What they refuse to take into account is that these "giants" were not real humans, but mutant offspring of fallen angels currently dwelling in the land of Canaan. That's why 10 of the spies sent by Moses were so afraid, considering themselves as mere "grasshoppers" in comparison.
In this situation our God is preserving the purity of mankind, by using Israel to destroy the Nephilim completely, yet liberal "scholars" would use this to condemn God for not "saving" Nephilim women and children.

I don't think it is correct to say that all the Canaanites that were driven out/killed by the Israelites were Nephilim.
One argument I have heard against Christianity is that "Why is the Old Testament God so bloodthirsty compared to the New Testament God (Jesus) who is so loving and merciful" How would you respond?
