You might well have a problem with God commanding the thrusting out or destruction of the Canaanites , but keith was clearly using that as an example that the commandment in the Decalogue did not include legitimate warfare deaths. Btw that was for a time and purpose , which would be known to any serious bible student, and is not a permission for the current stae of Israel to commit any (alleged) atrocities against Palestinians. The bible teaches that the Canaanites were so depraved and that God gave them time , that eventually destruction of them was vital , just as cutting off a cancerous growth might be. It is still an ugly business , but for Christians we believe in a God of justice as well as being a God of love. Not nice, but neither is sin and depravity , but I don't expect anti theists to entertain that concept.
