Christians Who Rationalize God’s Biblical Atrocities Can Justify Anything
By Hemant Mehta, February 20, 2019

God kills a lot of babies in the Bible. Lots of them. For no good reason at all.

So how do Christian apologists explain it? Simple. They make up their own justifications for why God might have done it. But that in itself is problematic, because if they can use God to justify those atrocities, what else do they think they can get away with?

In the video from DarkMatter2525, he shows how accepting God as an excuse just opens the door to a place we don’t want to go.


Have I've seen this defense presented before, somewhere?
