7. By golly, yep, you're right - there is genocide in the Bible.
There's also rape, murder, wife stealing, wife swapping, swindling, theft, and genocide allowed to happen to the Hebrew people when they didn't commit the full amount of genocide on their enemies.

So fucking what?

There's also love, redemption, beautiful poetry, friends saving friends out of love, people sacrificing themselves out love, reconciliation, confession, forgiveness, calls to righteousness, constant prophetic charges to take care of the orphans, the widows, and the poor; admonitions against cheating; blessings and honor and glory, and a whole lot of love.
