And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. John 20:10
20:14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (KJV)

This is what awaits us heathens if we don't succumb to the Christian myth.

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us - he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." Psalms 137:8-9 (NIV)

Incidentally, this is the psalm that starts, poetically enough, with "By the waters, the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, and wept, for thee, Zion..." --an oft-quoted psalm, but then it ends with that.

MINE:

"And he [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them." (2 Kings 2:23-25)

More seriously and sincerely, I like this: "For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again" (Ecclesiastes 3:19).

"For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again" (Ecclesiastes 3:19).

Awesome verse there Entropist! "man hath no preeminence above a beast" Sounds like something Darwin would say.

[Tiberius]

Ezekiel 23:19-21

19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt.
20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

[Cego_Colher]

"and God saw that it was good." probably not my favorite, but one day I tried to read the bible. I didn't get very far.

[Minimalist]

"Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished." (Isaiah 13:15-16)

Yeah...all that heavenly goodness from Yahweh the Bloody-Handed.

[Rev. Rye]

O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us - he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." Psalms 137:8-9 (NIV)

Incidentally, this is the psalm that starts, poetically enough, with "By the waters, the waters of Babylon we sat down and wept, and wept, for thee, Zion..." --an oft-quoted psalm, but then it ends with that.

I love that one too.

Here's my favorite: Exodus 8:2

And if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite your entire land with frogs;

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably need to know is where I found it, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. Except that I will say it was from Magnolia, the closest thing to an adaptation of a Salinger book I've seen.
