In my SBC church of the 40s and 50s (after the radical conservative take-over in the70s and 80s the denomination is no longer the one in which I grew up) we never heard of the various OT passages where God commands genocide. It's only within the last decade or so that through the internet the interested lay person has become aware of them and their implications.

Articles such as this can help me as I continue working out what I believe about the nature of what/who might be termed 'God.'

Once again, thank you.
