Either god is a hypocrite or those who claim in their text that it was god who killed all these children, lied.... You tell me what's more more likely....
Splendour says, "don't be a literalist".
Looking into God's actions and basing one's morality on them is a poor idea imo b/c one is not God etc. (I'm talking about believers.) I think people are supposed to draw morality from the Moseses and Abrahams and Marys, even Jesus, although he is technically God but you know what I mean.
That said, does anybody know of a complicated birth story in the Bible? It should be the best place to draw conclusions from about the Bible's message regarding abortion imo.
