Adding some sources, in case people think these quotes are satirical.

Edits: some longer quotes (which takes away from the punchy format by Linken) and non-chronological groupings.

Wouldn’t it be better to make a new redacted book that removes all the psychotic verses, and name yourself after this new redacted book rather than the original fairy-tale book?

Do Torah Jews reject the quoted parts of Deuteronomy 20 and 32, and the other blood-thirsty commandments in mostly Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy?

The perversion of religion maybe. None of the abrahamic texts justify this insanity.

Have you ever read any of the Abrahamic texts?

Deuteronomy 32:40-46 40. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 41. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 42. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. 43. Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. 44. And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun. 45. And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: 46. And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

Quran 9:111 Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah ? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.

The scary thing is not just that commanders may be saying this, but what an extreme outlier the citizens of the USA are when it comes to not being able to differentiate between reality and fairy-tales: https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/USA-Update/2015/0316/Do-countries-become-less-religious-as-they-get-richer

Even when the specific fairy-tales oppose these actions: quotes from Jesus according to the gospels:

“If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” Matthew 5:39

“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,” Luke 6:27
