You just completely contradicted what you said all within the same paragraph.
How so?

Furthermore, marriage does NOT equal guaranteed sex, all it guarantees is that you're stuck with the same person and could potentially lose half your sh!t - why don't you ask some of the married folks here about that one. If anything, you get LESS pvssy married than single.
You seem to know allot about marriage. Have you ever been married before?

Read the rest of the old testament and get back to me on this genocide. It's more than one specific conquest, there's DOZENS, where Israel is specifically instructed to kill all men, women, and children, leaving only the livestock and plundering gold/whatever else was of value. Read the first 3 books after exodus it comes up time and time again.
That's not true. In the book of Samuel, Saul was instructed to kill the livestock, when they left over things of value, Saul lost his throne as king and David was annointed. In the book of Joshua, when a gold item was recovered by the conquest of Jerico, the guy that took the gold was stoned to death because all their 'valuables' were considered to be an 'accursed' object.

When you think about it, what made Israel the chosen nation anyway?
Because of God's Covenant with Abraham. God always keeps His Covenants.
You may as well ask why did God make a Covanant with Abraham and no one else? Because, Abraham was the only guy during that time that pleased God and that God choose Him to be the nation to which He would reveal Himself and His salvation plan for everyone.

Just because they were oppressed/enslaved?
Abraham was neither oppressed or enslaved. He came from a wealthy and prosperious family in Ur. He followed the call of God, left them and became a hermit.

What made them better than any people? They were a pagan nation just like everyone else and did the same sh!t every other nation did. You should be able to think about this given that you've read the exodus.
I've already answered your questions above. But the point of Israel is actually a point against self-righteousness and religion as a whole. Nobody is righteous. The perfect nation could not keep the law, if they couldn't, than that invalidates all other religions around that claim good-works and keeping a law will earn brownie points to enter into heaven.
The point is that all have sinned, come short of the glory of God and need a saviour. Israel in that context would be a guinie pig experiment on a group of people trying to be righeous by their own efforts before God - and you are right, that's why Jesus came, we all need a Saviour.

Luke, no offense but your viewpoints are so skewed based on your personal experience (or rather lack thereof) it's pointless to argue any further.
If I do not practise what I preach, then I would have to agree with you.
If I fornicated or had sex with someone, or continued to do so in a habitual basis, then, sure, that would be destructive to my own testimony to support what I'm saying.
Unless what I am doing, or confessed to have done, contradicts what I'm preaching, then I do not see your point in bringing up experience that does not contradict what I'm preaching, but in fact supports it.
The problem is that the Bible, and the contents are spiritually discerned, so unless you have a spiritual mind, you are unable to comprehend what the bible is saying. If you are sold to be a carnally minded person, then, I concede that there is no point in having a spiritual discussion. When you choose to see things from a spiritual perspective, then perhaps it will be fruitful to continue this discussion.
In terms of posting on an amoral website - it is irrelevant. Light is more powerful than darkness, and when the light is on, the darkness has no choice but to repel or go away. What I am saying is light based on scripture and there is nothing you can say to change that fact, but you must silently agree with what I'm saying.
