The Canaanites, sitting in the chair, and trusting God's justice

Ben works through the hard question of God's judgment on the Canaanites: what is the right punishment for a society that sacrifices children, since nothing is no answer either, and people who critique God would not sit in that chair. He cites the TV show 24, where Vice President Noah Daniels learns the presidency cannot be understood until you have sat in the chair, and Abraham bargaining with God over Sodom and Gomorrah. He concludes majority morality has been dangerous everywhere, always, and the innocent victims are the part that requires trusting God, like trusting Him with unborn babies and those who never hear the good news.
