Ask a Theist, cont'd
Instead of ordering the Israelites to slaughter all the Canaanites because of their sinful ways (see Leviticus 20 and Joshua for the account of this genocide and collective punishment), why didn't Yahweh incentivize the Canaanites to reform? Even more pertinent, why did Yahweh create the Canaanites knowing full well they would live in sin?
