How Can Killing Innocent People Ever Be Justified In The Name Of ‘Holy War’?

Many times have I indulged in debates and discussions on whether or not God shall have a different judgement for non-Christians when that day (Judgement Day) comes. Of greater concern to me is how man has misinterpreted the core of religion. Sometimes what seems complicated has the simplest answer.

I am Christian by faith and the living words of God did not teach me to condemn other religions. When man cannot even love his own kind, heaven is a far distant subject. If my propagation spreads enmity among people, let me not propagate for man living in peace is better than uninformed doctrines. Religions are sensitive stuff and when misinterpreted, it can lead to staunch fanaticism and radicalisation of beliefs.

In essence: 'What is wrong with these people who think they've interpreted their religion correctly? Obviously *I* am the one who has interpreted every religion correctly.'

And to answer the question posted in the article's headline, I would suggest the author read 1 Samuel 15. "This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroya all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’ "

Gee, no idea where people might get the idea it's OK to slaughter innocents because they think their god wants it.
