My bad. Killing babies is good. Deceiving innocent people so that you can punish them is good. Killing people who weren't involved for the transgression of another is good. Rape is good.
What was I thinking? Of course those are good things, because God is good, and in each case he either did them himself or ordered them done. If they're good for God, and God is defined as being Good, then my definition of Good must just be out of whack.
Sorry, my mistake!

If your so confident my logic is wrong, why do you have to resort to rape and killings again - I have not read these things in the OT. I have read it and it does not sound like what you are saying about it is true (read from your perspective). Besides this you missed the message about 'righteousness of persons'. I think killing is wrong - 'Thou shalt not kill' - also if I get angry with my brother or sister I am in danger of the judgement. So why would I agree with sin?
Persons righteousness is filthy rags compared to the only one who is good. Untill you accept this you'll read the bible forever and never understand it how it was meant to be understood.

Correct. God's is to love God, love your neighbour and love your enemy. Whereas you are trying to make out EVENTS of the OT to be 'bad' things God done, but if there's no dark in him (there's that logic again ) how is any persons filthy rag perspective of any meaning when they hold darkness?
Got to go, I may return but I feel like a one man army.
