The God of the Bible: Forcing out the Genocidal, Infanticidal, and Filicidal
We come to the other charges of an evolutionary biologist against the God of the Bible that He is genocidal, infanticidal, and filicidal.
These shocking definitions come from Richard Dawkins who, until lately, is known as the most famous atheist. In recent debates with some clergy, Dawkins has described himself as an agnostic and “cannot disprove the existence of God,” prompting the religious to call on atheists to look for another leader. Dawkins, after all, is not a militant secularist although he would like the world to believe he is one. For all his mudslinging at the God of the Bible, he admittedly “cannot disprove the existence of God.”
Nevertheless, in coming up with a book where has earned a fortune and still is, Dawkins called God, among other descriptions, “genocidal, infanticidal, and filicidal.”
Genocide is defined in the dictionary as murder of an entire ethnic group: the systematic killing of all the people from a national, ethnic, or religious group, or an attempt to do this.
Infanticide is defined as the act of killing infants or a newborn baby.
And filicide means killing of one’s own child.
The -al variations, of course, are adjectives. If God were genocidal, infanticidal, filicidal, that means he is capable of doing all these, has done them, is doing them, or tends to do them – along the terms that Dawkins understands.
But all these charges of Dawkins against the God of the Bible redounds to him bull's eye! In writing for Daily Mail of UK (www.dailymail.co.uk), George Pitcher on December 16, 2011, exposed the mind of Dawkins who asked another atheist, Christopher Hitchens, 'Do you ever worry that if we win and, so to speak, destroy Christianity, that vacuum would be filled by Islam?'
Titled “Professor Richard Dawkins makes a festive vow to 'destroy Christianity,'” Pitcher wrote -
Hitchens is thoughtful about CS Lewis and Christianity and rather leaves Prof. Dawkins floundering in his wake, occasionally interjecting little assents to show that he's still there, as he struggles to keep up.
But one of these interjections is most revealing. About half-way through, the Prof gets this in edgeways: 'Do you ever worry that if we win and, so to speak, destroy Christianity, that vacuum would be filled by Islam?'
For background, very few of the major atheists have come into the open, declaring that their purpose is to destroy Christianity. Their intent is usually limited to simple criticism, open dialogue. But here comes Dawkins.
In an interview with Christopher Hitchens, Dawkins queries the late atheist whether he has considered a scenario wherein they win and destroy Christianity. Should that happen, would the vacuum be filled by Islam?
Dawkins denied later on that he said this but George Pitcher stands pat on what he wrote. The reporter of Daily Mail said Hitchens was an atheist while he lived but did not have “destroy Christianity” as an agenda.
So, Dawkin’s unfulfilled plan to destroy all Christianity is definitely genocidal! If the God of the Bible were genocidal, no atheist would be alive today!
As part of the comments on George Pitcher’s article, a reader from United Kingdom said the speech of Dawkins should be monitored closely. Imagine having a dream of destroying Christianity, calling religion as virus, and impressing that teaching children about God is child abuse.
This kind of speech should be monitored closely. To "destroy" people, to label religious views as a "virus" and to bring children up in Christianity as "child abuse" are all things he has said. This kind of talk would not be out of place in Nazi Germany. We have to be very careful.
King David, after experiencing cruelty and bitterness from his enemies with whom he had done no wrong, prayed that God may destroy them all.
PSALMS 109:4-5, 13
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
PSALMS 83:17
Let them be confounded and troubled forever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
Although David was a favored man of God, God did not hearken unto him! Why? Because He is not genocidal.
II PETER 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
God ordering the annihilation of the Canaanites was not being genocidal. The order was an execution of judgment against a people or a nation of infanticides and filicides! This is about a race needing to be blotted out because of what they did to their children (child sacrifice, free sex, child prostitution, and the like). Their culture did not merit being preserved.
DEUTERONOMY 12:29-31
29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
How can a God that abhors infanticide, Himself be infanticidal and filicidal? In truth, it is Dawkins who is infanticidal and certainly filicidal when he advised someone in twitter asking a hypothetical question to abort her child!
God would never agree to hurt an unborn fetus! Unlike Dawkins who arrogates to himself some authority as to who should live and who should die, here is what the God of the Bible says -
EXODUS 21:22-24
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
By God's law Richard Dawkins merits death for being genocidal, infanticidal, and filicidal!
Forgetting Richard Dawkins, let us discover from the Bible the gentleness and the loving kindness of the God of the Bible.
God takes care of a baby from conception to adulthood until death.
Before a baby is born, the mammary glands of the mother works in preparing all the necessary ingredients of life and the defenses for the baby's well-being. The breast of a feeding mother is nature-tuned for her to remember that her baby must be fed at the right moment.
An authority on breastfeeding, Kelly Bonyata, wrote on August 31, 2011 (http://kellymom.com) -
During pregnancy and the first few days postpartum, milk supply is hormonally driven – this is called the endocrine control system. Essentially, as long as the proper hormones are in place, mom will start making colostrum about halfway through pregnancy (Lactogenesis I) and her milk will increase in volume (Lactogenesis II) around 30-40 hours after birth.
According to her, earlier researchers observed that milk volume is typically greater in the morning hours and falls gradually as the day progresses. Quoting Hurgoiu (1985), she wrote that fat content tends to increase as the day progresses. These observations are consistent with current research where babies were found to normally have longer sleep at night and gradually decreases the amount of time between nursing as the day progresses.
ISAIAH 49:15
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
God is protecting each growing child by his injunctions to parents to care for their children. He placed those paternal instincts in their consciousness.
I TIMOTHY 5:8 (RSV)
If any one does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
EPHESIANS 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
These laws are not only protective measures but penalties go with those uncaring and disobeying parents!
REVELATION 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
An uncaring parent is worse than an infidel or unbeliever, and infidels are destined to the lake of fire. At the age of puberty, a virgin is placed under the protection of the father.
I CORINTHIANS 7:37 (RSV)
Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
Nevertheless he that standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
How can the God of the Bible that cares for a human being from conception until adulthood be infanticidal, filicidal, and genocidal?
Back to Dawkins, surely, he doesn't deserve to be a professor! He is a MONSTER!!!
Arguably, Dawkins is the most repulsive character around - not in fiction - but in the physical, spiritual, and mental reality!
Nice Article

