You forget, I too went to Catholic school, actually listened at Mass. Of course we talked about them. They were favorites among middle school boys. Extraordinary that you missed them. Almost unbelievable.Oh, I promise you, they never talked about Jephthah, or Elijah's bears, or any of the other fun verses in the bible. Maybe my bible should have come with one of these.
Learn from the Psalm. The Hebrews were doing the evil they hated when it came from the Amalekites. The Amalekites were as great an enemy to the Hebrews as the Holocaust. They had been tormented by the Amalekites for years, and the Amalekite warfare was to attack from behind; attack the women and children and elderly instead of engaging the warriors who were in the front.
With the Amalekites, the Hebrews were determined to rid the world of the evil coming from the Amalekites. We have been through this before.
Except what is she doesn't want to be a mother and doesn't want a parasite in her womb?Yet, they are a life, living in their mother's womb.

Atheism is a religion, so I'd say yeah.
But they don't promote hatred, cruelty, and death to those that don't believe as they do.
To some it is.Atheism isn't a religion.
The ones that condemn respect for people of faith do.But they don't promote hatred, cruelty, and death to those that don't believe as they do.
The Israelites did not want Amalekite land. Their goal was Canaan, and they were passing through on their way to Canaan. This tribe appears to have been an offshoot (or rogue tribe) of the Edomites. The Book of Numbers records the promise of the Israelites to the Edomites:The Amalekites were also descendants of Abraham (Through Isaac and Esau) and the only thing they were guilty of was owning the land the Israelites wanted. Hmmm... rationalizing genocide because you want someone else's stuff. Totally endorsed by the Bible. I'm sure that will never set a bad example down the road.
First, she might look up what qualifies as a parasite. A parasite attaches to the body of its host for life, or until its host dies. Something that routinely leaves the hosts body in less than a year is not a parasite.Except what is she doesn't want to be a mother and doesn't want a parasite in her womb?
We refuse to dehumanizing a life. Notice, in one post, you have used the dehumanizing technique twice. It is a human life, Joe. You just went on a rant against genocide and how bad that is, and then turn around and cheer on a world that has killed/destroyed millions of lives. It is as if you see the unborn as Amalekites.The problem with the anti-abortion fanatics is they want to give a glob of tissue more rights than the woman it is inside.
I doubt even your church/school changed Mass readings. I have no idea why a Catholic school wouldn't study the Old Testament, but my earlier statement about you not paying attention in Church, stands.My school, they didn't even let us look at the Old Testament. They did give us all little pocket versions of the New Testament, of course... but those fun stories about genocide, rape, mauling by bears, human sacrifice... they avoided those.
If it was a Catholic school that's doubtful.My school, they didn't even let us look at the Old Testament.
Outside of the Bible, no archaeological evidence has been left behind by this tribe. Even after the genocide, their name continues to crop up in the Bible for hundreds of years. Some suggest the possibility that 'Amalekites' are those who are totally ruthless to the point of evil towards Jews. For example, Jews often refer to Nazis as Amalekites.
Joe, I know you prefer a genocidal God. From the Jewish perspective it appears the Amalekites were a tribe of villains who did not observe any of the ways or treaties regarding travelers that we in play. To Amalekites, travelers were prey and therefore fair game. They played by their own rules.

However, I understand thinking "parasite" in place of "baby" completes the dehumanization process and therefore, in your eyes, excuses getting rid of a human life.

Oh, they taught the old testament, but only the parts that filled in with their philosophy.I doubt even your church/school changed Mass readings. I have no idea why a Catholic school wouldn't study the Old Testament, but my earlier statement about you not paying attention in Church, stands.
Did I say they did? Or did I say the until the host dies? (Obviously of other reasons).Actually, most parasites never kill the host
Oh, the irony.Some people never learn.
This sounds more like a description of our public school system than an indictment of Christianity. Do you dispute that a man named Jesus lived 2,000 years ago and was crucified by the Romans?
P.S. I won't bother to ask you the source of morality other than religion, because you have no answer.
The Code of Hammurabi sometimes demands the removal of the guilty party’s tongue, hands, breasts, eye or ear.You mean like the Egyptian Book of the Dead or the Code of Hammurabi?

The Egyption Book of dead is a collection of funerary spells.
The laws established by Hebrews were heads and shoulders above their contemporaries. And that is according to Huston Smith.
It's not a moral code. It's a collection of funerary spells. Two different things.Have you read either of them? The funerary spells say things like I have not cheated orphans.

Thus proving man innately knows right from wrong and not proving that Judaism was borrowed from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.The Egyptian Book of the Dead is 42 negative confessions... Like, "I have not...".. context in the link.

42 Negative Confessions in the Egyptian Book of the Dead are the foundation e.g. of the 10 Commandments.houseoftruth.education
