Why did God murder children for making fun of a bald guy?
|
I used to work with a bald, jewish guy. This was his favorite passage. In fact, I think it was the only one he knew.

I started a naming convention with my kids adding 'bob' to the end of their names. My mum trumped me by calling me baldybob. My wife recently remembered and told my kids.
That will teach you not to take the name of 'bob' in vain.

Elisha was just a normal ol' human without the magical ability to summon bears to attack children

Yeah it's in the thread Rahul. Elisha had da powaz already as a prophet, which gave him direct responsibility for them. He abused his powers to do evil. He was at fault.

He was at fault. Any powers that the biblical prophets ever used did not come from within them but was the "holy spirit" working through them. God can't shirk the responsibility for this story of slaughter.

I'm going with "because he's a psychopathic dick" or "because he doesn't exist".
It's a story to remind people not to speak ill of the prophets, as speaking against christianity is the worst and one unforgivable sin. It's also to remind people that Yahweh is a petty, vindictive psychopath.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
10 Christ-like figures that predate Jesus. Link shortened to Chris ate Jesus for some reason... http://listverse.com/2009/04/13/10-chris...ate-jesus/ Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88GTUXvp-50 A list of biblical contradictions from the infallible word of Yahweh. http://infidels.org/library/modern/jim_m...tions.html
And then watch the apologists try to explain that they weren't actually kids, but rather teenagers and young adults.
... Yeah, cause that definitely makes the story all that more palatable. |
