No true Scotsman
In your preferred text, more specifically for example Numbers 31:7-18, you can't possibly argue that Moses et al did not use their higher being to their own benefit while simultaneously rationalizing away what any reasonable person would consider immoral behavior.
It starts out with... Numbers 31:7 "They fought against Midian,
as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man."
Is Moses an example of a NON truly religious monotheist? Or do you take this as allegory while accepting literally the Flood story?
