So.... Threats of hell in place of an actual cognisant argument.
Par for the course really.
I just asked a question your the one who filled in the blanks with what you believe to know about Christianity.

But there were bears, so that makes him a dick.
You seem to be confused as to who condemned these young men. God gave Elisha the power to do as he saw fit. The bears were just the vechical used to preserve the fear and respect Elisha needed to go before kings and armies and demand anything.
It was a different time and different people. Elisha needed to establish and maintain the God backed alpha persona so people would fear and listen to what he had to say. This could have been the difference between loosing these young men and whole cities of people.

I don't know, but here's a thought: let's figure out if there's a god first before we start doling out imaginary punishments.
What is their to figure out?

Drich, they don't know you like I do. Just tell 'em man ... tell 'em the "truth" as you've come to know it.
You see everybody, the reason why Drich doesn't give a shit is because he admitted to me two VERY important things:
#1 If his god does something, no matter what it is, it's automatically good and just. Sucks, but hey, that's the goodness of god - very dangerous.
#2 (and you can tell this one puts a smile on Drich's face) His god doesn't love you. That's right you heathen bastards, Drich's god doesn't love everyone and doesn't give a shit if you like it or not.
Anyway, I thought I'd help explain why Drich has no problem with this story.
Cheers
And here I thought you never listen.
