The Amalekite Genocide - You may find this heavy reading for a Monday but it does take on a tough and common question about the "God of the Old Testament."
"One of the standard
ways that the New Atheists attack Christianity is by using some of the Old
Testament war passages to argue that God is violent and petty. One of the
favourite passages for this is the so-called Amalekite Genocide of
1 Samuel 15. But difficulties with passages such as this are not
restricted to atheists."
