So your inability to answer a straight forward question is down to my apparent delusions. I see............😕

I dont know why you are so eager to land blows, but whatever rocks your world.

No one "likes" genocide.

God's judgement upon the Amalekites and the Canaanites was not "genocide".

Enlighten me then. What would you term it?

Landing blows? I've hardly begun. 🙂

I'm merely calling you out on your,...........how should I term this?........Inconsistencies..........

No. It's called the ability to read in the English language.

It would certainly fit in with your "Five-year-old's View of the Bible".

Do you agree with genocide?

Genocide: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group

the canaanites were a political group who were systematic and deliberately destroyed. It doesn't get more genocidal than this.

I stated that I thought the action fomented by the Amekalites was war and the response was judicial execution, if that appears to you to be a lie, then so be it, far from me to argue with your delusions.

an act of war does not justify genocide.

Maybe that should be the first line in the Book of Zhalanzi?

God's justice? God's wrath? God's judgement?

Take your pick.

None of those words work as a paradigm for humanity. The story is a drastic illustration of the grotesque and arbitrary ~ and morally incoherent ~ notion of "justice" that lies at the very heart of ancient Hebrew mythology and Christian superstition.

Actual genocide, conceptualized and committed by men? Like the Third Reich was guilty of against the Jews? Of course not. That's not what we're talking about here, though.

Genocide is only committed by men.

Whatever. But I don't recall talking to you.
