“You’ve got to remember, God isn’t just loving. He is also holy, just and righteous.” This solemn pronouncement was recently made to me in support of God’s supposed ordering of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the Old Testament.  “But what do you think is holy, just or righteous about killing women and children?” I protested. “It doesn’t matter what I think,” came the confident reply, “my job is just to believe it.”
