Hi. My name is God. A Supreme Court ruling in 1963 really pissed me off. So I just killed a bunch of kids to prove a point.

Come follow me.

So it was a school kid with no religious education who did the shooting?

Yup, yup, so true, WCG. It's easier and more convenient to toss the hot blame potato rather than take a deep look into why this shit keeps happening.

So God let it happen because people no longer say prayers in school? Wow, lucky God don't look in on or care about people in Australia or Europe we would be so screwed

Using his own line of thinking, how would Brother Huckster-bee explain the pastor who raped and killed the 24-year old daughter of his fiance' to fulfill a sexual fantasy?

He can't use the excuse that God has been systematically removed from churches, so he'll just have to fall back on the convenient excuse that Satan got him.

It's mighty interesting how Huckabee can turn absolutely everything into a reason to either praise or excuse his sociopathic God. Apparently his belief in such a God has systematically removed his brain.

"He was doing a lot of good and Satan did not want him doing good and Satan got to him."

That explains it...

It is amazing. Nothing is anyone's fault and god's will can be supplanted by Satan, any time he wants...

God has nothing to do with it. The real question is how much firepower a lay citizen can be allowed to own. You can't let everyone have bombs, so it's a matter of just how much, isn't it?

The PEOPLE told God to get out of their life.
God, being a gentleman, did so.

Yes, because God needs to be a gentleman and mind the people?

So in other words, God was thinking, "I wanted to intervene with those kids, but it's more important to hold a grudge about people not praying to me."

Sheesh. What a lame god.

God is supposed to be omnipotent! I'm sure not forcing everyone to pray to him in school regardless of religion isn't enough to keep him out.


But I HAVE TROUBLE with the notion of God anyway!

My TBM parents feel the same way since Roomey lost the election as well! They blame taking God out of our country and I guess someone like Roomey would bring God back to our nation!!

Infanticide:

1 Samuel 15:3 God commands the death of helpless "suckling" infants. This literally means that the children god killed were still nursing.

Psalms 135:8 & 136:10 Here god is praised for slaughtering little babies.

Psalms 137:9 Here god commands that infants should be “dashed upon the rocks”.



The murdering of children:

Leviticus 20:9 “For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.”

Judges 11:30-40 Jephthah killed his young daughter (his only child) by burning her alive as a burnt sacrifice to the lord for he commanded it.

Psalms 137:8-9 Prayer/song of vengeance “0 daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.”

2 Kings 6:28-29 “And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.”

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.”

Judges 19:24-29 “Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go. Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light. And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold. And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place. And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.” To put it very bluntly this poor, young lady was murdered by her mate for being raped.

Exodus 12:29 God killed, intentionally, every first-born child of every family in Egypt, simply because he was upset at the Pharaoh. And god caused the Pharaoh’s actions in the first place. Since when is it appropriate to murder children for their ruler’s forced action?

Exodus 20:9-10 God commands death for cursing out ones parents Joshua 8 God commanded the deaths of 12,000 men, women, and children of Ai. They were all slain in the ambush that was planned by god.

2 Kings 2:23-24 The prophet Elisha, was being picked on by some young boys from the city because of his bald head. The prophet turned around and cursed them in the Lords name. Then, two female bears came out of the woods and killed forty-two of them. You would think that God could understand that sometimes the youthful make childish jokes. Calling someone “bald head” is far from being worthy of death.

Leviticus 26:30 “And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.”

1 Samuel 15:11-18 God repents of having made Saul king since Saul refused to carry out God’s commandments (i.e., Saul refused to murder all the innocent women and children.) At least god realizes what an immoral, murderous pig he is on this one.

I Kings 16:34 Laying the foundation for a city using your firstborn child and using your youngest son to set up the gates.

Isaiah 13:15-18 If God can find you, he will “thrust you through,” smash your children “to pieces” before your eyes, and rape your wife.

Jeremiah 11:22-23 God will kill the young men in war and starve their children to death.

Jeremiah 19:7-9 God will make parents eat their own children, and friends eat each other.

Lamentations 2:20-22 God gets angry and mercilessly torments and kills everyone, young and old. He even causes women to eat their children.

The bible is warped. It's what drove me away from Christianity and saying that God is OK with letting innocent kids die because we don't force religion down their throats doesn't help!

Thanks for posting that, kolobian, copied/pasted/saved.

Next time anybody says they believe the Bible literally, I'm bringing this list out.

The more I know about the god of the Bible, the more repelled I am.

The story about bears has always struck me as an example of how much BS the OT is...

The only bear that could have been there is the Eurasian Bear (ursus arctos arctos). It's range has never been proven to be as far south as the middle east at the time Kings was written. Some MAY have followed humans south.

The Eurasian bear is a type of Grizzly bear (local example is ursus arctos horribilis). With grizzlies, the females, (sows), are more likely to attack humans, than males, (boars). However, they do so only if they perceive a threat – like coming between them and their cub – or if they are sick or starving.

There is no way sows would react this way. Unless, perhaps, God was controlling them.

More bullshit...

Mike Huckabee is warped, the bible is warped. More evil has been done in the name of religion and god than you could shake a stick at.

Instead of finding fault, we should unite and find a way to prevent this from happening again.
