I think it highlights how irrelevant God is when it comes to defining moral behavior.
The religious might justify the act by saying that "God has a higher purpose" and we may not understand why he chose to kill in this case, and therefore; his desire was fulfilled.
Your point only makes any sense if one assumes that God did in fact issue the instruction.
You do not believe God exists, therefore he could not have. So your post would be based, in your own eyes, on a false premise.
I do not believe that God would have issued an instruction to commit murder, as it is against his commandments.
The woman was lying or delusional. Either way, God did not tell her to commit infanticide. [/b][/quote]
I have always allowed the possibilty of a God, I just reject those version created by man to appease his fear of the unknown.
Maybe her God is not your God.
How do you know which is the correct one?
Oh, that's right, you chose your God arbitrarily.
