God never told the Israelites to kill the Canaanites. The Israelites believed that God told them to kill the Canaanites.

Italo Calvino
“The unique book, which contains the whole, could only be the sacred text, the total word revealed. But I do not believe totality can be contained in language; my problem is what remains outside, the unwritten, the unwritable. The only way left me is that of writing all books, writing the books of all possible authors.”
Italo Calvino, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler

“Secrets, she agreed. The definition of personality, I went on, reminding her that Odysseus wept when he heard the poet sing of his great deeds abroad because, once sung, they were no longer his alone. They belonged to anyone who heard the song.”
Just Ward, An Unfinished Season

“In the strictest sense wholeness cannot be a direct objective. We approach or progress toward wholeness by participating in the conversion process. That is our clear and direct objective, participation in the conversion process. And there is something we can do about that. We can begin by embarking upon the journey inward. We can learn to pray. We can learn to pray by first being quiet before God.”
Jesse M. Trotter, Christian Wholeness: Spiritual Direction for Today

Martin Luther King Jr.
“The greatness of our God lies in the fact that he is both tough minded and tenderhearted. He has qualities both of austerity and gentleness. The Bible, always clear in stressing both attributes of God, expresses his tough mindedness in his justice and wrath and his tenderheartedness in his love and grace. God has two outstretched arms. One is strong enough to surround us with justice and one is gentle enough to embrace us with grace.”
Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love

Wole Soyinka
“Yes, you know damned well what you should have done if you sincerely desired their surrender. You could have dropped it [the atom bomb] on one of their mountains, even in the sea, anywhere they could see what would happen if they persisted in the war, but you chose instead to drop it on peopled cities. I know you, the white mentality: Japanese, Chinese, Africans, we are all subhuman. You would drop an atom bomb on Abeokuta or any of your colonies if it suited you!”
Wole Soyinka, Aké: The Years of Childhood
