Verses like Isaiah 13:16 and Psalm 137:9 clearly show that God endorses bashing the heads of children against rocks. Rape, it seems, is also permitted as divine justification for transgression. Does anyone reading this post support senseless killing of babies and raping of women, under any circumstance?

Christians like to argue that God’s ways are not our own and that we simply cannot understand why God does what he does. Yet, if this is true and God endorses what we normally conceive to be blatantly immoral acts, then how are we to know right from wrong? Do you think rape is moral? If not, then how is God endorsing rape suddenly moral?

Christians also like to argue that the Old Testament was written in a time when people were bound by Judaic law. But this explains nothing. Is rape moral if it is a punishment for breaking some law? Is bashing the heads of children against rocks somehow moral as well? How morally bankrupt must a person be to find God’s actions in the Old Testament morally justified?
