www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%206&version=KJV Murder and theft. Take time to read the story of murder and theft. Below is a discussion of the Canaanite religion and cult prostitutes in service of that religion. history-world.org/canaanite_culture_and_religion.htmI suspect that 'Rahab the harlot' was one of these people serving her God. I've thought of this quite a bit of late. From the age of 5 on up I was taught, in church, that this kind of behavior was acceptable. In retrospect it seems a horrible thing to teach a child these events and let him go away thinking such activity is acceptable behavior. Now with current events the way they are I can see that such activity is fundamentally wrong, but, also, fundamentally in harmony with the Christian faith. As a child and all the way to adulthood Christianity taught me that in this instance, and many many other cases like it, that it was okay and approved by Jehovah. Jehovah has ordered acts of genocide in order to see that his favorites get hold of possessions. William Calley did not develop the 'lets do the whole village' concept, the Christian God is the greatest champion of this concept. Calley simply got caught in the sights of a righteous, correctly functioning media. These kinds of behavior are now able to be understood as a paleolithic form of neo-conservatism.