DeleteI agree that Dawkins is a monster.
ReplyDeleteIt is wrong to think that GOD in the Bible is genocidal, infanticidal and filicidal.
ReplyDeleteThanks be to GOD for another wondeful blog Mr Controversy.

#DawkinsDelusionalChargesVsGod
ReplyDeletedawkins is big real monsterrr!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is not a character of a scientist to charge anything recklessly without any
ReplyDeleteinvestigations. He doesn't deserve even to be called a scientist, scientist are skeptics and open-minded. That's it! They are willing to listen to other's opinion and they base suggestions and conclusions on evidences. When a scientist is in doubt, he questions the veracity of a statement in relation to the evidences presented. That attitude is not present in Mr. Dawkins. He is monster, alright!
Dawkins is a super liar, he is A REAL MONSTER! Your objective is to destroy christianity? You will surely fail. The LOrd JESUS CHRIST is the founder of it, so whatever efforts men will exert to destroy him shall fall in vain.His patience alone can melt you away dawkins. In the end, you will reap what you have sown! That is just very close to happen to you dawkins at your age! I think this a real point of no return for you...wish its not.
ReplyDeleteThank God I have known the real intention of atheists through this blog; but more importantly, the proof of God's love and care to His creations.
ReplyDeleteI hope Dawkins will read this and be enlighten. Thanks be to GOD.

ReplyDeleteTO GOD BE THE GLORY
ReplyDeleteThanks Be to God keeping us well protected to richard dawkins misleading in his life shared about.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that one comment on the article says that Dawkins should be monitored for his desire to eliminate Christianity, while that same sentiment against Atheists is prevalent with Christians. They would like nothing more than for Atheists to go away, be punished, or have laws written against them.
ReplyDeleteHowever, non Atheists should know that Dawkins is not the 'leader'. Many Atheists disagree with his rhetoric about getting rid of religion. Religious people have as much right to practice as others have not to, as long as neither infringe on the rights of the other.
Dawkins is really crazy! Totally unacceptable!
ReplyDeleteThe true color of Dawkins is exposed!
ReplyDeleteThanks be to God for another wonderful blog. To Richard Dawkins , he is really a monster. So shame he called himself a professor but no brain. Talking nonsense and without basis.
ReplyDeleteWhat Monster Dawkins is ? . He is a murderer ! A monster ! .. May God forbid those Filthy Tongue .. TO GOD BE THE GLORY !
ReplyDeleteDawkins is a virus
ReplyDeleteSUPER MONSTER SURELY. That kind of people is not belong to humanity. . TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
ReplyDeleteAll things that Dawkins accused towards God in the Bible best describes him.
ReplyDeletePsalms 5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
ReplyDeleteDawkins is a MONSTER indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteI came to this word "barracuda" as someone who uses aggressive, harsh, and sometimes improper ways to achieve something (Merriam-Webster), makes me think of Dawkins who earned fortune by attaching improper adjective to Christians' God who in the first place he believes not to exist. But I do believe he is more than barracuda, yeah right he is a big monster in land.
ReplyDeleteThe Reality Behind is that Dawkins is the one that is Genocidal, Felicidal, and Infanticidal and Trying to Blame it to the God of the Bible. Thanks to God for He sends Mr. Controversy to Clear the Poison injected by this Monster (Dawkins) to our thinking. To GOD Be The Glory!
ReplyDeletewow! amazing as always, thanks GOD..
ReplyDeleteDawkins is really a monster worst than the devil, for devils believe in God and they are afraid of God, this monster Dawkins wants to destroy Christianity? How can a mere human can do so? We humans are like a very tiny tiny super small and weak being, not even a word can compare us to our God. Thinking of destroying Christianity which the Son of God is the head of it is VERY VERY IMPOSSIBLE to do. Think again. All the glory is to our GOD in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteto God be the Glory.

