Why did God create anyone other than his chosen people? Why would he create people that he hated and would ultimately command be destroyed? Being omnipotent and omnipresent, he knew those other people would be an annoyance to him. Perhaps he created them as cannon fodder for his own amusement. Like the child that sets up his green army men only to be shot down with his slingshot, God created the heathens so he could have someone to smite.
“Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." (1 Samuel 15:3)
"And when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them; then you must utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, and show no mercy to them." (Deuteronomy 7:2)"So Joshua smote the whole land; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded." (Joshua 10:40)
“And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.” (Exodus 11:5) I’m sure the child of the maidservant was the mastermind of the whole crime. That dirt poor young child deserved what he got, but what the heck did the beasts have to do with it?
“Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.” (Numbers 31:17-18) Now, what do you suppose Moses is going to do with those virgins? The number is actually thirty-two-thousand virgins (Numbers 31:35). Will the virgins be forced to darn socks, vacuum, cook and clean? What else could an invading army bent on violence and destruction do with thirty-two-thousand virgins?
