Quote:In the 24th chapter of 2 Samuel god got angry and killed 70,000 men because David held a census to see how many fighting men they had.
A classic example of bible bullshit. Archaeological surveys indicate that "Jerusalem" ( or whatever it was called at the time ) was a miserable little village with a population in the hundreds rather than the thousands in Iron Age I and II.
If "David" ever saw 70,000 men he would have pissed his loin cloth!
