God did not really advocate slaughtering innocents simply because "his people" wanted land or power or some such.
[/ QUOTE ] No, he advocated slaughtering "bad people" because they had to be purified.

Just to hammer home how ridiculously biased and dishonest you are on this subject.
From wikipedia:
"The Biblical account of the battle between the Midianites and Gideon[16] asserts that the Israelites suffered at the hands of the Midianites for a space of six years. The Midianites seem to have been then a powerful and independent nation; they allied themselves with the Amalekites and the Kedemites, and they oppressed the Israelites so severely that many were obliged to seek refuge in caves and strongholds; Midianite raiders destroyed crops and reduced them to extreme poverty.[17]"
So... uh, yeah. Do you see how this is different than the statement "he advocated slaughtering "bad people" because they had to be purified"? Not exactly a historically accurate statement, chief.
