Imagine you have no house of your own. A "STRANGER" authoritatively tells you that he has chosen you and that he will give you a home of your own. You want to believe him. He takes you to a distant land and points out a house to you. He now says, "There is the home I give to you." You look and you see people in the house. He says, "Now, you go into that house and kill every man, women and child in that house or I will do to you what I thought to do to them!
