Joshua - Kicking Ass in the Promised Land

We have arrived.  Joshua and the Israelites enter the Promised Land and slaughtered all the men, women and children (except one tribe that tricked him).  OK, did anyone else have a huge problem with this?

That's really all I have to say about the Book of Joshua.  They went into the Promised Land, mass murdered practically everyone under the Lord's orders, divided the land and that's that.  What more can I say?  Well, apart from this isn't really helping me grow closer to my faith at all.  It's depressing.

Reading it wasn't as boring as in other Books.  This was more like a story, and really the only boring part was dividing up the land among the tribes of Israel.  So yay for not being completely boring,  but boooo for slaughter.
