Fair enough, then.
I'm not surprised to have you agree. Call me naive, but even now what surprises me is when people
don't agree with this completely unassailable straightforward POV.
What had initially troubled me, although I'd kept quiet about it, was how your test for Godhood, in both power and goodness, mentioned only the hostages --- with which moral position I fully agree! ---
but then blithely ignored the suffering of far greater numbers right alongside. And what now prompted me to speak out was your disingenuous conflation --- pardon me, but what else can I call it? --- of those innocents (the vast masses of the "other" innocents) with those vile killers by lightly bringing up the virgins/raisins. That wasn't agreement, that was handwaving away, and disingenuously at that. (Pardon my repeated use of the word, but what else am I to call it?) I've seen enough of this attempted defense of the indefensible, and attempted defense of evil, by so many of whom I'd not have expected such, that I thought briefly to add my voice here, for what that is worth, to
@winter salt 's on this.
...Heh, I did post one more time on this here, didn't I, despite saying I wouldn't? ...Won't now. ...And acknowledged and appreciated, your agreement now,
@AmyStrange . Fair enough, then.
