I said there was a time in place at that point in history that God directly demanded it. God can kill whoever he wants, I'm certainly cool with that, he's the reason I'm alive.
....

and a few lines later...

The only way I'd ever kill someone from a demand of God would be if the evidence was absolute and seen by other people.. I'm pretty sure God would understand, at least I hope he would.

Someone who claims to be a Christian is "cool with that" when his God can "an kill whoever he wants".


So faith in a Christian God enables folks to believe that killing is "cool" (and leads to births of more Christians like him), and that "God would understand" that "The only way I'd ever kill someone from a demand of God would be if the evidence was absolute"

Use of one's faith in a God to promote one's own rationalizations for anything within the realm of human activity seems a mighty weak branch to walk out on, but that's just me. But that seems to be what each of the examples in the video portrayed.

Now tell us again why we must strictly limit our discussion of a faith in a God to the God you decide we should be discussing in a forum about religion, and why and how we are supposed to limit our discussions to the elements of faith in a God, while ignoring all the other ways that faith in a God can be and was used in December 2012 on this planet. Some Christians who post here might not be in agreement with your limitations of how to view even only the Christian religion, as my linked post will provide evidence.
