Morality is a purely human concept.
God is sovereign so morality is not relevant.
I know it sounds lame but God doesn't have to explain anything to us humans. There are stories in the Bible where God instructs a leader to kill *all* traces of another people or village. If the leaders did not follow his command, He punished those leaders as well for not following His will.
That would not be moral by any human standard. But that's the point; God is not human but He is sovereign. Putting morality and God together just doesn't work in any explination that would satisfy any logical human. So don't bother trying; it's a stupid arguement. God doesn't have to explain *anything* to us yet we will have to explain *everything* to Him.
We *will* have to explain to Him our reasonings and our belief (or lack of) that we post here on this forum whether you choose to believe that now or not. I know what I want to be able to say....

The only one I remember is the Isrealite invasion of the promised land - And that was explained as due to wickedness.
I don't know about you, but I can easily envision a society so corrupt the only alternative is destruction.
Anyway, this thread was originally about violence against women. Let's shift back, shall we?
