Your arguments and reasoning sound like those of an atheist.No. Your analogy is horrible. First you make the king who killed somebody who is a traitor which isn't aligned to the OT events in where families of the guilty where ordered to be slaughtered. Second, your analogy forces you to support various tyrants in the past.
Your analogy is so bad that it has actual examples in real life. Look at Adolf Hitler, he was a ruler of Germany.. he made all these laws in Germany that jews must be killed. So i guess, by your logic that means he is not guilty of murder. These are his laws.
Same thing with Nero he made it a crime to believe in Jesus, and this crime would result being fed to lions no matter how old you are. So by your logic he is not guilty of murder.
I can go on and name drop more rulers, whether historical to mythical and the point there is that regardless of them being rulers and that doesn't mean what they did wasn't wrong.
Yes, but they are saying the same form of reason that you are doing. The whole act of evil is justifiable because of the law of their god. Just like you, to them beheading the infidels or flying planes to buildings filled with people isn't wrong because their god commands it. This god of theirs is the ruler, their law maker, and all those things you are arguing in defense of god.
And lets just be theoretical and say that they are actually the religion worshiping the right god... does that mean the terrorist who beheaded an 8 year old and all these mass killings we've seen in current events are now good things? Your logic forces you to say yes.
Yes. As a catholic, we (should) adhere to reason and rationality on certain subjects. These events of the OT are no way good at face value so there has to be much intelligent form of reasoning to explain this. The reasoning i'm seeing here though is appalling because you guys support genocide and the killing of babies and animals all because someone of high authority says so.
