Moses Was A Murderer And A Genocidal Lunatic
Going by the biblical account alone, Moses began his murderous career by killing an Egyptian. Later, as leader, he orders his people to make war for no reason on the Midianites. Once they have been beaten, he orders his men to slaughter the male prisoners and the non-virginal female prisoners. The virginal female prisoners he allows his men to rape. Revered as a hero of the Christian faith, in fact he was a murderer, a lunatic and a disgrace.

Most everybody was. The world was brutal back then. Today is a picnic by comparison.

 Well, does Mon-Fri school count? We watched a video on the Exodus and it showed Moses graphically killing the man to death. Of course, none of these idiots know why Moses killed the Egyptian.

He is human even if people tend to act like hes a saint and good and above normal men. How is it murder? It's only murder when your own people or your allies are killed. You could argue the Americans bombing Iraq is murder but we pass it off as a required task to save world peace. Also lunatic is a opinion. In his mind he is doing the right and good thing in your mind he's crazy. Unless you have some great power over him, CURSE YOU GOVERNMENTS, then your opinion will never affect him.

Point being ? (drum role please) / / / / / / /
Most biblical hero's had malfunctions
and major ones at that. What about David? The God or gods annihilalted, many, and their off springs, these giants of the earth stomped out the rest, how should Moses stand out. Then mindless monkeys traipse around praises "oh free will," Glory glory!!

But God told him to do it, so it was OK. "Kill all those who stand before my chosen people!" What a great God.

I was just watching "The Prince of Egypt"
I like this version of the Exodus story about Moses.... I choose to believe that the events in this movie are factual....

He murdered, yes. But he was probably forgiven. Otherwise, how would he be used to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt?
He, by "God's" demand, sent to slaughter many, but it was for vengeance. Look at the text. Rape? Where does it say that? Why don't you quote?
Why do people like to think that those who suffer are always innocent? It is to make the attackers seem evil and you people don't want to believe that the God of the Bible is just so you can have some reason for rejecting him. You fail even if you can beat me in an argument.

Something I like about the Bible is that it points out flaws in the "heros" in it, such as this one of Moshe's murder. Only one person did not have flaws.
