Yes, killing innocent people is right... ALWAYS....
I believe in God, but i can't forgive him for what is wrong with the world.. If you can, than you are psychotic.. Would you forgive me if i murdered your child? Hell No! But God does it, and it was meant to be?
Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, f-in' ass off! He's a tight-ass! He's a SADIST! He's an absentee landlord! Worship that? NEVER!
He's laughin' His sick, f-in' ass off!
He took a pride in man; man was his finest invention; man was his pet, after the housefly . . . .

Then maybe we should punish God for the sins of man.

God is always right- He is never wrong. When God does something; it is not right because He did it, it is right because it is right. God is perfect in all His ways. It is not good because God chose it, therefore it must be good! God chose it because it is good, God wills it because it is good, it’s not good simply because he wills it or chose it to be. God is not arbitrary or capricious. He knows the greater good because He alone possesses all knowledge. To preserve life is the greater good. So while God is all-powerful he cannot act or think contrary to His perfect eternal unlimited nature, which is the ultimate standard of moral good. As Jesus said - there is none good but God.

Should children be punished for their parents sins and crimes?
God seems to think so.
Yet if you ask almost any parent or person, they would reject such a notion and thus break God’s first commandment by placing their philosophy in this issue above God’s. Most people would not follow what they would see as God’s immoral example. Can good people then not be good Christians if they will not follow God‘s ways in this issue?
Rather a catch 22.
You will know that as you read this O P, 16,000 people starve to death daily. Most of these are children. Do the math and you will see that as many starve yearly as the number of Jews that Hitler massacred.
Every year my friend, this carnage continues.
God nor Man seems to venerate human life to any great extent.
It can be said that man cannot do more about this situation than what he is already doing.
God does not have that excuse.
Some foolish thinkers will point to free will as his excuse but then would have to explain all the other times in scripture where God ignores our free will to live as he kills us.
If he can do so to kill us then surly he can do so to save us.
Just to hurt your mind as you ponder this question.
God seems to overcome evil with evil even as.
Romans 12:21. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
God also punishes children for the deeds of their parents even as,
Ezekiel 18:20. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

If using genocide is good enough for God then it is good justice.
Who are your next heroes? Hitler and Stalin?
Heil.
