I had an amazing post ready to go and the guy I was replying to deleted his post before I could post it, and so I come back to this instead and I don't have the energy to be all philosophical and shit.

Was it mine?

You know you could've just used ctrl + c, hit ctrl + v into a new post box, and deleted the "p=" bit of the quote tag, right?
Actually, I think even just deleting the "p=" bit might've worked. I don't remember.

I'm more talking about the fact that the book says he ordered the Israelites to commit several genocides against neighbouring tribes. Thus, vengeance for them.

Agreed. It wouldn't be senseless to kill God so he couldn't order such things anymore.

That's justice.

That kind of people get the lightest punishment. The aborted unborn and young children go to Heaven because nowhere in the Bible is infant damnation found. Those who reject get the heaviest punishment.

Source for degrees of punishment?

Also, out of curiosity, you're a Protestant, correct? Calvinist or Arminian?

You couldn't kill the Christian God.

He is described as being omnipotent and omniscient, this means you can't do jack shit to him. Even if you were omnipotent and omniscient yourself, you still couldn't kill him. The only thing that kill a being like God is God himself, and that may not be possible. That actually sounds like a paradox.
