OK then Yadda, all you have to do is agree with me that this passage in the Bible is reprehensible and inexcusable.
Deuteronomy 7
Quote: 7 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you— 2 and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally.[a] Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. 3 Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, 4 for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods, and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you. 5 This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire. 6 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
Back to you
No can do.

Genesis 6:5
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
........
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
So, .....what did God do, when he saw all of that;
"every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" ?iStratos,
And why did God hate the; Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites,
.......do you think ???
And, again;
I am a supporter of capital punishment.And in any case, God is a lot smarter than me.
He knows, what he is doing.
I think the term commonly used today, goes;
