Maybe people would stop insulting you if you shut up or got out of the way. Have you considered that yet? Maybe that's your solution.

Do you still think the modern world and the ancient world should have the same rules or have the drugs perhaps worn off?

To which the answer is that it is largely irrelevant what I think. Better to ask: how do people act? Many today still insist on relying upon rules, yes, from the ancient world to guide them in this one and to judge others - through say, the moral precepts of the Bible (which one notes, rather ironically condemns killing). As for God, who we both agreed ordered mass killing, any human rules are plain immaterial. If we accept that He is unchanging, then he presumably feels just the same about ordering genocide as He did back in the day (at least He has promised not to drown the world again!) especially as you have often assured us that God is not to be seen as being anthropomorphic, with such human traits as mercy, or compassion etc. Have fun with the rest of the thread.

Here we can all see your attempts to simplify everything down to your level of understanding. You might remember I mentioned that is a problem of yours before.

It isn't that god changed, it is that the world changed. If there were whole societies of people as evil as some whole societies in the ancient world with father, mother, brother, and sister all murderers and rapists beyond redemption then it might be necessary to drop a big bomb somewhere carefully. Thankfully there are no such whole societies in the modern world, just small groups that are typically separate from most civilians.

Can you please stop? Quit making up rules. You read somewhere the god is unchanging and you think that means even when conditions do change? That's not a rule. You don't make any rules, so please give up trying.
