What difference does it make to you? God doesn't have to run his plans through you somehow. They brag if he wants them to brag, if he wants people to believe he condones it, he'll do it one way, if he doesn't he'll do it a different way. Why are you so arrogant as to think it has to make sense to you in order to be one way vs another?

Sorry, missed the message. Maybe i can remember enough to rewrite
Why would they need a prophet to tell them? And if they did, how do you know they don't have them? Do you think good needs to make a prophecy evident to you specifically for some reason?
How do you know what he wants any better than the people he actually tells to do things? He may be getting exactly as many deaths as he wants, or not enough, or to many... Why do you think you, out of all people, would be the one who knows God's mind?
Yes, i would edit, thanks
Fair. I don't know how to edit, but I'll accept the reason for taking it down. Honestly didn't mean it as a slur, but i agree that there is no real way to distinguish.
'Murder' doesn't mean 'kill'. Self defense isn't murder, accidentally causing sometimes death isn't murder, obeying God's will isn't murder. If God determines morality, there is nothing that can't be made moral by defining it as his will.
Genocide isn't a sin you have to repent for, it's more along the lines of God's will than a sin. Heck, God specifically directed people to do it multiple times in the old testament.
Now if they condoned mass 'wearing of garments sewn from two dissimilar fabrics'....that's where they need someone to die to atone for their sins.
Scam?
What a perfect example of someone 'not' trying to cheat the system being held to a ridiculously higher bar than those who are so used to cheating that they do it in their sleep.
Basically, cheat at everything and when you get called out on it, do something worse so the 'evidence' and questions immediately become trivial because there's something far worse to address. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Don't worry, if you think there is a limit where 'how can i do something worse and still get away with it?'... Apparently there isn't.
Completely fair, regardless of how i might or might not intend it, it's use has been made too sensitive to use in a derogatory way at all. If the mod can repost without it, or send me the comment I'd prefer to repost without it, just can't remember the rest.
