No one actually ever means it. It's a colloquialism, "they should get slapped." That's why I said it's the internet. People talk about how Trump should get smacked, talk about how they would punch someone. It's pretty clear they don't actually mean that it should really happen. Especially when talking about people who supposedly lived 2000 years ago.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
