I don't care if it is god or king ordering killing of children and infants. It is bad either way.
That such order came from God, makes it a lot worse. It make God a baby killer.
It makes God a baby killer. True.

The mere existence of a point of view does not provide moral justification for one's actions. Hathorn, Stalin, Vader, and Columbus all had points of view that are comprehensible, but they were still immoral agents. The same goes for the Christian god as depicted in the Bible.I'm under the impression that you are not open to trying to see things from God's pov in that situation as King and protector of Israel, and are not open to seeing God as creator and judge of His creation.
That is only your personal version of God's pov. You have a huge burden of proof if you want to claim that is the right God, let alone of whether such a God even exists. That a God had to put all of his trust into such a small portion of humanity tells us that that God is rather inept all by itself.I'm under the impression that you are not open to trying to see things from God's pov in that situation as King and protector of Israel, and are not open to seeing God as creator and judge of His creation.
Sorry but I have never heard a court judge to have all babies to be slaughter.I'm under the impression that you are not open to trying to see things from God's pov in that situation as King and protector of Israel, and are not open to seeing God as creator and judge of His creation.

From head of state or political leaders, yes. From dictators and monarchs, yes. From generals and other high ranking officers, yes.
Court judges ordering slaughter of children, no.
Btw, I was open to the Bible for 18-19 years, but for the last 20 years, my views have changed, I have more mature views, views that are no longer hampered by superstition in my younger days.
May Brahma, (the Divine One),Gen 12: 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
Gen 22:17 I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies. 18 And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
It is Christian teaching and New Testament that seem to advocate the division between good and evil, between faith and sin.So now you know that the creator of the earth is the judge of the earth and judges as He sees fit, and everyone will rise from the dead at the end of the age to receive a final judgement and that final judgement will not necessarily coincide with the judgement that God has delivered on a nation or city previous to that.
I have more mature views also these days.
May Brahma, (the Divine One),
Pluck the strings of your inner soul
with His celestial fingers,
And feel His own presence within.
Bless us with a divine voice
That we may tune the harp-strings of our life
To sing songs of Love to you.
-Rig Veda

Is murdering a baby a sin and evil act?
But if god is the judge and decree slaughter of babies as “just” as he did in 1 Samuel 15, then wouldn’t that make god “evil”?
