“Respected Theologian Defends Infanticide.”
Why did this story not make headline
s?
In a recent post on his Reasonable Faith site, famed Christian apologist and debater William Lane Craig published an explanation for why the genocide
and infanticide ordered by God against the Canaanites in the Old Testament was morally defensible.
For God, at any rate — and for people following God’s orders. Short version: When guilty people got killed, they deserved it because they were guilty and bad… and when innocent people got killed, even when innocent babies were
killed, they went to Heaven, and it was all hunky dory in the end.
You have to wonder about more and
more of these evangelical Christians.
Just what God are they defending
