There's nothing wrong with your religion being the one faith for everyone until you start taking away peoples' rights to decide for their damn selves. I really have a hard time thinking that such a great god is gonna command his followers to annihilate ANY of his other people that he created. He would want them saved.




The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. There's no inconsistency here. Plus, he does want people saved. I don't recall an event in history where people were wiped out by God's hand who weren't given a choice to follow Christianity/Judaism. Whether they were the one's judged by a miraculous happening or an earthly medium doesn't make much difference; they were given a choice, and they picked the wrong one.
