israelite first borns? I am guessing you don’t count that as neither civilian casualty nor Judaeo-Christian history.

[Alberta's Child]

There's a very big difference between God doing something and man doing something, isn't there? It's worth noting that God killed the non-Israelite first borns. He didn't instruct the Israelites to do it for Him.
