Behold, this Christmas, the dead who lie upon the blood soaked land. Men, women, children and fetuses. The firstborn of Egypt, the Amalekites, 14,000 Israelite here, 500,000 there. All by the maniacal, genocidal, jealous hand of a supposed all loving god. If the case were that Christians, Jews, and Muslims, viewed their holy scriptures in the same fashion that a child reading "Three Little Pigs" would, there would not exist such a dire need to undue the rotted indoctrination that has poisoned beautiful minds for thousands of years. Unfortunately, for humankind, the aforementioned believers have chosen to silence that same voice which tells a child that it is 'just pretend'. They brought their private (and should have been kept so) beliefs into the realm of public discussion, scientific reality, and under the lens of scrutiny. Born uncorrupted, they would have remained so. If not for our meddling in their fragile and empty little cerebrums, the children of our future would have easily left gods -of any sort- behind long ago. Those who would go out and purchase a brand new home computer, only to take it home, unwrap and connect it, and then proceed to load the most damaging of viruses onto it, could easily argue with me that it was the will of the 'virus writer'. This is what some people do with their new babies. They cannot wait to get them home and begin administering the slow drip of religious cancer into their veins. Let us leave behind the great many excuses apologists make for the evils written among the Holy tales. For some things there is not a need for interpretation, nor a moral to justify a crime. Lets us also assume for the moment that the Bible is indeed the "word of god" (as many believers claim it to be), and not a clump of nonsensical stories written hundreds of years after the fact, by not-so-bright individuals who didn't know the Earth was a sphere, or that it rotated around the Sun rather than the other way around. God loves....to kill If you don't believe in the power of written words, the statement that [i]god loves to kill[/i] ought not bother you. However, if you agree with my own view that words can be very powerful tools, then your blood is likely boiling upon reading such a phrase. No matter though, the statement is false in any case. Only to the believer himself could this be true, when the thoughts incurs: How could someone that kills so much, and so often, and in such extreme proportions, not enjoy it ? Of course, in mass killings, god is also bringing his children, whom he loves, back home. That would bring a smile on any parents face! If one takes the Holy tales seriously and literally (or even those who examine it with an open mind), and compares an "Act of Terrorism" to an "Act of God", in no time would they must conclude that this character of "god" is comparable to an Osama bin Laden times a thousand. Conservatively. An act of terrorism is most defined as an act or threat of violence to coerce a population, often for political purposes. The definition is broad, but nonetheless the word is the word. In Genesis 7:21-23 , god basically wipes out billions of living creatures; (21) Every living thing that moved on the earth perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. (22) Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. (23) Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. God drowns innocent people, women, babies, and animals, basically from the get go. He also promises that he will do it again. This is [i]both[/i] an act of genocidal violence and the threat of it! But, did he make his point clearly enough in taking billions of lives in the ultimate act of terror? Not in his opinion. In Numbers 16:48-49 god kills 14,000 people who complained of being killed too much! (48) He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague stopped. (49) But 14,700 people died from the plague, in addition to those who had died because of Korah. In Chronicles 13:15-18 god assists the men of Judah in killing 500,000 people. [quote](15) and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. At the sound of their battle cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. (16) The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands. (17) Abijah and his men inflicted heavy losses on them, so that there were five hundred thousand casualties among Israel's able men. (18) The men of Israel were subdued on that occasion, and the men of Judah were victorious because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.[/quote] In Exodus 32, Moses talks god out of killing 3000 Jews, but then when he himself sees them worshiping a golden calf, he commands them to kill each other. God finishes the rest off with a his patented, and favored move, a plague. (27) Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.' " (28) The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. (29) Then Moses said, "You have been set apart to the LORD today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day." (30) The next day Moses said to the people, "You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin." (31) So Moses went back to the LORD and said, "Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. (32) But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written." (33) The LORD replied to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. (34) Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin." (35) And the LORD struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made. My personal favorite horror story, and most heinous of terror acts, comes in Exodus 12:29 when god kills ALL the firstborn of Egypt. At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well. The mass murder of innocent children, and cows. It can be defined no other way. The list seems to go on forever. God kills 50,000 in ]Samuel 6:19 for looking at the lords ark. God destroys the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and kills everyone by raining down burning sulfur on them (Genesis 19:24), sends two bears to maul to death forty-two youths (Kings 2:23-24), and finishes off the Amorites with killer hailstones, after having assisted in their slaughter (Joshua 10:10-11). Is god a terrorist? The answer is simple. If god were not a fictional, genocidal child-killing maniac, he would have been. It is easy to see why Israel opts to collectively punish Palestinians with starvation. They are simply doing gods work for him! Merry Christmas! Remember God is watching you believers, whilst the Atheists remain free to live.
