The context under which children being dashed upon the rocks is good? No sorry...I don't see any context under which that is right under any circumstances. The context under which it's ok to stone a non virgin? Yeah sorry, once again drawing a blank on that one as being a good thing to do under any circumstance or in any time period. Do you personally think these are good actions and that if you knew someone who did these things or took delight in them would be someone you would look up to? Just curious. Otherwise you strike me as yet another Christian making excuses for psychopathic behavior for this God you worship, much like I'm sure some Germans made excuses as to why it was OK that Hitler was gassing the Jews.

Hidebound to a superstition, and as far as superstitions go, an oppressive and ridiculous one at that.
I guess once you commit yourself to believing that the God of the Bible is all good and all holy and everything he does HAS to be good, then you find yourself making the ridiculous assertions as do so many Christians do that it's all about CONTEXT. Same reasoning I'm sure that some Germans told themselves about how it was good that Hitler was purging Germany of an 'impure' race and that if our almighty Fuhrer does it, then it must by default be OK because well after all he is the Fuhrer and we are not to question the morality of it all because there just has to be a good 'context' and reason behind it all that we are not privy too.
More evidence to suggest that there is nothing like faith in Christianity to take otherwise atrocious acts and make them OK, as long as the God of the Bible does them. The God of the Bible, so good at his "do as I say but not as I do" approach to morality.

Please enlighten me about the context of say 2-3 of the passages so that my 'atheist, ignorant' brain can comprehend the flaws in my thinking about such things.
I'll take your lack of denial as an admission of guilt.
You want people to burn in hell because they don't agree with you or like your god.
All you have to do is push just a wee little bit to expose the rotten core of fundamentalist belief systems. It's why I always say that there's no difference between ISIS and fundamentalist Christians except that the Christians are restrained by secular laws.

Yep, the Muslim world has so fused religious observance with governance that there is no such thing as secular rule of law. Ironically, this is the wet dream of fundamentalism -- some form of theocracy just like the Muslim world they so demonize.
