I just felt like sharing some verses from the "Good Book"

   "Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock." Psalms 137:9 NAB


 No one whose testicles have been crushed or whose *bleep* has been cut off may be admitted into the community of the Lord.   (Deuteronomy 23:2 NAB)

And put a knife to your throat if you have a ravenous appetite.   (Proverbs 23:2 NAB)
My teenager is screwed

"...They shall fall by the sword:
their infants shall be dashed in
pieces, and their women with child
shall be ripped up!" 
direct quote from YHWH -- Hosea 13:16


From there Elisha went up to Bethel.  While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him.  "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!"  The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord.  Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces.  (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)



Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest.  I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.'  (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)

Oh *bleep*, today is Sunday. Is typing considered work?

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (King James Version)

 18If 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:

 19Then 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;

 20And 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.

 21And 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.


Definitely one of my favorites...

"Happy those who seize your children and smash them against a rock." Psalms 137:9 NAB

The context of Psalm 137 is the Babylonian captivity.  The Psalmist speaks of the captors tormenting the people of God. The Psalmist is in exile and had probably witnessed the atrocities committed against his people, babies included.  In the revenge-style that was so common at the time, he wishes the same upon his enemy as a description of their utter destruction.  Nowhere does it say that God approves of the Psalmist’s request or that he fulfilled it.  Just because it is recorded that the Psalmist wrote the imprecation, doesn’t mean it was approved by God.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (King James Version)

In the Old Testament God appears harsh for three reasons. First, it was to demonstrate the exacting requirements of the Law, a perfect and demanding standard. Second, it ultimately demonstrates the need for grace that would eventually be manifested on the cross. Third, should rebellion take root the very heart of the gospel would be at risk since the prophecies of the Messiah coming to and through Israel could be undermined should rebellion become rampant and society fall apart causing the prophecies to fail. Therefore, we can conclude that this harsh requirement was a necessary legality to instill and designate the necessity of family order and respect and to ultimately provide another safeguard that would ensure the sacrifice of Christ.

If you bothered to research the meaning of the scriptures and not just take it out of context to mock it, you wouldn't appear as ignorant.

The biggie for Jews:
Sh'ma Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad

Hear, O Israel! Adonai is our G-d, Adonai is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4)

and one of my personal favs, from Exodus, when Moses parted the Red Sea:
Mi chamocha, ba'elim, Adonai? Mi kamocha, nedar bakodesh, nora tehilot, osei feleh? Shira chadasha shib'chu ge'ulim le'shimcha al s'fat hayam; Yachad kulam hodu ve'himlichu ve'amru: "Adonai yimloch le'olam va'ed."

Who is like you, Adonai, among other gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, doing miracles? With a new song, the ones You rescued praised Your name at the sea shore. All of them in unison gave thanks and praised Your rule, and said:  "Adonai will reign for ever and ever."


What strikes me the most about these two prayers, though, is that they never mention G-d being the only god...but that G-d is the only one we should worship.  Check out the Ten Commandments...Thou shalt not have any other gods before me...

[shernajwine]

there are other gods....created gods with no power and human flaws. but there is only ONE true God and there is NONE like Him.

the wonderful thing about the bible is its ability to be misquoted and used out of context for whatever you need it for.  however, since this post wasn't made to be attacking anyone, the quotes are funny

Always fun to defend psychopathic murderers   I could make up excuses for Charles Manson as well, but that would be silly, because what he commanded his followers to do was blatantly immoral and inexcusable.

[Falconer02]

Darn it, liljp. Ya beat me to it!

[shernajwine]

LOL God=Charles Manson. Yeah okay

Gods close-minded followers = Charles Mansons close-minded followers

Charles Manson quotes
I punched my mother out once.
I'm not very wise to many things.
I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me.
If you're going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy.

There is one in particular famous murder case done by Manson followers. The Tate murders.
A man was stabbed 51 times, shot and pistol whipped. They even broke the handle of the pistol on his skull. A pregnant woman pleading for the life of her unborn child was told "Woman, I have no mercy on you." and was stabbed 16 times. They used the blood of the victims to write the word "PIG" on the door.
These murders were done in revenge for Manson.

Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. Romans12:19

Manson got a 'kick' out of death and control. During the trial, one witness commented that "he [Manson] doesn't know about love... love is not his trip. Death is his trip."

Followers of God quotes
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1John 4:16
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Proverbs 8:17
Beloved, let us love on another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love 1John 4:7,8
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth 1 John 3:18
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Romans 12:9,10

Well, you don't have to fear hell if you don't believe such a silly place exists. 

[FuzzyCottonsocks]

In the name of Jesus, I rebuke you Satan.... 

A customer yelled that at my manager once. 

[liljp617]

LOL God=Charles Manson. Yeah okay 

Psychotic commander of murder and immorality = Psychotic commander of murder and immorality

[shernajwine]

I think my last post made a very clear difference between God and Manson and Manson's followers and God's followers.

You're being ridiculous and I would have expected better from you than to resort to school yard tactics of insulting.
