Way of LoveFaith & That Bad Stuff in the BibleWhat kind of God sanctions genocide, the suppression of women, slavery, and all the other bad stuff in the Bible?

Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of injustice,
to undo the thongs of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?

and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover them,
and not to hide yourself from your own kin?
