Many would agree that killing infants is one of the most immoral actions a person could do. However the "good-book" promotes it in certain circumstances. Here are two examples of Biblical infanticide...
He (God) is going to punish the people of Amalek because their ancestors opposed the Israelites when they were coming from Egypt. Go and attack the Amalekites and completely destroy everything they have. Don't leave a thing; kill all the men, women, children, and babies; the cattle, sheep, camels, and donkeys." -1 Samuel 15:2-3The 'Lord' himself orders infanticide on the Amalekites (among many other horrible acts). The religious moral lesson here is: killing infants is okay, just so long as God is on your side. Christians claim to be 'right-to-lifers' based on morality they get from the Bible — a bit hypocritical, is it not? On to the next example!
Babylon, you will be destroyed. Happy are those who pay you back for what you have done to us-- who take your babies and smash them against a rock. - Psalms 137:8-9The Bible's "people" are described as being "happy" to smash infants against rocks, what is more demented then that? I assume most religious people are not aware of these things that appear in their beloved book. People that get moral inspiration from the bible are either ignorant or insane.
