Let's assume god was ok with someone ordering the extermination of an entire group of people. Hitler died by suicide and the last time I checked that was still a no-no.

    The torture, the sex crimes at all levels, reducing humanity to chattel and ash. If there's a god that approves of any of that, I'm staying atheist (in fact, the "problem of justice" is a philosophical argument against god, and that applies very much to the holocaust).

    Don't need to assume, we know for a fact he endorses it.

    Deuteronomy 20.

    16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.

    A separate fun fact, zionists believe Palestinians are the descendants of amalek. I'll leave what that implies as an exercise for the reader.

    According to whom? (Referring to suicide being a no-no. This is not Holocaust denial.)

    I assumed it was explicitly forbidden in the book, but instead it looks like the reasoning is "murder is explicitly forbidden and technically, suicide is murdering yourself"

    Btw those "religious" people like to ignore inconvenient parts of the book
