Needless Violence

And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 

These verses are from the Christian Bible, the book of Exodus, chapter 12, verses 29 and 30.

These verses tell us the very old and the very young died. Of what crime is a three minute old baby guilty?

These verse also tell us animals died. Of what crime is a calf guilty?

The Christian Bible is one of the most violent books in the history of humankind.
