[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jubilee McGann: [QB] First of Two: Okay, you're right. Now that I recall more clearly, there were a few times when God did do that. Was it Ethical? I sure as hell don't know. I don't think anyone does. I'm sure that the people thought it was at the time. I mean, it makes perfect sense in their shoes: "God tells us that city of people are evil and insidious and must be killed so that they are punished for their sins and don't do more evil things." This is just the same as an argument for the Death Penalty. Do we kill the person because they're evil and should get the ultimate punishment for their crime, and so they don't do it again? ..... OR should we not, because every life is precious and killing them doesn't teach the right lesson? At the time, "God" gave them what seemed like a good reason. Now... If you can think of no reason on this entire planet when someone or something should be killed, you will not understand this: Simply because you think nothing should be killed at all. BUT, if you understand that sometimes people find a good reason to do something, <u>Wether or not that reason seems to be good to other people</u>, you will understand why these things happen. Right? Wrong? .... IT DOESN'T MATTER. That only starts MORE wars. Evil and Good, as I said before, are all Relative. I may find it a very good thing to kill off a mosquito because it bit me. Someone who collects mosquitoes is going to tell me i'm wrong because they cherish the life of a mosquito. *shrugs*.... different people, different cultures, different times... different ethics. Omega: Okay, I worded that wrong. It's not equal power, per se. It's two entirely different TYPES of power, but Satans is a bit more deadly, where God's is not quite the same way. But you have to admit, if Satan had no power, there would be no reason to worry about Evil at all. [/QB][/QUOTE]
