Yahweh commands you to murder the little pagan children

Biblical commands for the Jews to slaughter those who rebelled against Yahweh.





Hosea 13:16 (KJ21) | In Context

16 Samaria shall become desolate, for she hath rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword, their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

Psalm 137:9 (KJV) | In Context |

9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.






In the Book of Hosea, the people of Samaria are to be slaughtered by the Hebrews for rebelling against Yahweh, their infants shall be dashed to pieces and the pregnant woman are to be destroyed.  Yahweh must not be against abortion if he allows genocidal incidents like this to happen.  The Bible does not mention abortion.  Many Christian apologists say that Yahweh can do whatever he wants since he makes the rules, that is an argument from authority. Arguments from authority are not very persuasive.  That is how dictators like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin come into power.  Obeying arguments from authority is never a wise thing to do. Authority, even religious authority should be questioned.  In the Book of Psalms, it is written that the person who takes and dashes pagan children against the stones should be happy about it. Happy about murdering children, just because they come from a culture that another culture deems as evil because they engage in practices (some of which are harmless) that your religion looks down upon? That doesn't seem like good moral advice.
