I'm post crazy today...

Yesterday I was at kroger and as I was being wrung up the bagger boy asked what i had planned for the weekend - i said, reading. He said, reading what? I paused and internally smiled and said, 4 Views on the Canaanite Genocide. He said, o. I thought, exactly - not cause he's stupid or anything - but i imagine that besides its extreme unpopularity among westerners, and feel good sermon preachers - it probably also has relatively low interest even among students of scripture, because it makes no sense to us. I was previously included in this group, but in recent years i noticed it popping up plenty in liber, emergent, and non-christian discussions frequently, so i became mildly curious, but only to the point where i thought about it sometimes - and acknowledged that we must be more complete in understanding and thinking of God by being more complete in realizing who He is and what He has done to distinguish Himself - and only then being able to more fully worship Him as such or more fully reject him as such. I did take the next step up becoming interested in this subject when i realized that i could write on the subject for a paper this semester, so i'm taking the opportunity to do so. I'll post my findings prolly in a week or so, when i write the paper, but i have a feeling deeper grasping of one's personal theology is base to this discussion, you can't just walk into the middle of a conversation and expect to understand what and why is being said until your caught up in the story and the characters. one more thing, as i turns out, there are a lot more instances of Yahweh War than i thought.
