Pat Robertson tries, and fails, to "justify" Biblical tribal warfare and genocide.
That is what it was.
Tribal warfare and slaughter, combined with "They don't worship *OUR* God!"
Pat Robertson Explains Divine Genocide
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 2/3/2014 12:40 pm
Genocide is okay if its purpose is to stop man-animal sex, Pat Robertson explained today on the 700 Club. When a viewer asked the televangelist about Old Testament accounts “where God told his people to wipe out cities and take their lands,” noting that it “sounds like Islam to me,” Robertson responded that God was actually showing mercy on the annihilated peoples because otherwise they would pass their sinful ways onto their children and grandchildren.
"Assuming you have a culture that has 1,000 really bad people in it — they’re murderers, they’re thieves, they’re rapists, they’re having incest, you name it they are doing everything horrible — now if they have children, what’s going to happen? Instead of having 1,000, you’ll have 3,000 or 4,000; then — nothing has changed them — then they’ll pass it on to the next generation and the next thing you know you’ve got 10,000 or 20,000 of them and if it keeps on going you’re going to have a million of them. So what’s the most merciful thing for a loving God to do? It’s to take the thousand and get rid of them. And that’s what He did."

And those views on genocide, ("Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out,"
have made it into much of our foreign polices, especially when Bush and Cheney were in charge.
Just look at how right-wing pundits and advocates are pushing to have Islam outlawed, even to the level of Ann "Kill all their leaders and convert them to Christianity" Coulter.
