Yes deliberately sinning against human beings is wrong, always has been and always will be. It is more than not morally right to commit genocide, it is a sin. The problem is you don't know who the Canaanites were.
Numbers 13:33 tells us who the Canaanites were that God ordered to be killed to the last man, woman, and child. They were the sons of Anak, they were giants, the Nephilim. The Canaanites God ordered to be killed were not appart of His creation, they were not fully human but were human hybrids.
God did not order the Israelites to commit genocide against Human beings, He did order genocide against the Nephilim however.

And the Nephilim were angel/human hybrids (if we are to believe the bible), that means they were at least, partially human as well as part angel. So what you are saying, is that although humans shouldn't be killed, and angels are servents of god, when the two of them mate, the sum is LESS then the original parts? That's fucked up.
Besides, as Spak pointed out, they supposedly died in the flood, plus, god allowed them to get together, god made man and angel, and the wholesale slaughter of humanoids is still genocide, no matter how you want to dress it up.
The eradication of animals is a sickening thing, you think you can justify genocide? You sick bastard.
God+people he doesn't like=genocide. Period.
If they were not god's creation then how, according to your religion, did they come about? I thought that your god created everything. So those hybrids were part angel, part human, right? An angel is god's creation and so is a human [according to you]. Furthermore, your god presumably made it possible for the two to crossbreed yet you state that the resultant entity was NOT god's creation. By the same logic none of us are gods creation either since we are simply products [children] of the original creations [Adam and Eve].
Congratulations on officially shooting yourself in the fundie foot.
Ok now explain the Phillistines, the Amelekites and fucked if I can be bothered getting the other Nations they were "ordered" to commit genocide on. There were at least 5 more.
Furthermore, why is that you use 'they were raped by Angels' to justify genocide against neighbours, but ignore the fact that Sodom wanted to rape Angels and launch some misplaced gay hysteria?
Most tellingly the Nephilim were all drowned in the flood in Genesis 7 weren't they? So the Canaanites and other tribes attacked in Exodus, Joshua and Judges, clearly weren't Nephilim. Sheesh, make your your lies agree with the official lies. Much less embarrassing.
Yes, and then that Very Old red dragon came in and started using its fire breath and Great Cleave on the Israelites, but my elven archer chick scored like three natural twenties in a row on her Aimed Shot and totally killed it in one hit. It was freakin' sweet.
Seriously, dude...WTF?
And if they were no humans, why did the take the virgin girls for the sake of procreation?, YOU CAN´T MATE WITH A GOAT, FOR EXAMPLE!!. And prove that there were giants, ARCHAEOLOGY SAYS THAT THEY WERE HUMANS AND YOUR ISRAELITES A BUNCH OF MURDERERS. Like were all the people at the time, for that matter. Read the Illiad.
Fundiebabble to english translation: "My God is always right, therefore, if he kills or orders persons to be killed it is all happy and nice, not murder."
If your God is omnipotent, why does he have people killed instead of just changing their minds for them?
And even if God HAD ordered genocide in the Old Testament, what would that say for those obeying such a command? That it was okay because they were "just following orders"?
In case you missed a particular memo from Nuremberg, we have seen that this is NOT considered a justification!

ARCHAEOLOGY SAYS THAT THEY WERE HUMANS AND YOUR ISRAELITES A BUNCH OF MURDERERS.
Actually, archaeology says that the conquest of Canaan didn't happen. The walls of Jericho fell roughly 1000 years before Joshua was supposed to have lived, and most of the evidence points to a gradual, non-violent migration.
Maybe the Canaanites weren't giants, maybe the Hebrews were just very short.
Also, if this is your idea of worth (only humans are exempt from genocide), maybe it's no wonder any aliens out there haven't contacted us yet. They're fucking scared of retards like you!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
