wanted the Medianites slaughtered and sent to HELL because they were "SINFUL" people!) The Midianites couldn't have possibly been a political "enemy" of Israel because in this story Israel didn't exist as a nation yet. They were slaves born in Egypt. The Bible God is ordering Moses to TREAT THE MIDIANITES AS ENEMIES AND TO KILL THEM. God says ALL OF THEM! Zipporah, Moses' first long term loving wife was a Midianite! No Preacher today wishes to talk about the Bible story of millions of "UNGODLY" Midianites SLAUGHTERED in a way that not even Hitler would do it! Numbers 31:17-18 (NIV) Now kill all the boys* (*today some Christians are very upset at their Clergy and Preachers for FONDLING KIDS, but this verse here is GOD ORDERING the outright genocide of Midianite CHILDREN! Moses' children were Midianite citizens!). And kill every WOMAN* (*including Moses' mother in law and any other female relative. THE BIBLE GOD ORDERS NOT TO SHOW ANY MERCY TO PREGNANT WOMEN! It is amazing the BIGOTRY OF FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANITY taking a senseless anti-abortion stand to WORSHIP THIS SADISTIC CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN KILLING GOD... JUST TO HURT WOMEN IN REAL NEED OF AN ABORTION!) who has slept with a man* (*i.e. ANY PREGNANT WOMAN! ...except the Blessed Virgin Mary! God the Holy Ghost got her pregnant and that is OK! Still all pregnant women and any Midianite girl who "slept with a man" even with their own husband MUST DIE! "PRAISE THE LORD!" -- says PTL! Fetuses
