Terrorism in Bible - Joshua

Joshua:

6.17 – All the inhabitants of Jericho are to be killed except a harlot named Rahab.

6.21 – The Israelites killed everyone in Jericho – men and women, old and young. Even animals like ox, sheep and ass were not spared.

6.26 – God proclaims that anyone who tries to rebuild Jericho will be accursed and will be made to lose his firstborn child and the youngest son.

7.24-25 – A person named Achan did not follow a rule. Hence, he and his entire family (sons and daughters) and his animals (oxen and sheep) were stoned to death. (Whatever did those animals do to suffer such a horrible death? Why were his children killed? If it is because they took part in his mistake (Bible does not say anything about their involvement), should they not be given some less severe punishment because they were mislead by their father? The whole episode looks like it was meant to terrorise people into following the Biblical rules)

8.8 – God commands that when they have taken the city of Ai, they shall burn it. (It seems Jehovah is very fond of burning cities and killing people, including innocent children)

8.22-26 – Israelites kill every inhabitant of Ai numbering 12000.

10.10-11 – God kills the Amorites, chases them and brings down hailstorm killing the whole lot of them.

10.12-13 – God orders the sun to stay still for a whole day and thereby helps the Israelites in killing the Amorites.

10.28 – Joshua destroys the city of Makkedah and kills every single soul of the town.

10.30 – Joshua destroys the city of Libnah as he did to Makkedah.

10.32 – Now he destroys the city of Lachish.

10.35 – The city of Eglon is destroyed now.

10.37 – The city of Hebron is destroyed.

10.39 – The city of Debir is destroyed.

10.40 – Joshua destroyed all the countries of the hills, the countries of the south, of vale, of springs and killed everything that breathed in those places as per God’s command.