ReplyDeleteTo say that the God of the Bible describes a genocidal, infanticidal and filicidal is a lie because God is a faithful God and His long-suffering endureth until forever. To believe that belief is a foolish belief. Thanks be to God.

ReplyDeleteDawkins is such a liar! How dare him to contradict the Bible? That kind of people didn't know what they are talking about!
ReplyDeleteKawawa napaglololoko netong dawkins na to.. masyadong nagffeeling matalino.. mangmang na nagsabi sakanyang pusong walang Dios! Pati mga sanggol na walang malay dadamay mo pa sa katarantaduhan mo. Dios na bahala sayo sa araw ng paghuhukom!
ReplyDeleteThis Dawkins is speaking something that he doesn't know! He's leading people to his foolishness!
ReplyDeletePaano nasasabi ni Dawkins yun! tsk. hope ma enlight na sya! even if he is acting like that he does'nt know that God really care much! thanks be to god for I have a chance to read this article!
ReplyDeleteThe Bible is FULL of contradictions if anyone has read is. But the accusations of Genocide, Infanticide, and Filicide were not "invented" by Dawkins. Those crimes are written IN the Bible. How can you pretend they do not?
ReplyDeleteGenocide: Deuteronomy, chapter 7.
1: "When the LORD your God brings you into the land which you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites, the Gir'gashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites, seven nations greater and mightier than yourselves,
2: and when the LORD your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them; then you must utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, and show no mercy to them. ..
....
16: And you shall destroy all the peoples that the LORD your God will give over to you, your eye shall not pity them; neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.
Infanticide
Matthew 2:16-18
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem,...
Filicidal
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him,...Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
:)
There are many more examples...I think it's dangerous to believe in anything if you haven't studied it yourself. :(
Atheist practices euthenesia, infaticidal, morely suicide.your acting like you care for others, but your not, morely a hypocrite.your just lazy and cowards to face responsibility and reality. Atheist has no true intention to help to ease the pain of fellowmen. Your belief system makes people suffer more, making this world a living hell kbecause of a kinds of you).
DeleteMost of you atheist suffer anguish and depression because of you kind of mind setting.
Its unfair you blame God for the iniquity of human wrong doings, that result for the tribulation we face today.
God is "Justice" remember that.
God ordained Israel to punish those nation because of their wrong doings (pls. Read mr. Controversy blog for detail).it is not to condemn them all totaly to hell, its to stop them from getting worst, that there be none of them that can be saved. It is so he can save some of them, so he can have a reason to give clemency to who are not rotten/evil yet especially children. Thats when jesus died, he went to their place and preach, to save some of them. God has the power to give life.
And for children in Israel who are evil , ungrateful and disobedient who already know the law and consequences of their action,are condemed to death, hell. It is also to preserve life, so that others will fear to commit immoral things to their parents. If they dont respect their parents that they see, how can they can respect God that they can't see, wich is the giver of life. Not doing so ,immorality will spread like a disease and Israel will surely perish. But that law is for Israel only, it is not the law true christians practice yesterday and today.
Also herod is an enemy of God, he is an enemy of Christ Jesus.
True christians practice compassion and hollines.
Not all preachers that use bible are of God.
If you want to understand technical aspects of Christianity, ask Bro. ELI Soriano.
The accuser is now guilty of the malfeasance he is pointing fingers to.
ReplyDeleteBelieving there is no God is like playing a game that you know how it will end - there is no way you will win.
Dawkins is an arrogant man ..
ReplyDeleteDawkins is clearly very ignorant of the Bible, letting people do abortions? is very opposite to what the God in the Bible wants! may God have mercy upon him
ReplyDeleteAn atheist would never understand the wisdom behind God's plans.
ReplyDeleteII PETER 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Salamat sa Dios anjan ka Po Mr.Controversy para mag Lantad ng mga kagagohan ni Dawkins .
ReplyDeleteSome people like this Dawkins made it to be a popular man... at the right time and in the right place and he continuous to deceive people taking these suckers with him to be popular also...hehehe
