RE: How do religious people react to their own arguments?

One of the best kick ass and take name passages in the Bible is in the book of Zephaniah.
Zephaniah 1:2-3 (ERV) = "2 The Lord says, “I will destroy everything on earth. 3 I will destroy all the people and all the animals. I will destroy the birds in the air and the fish in the sea. I will destroy the evil people and everything that makes them sin. I will remove all people from the earth.” This is what the Lord said."
Clint Eastwood used a similar threat against the townspeople in the movie "Unforgiven".

LE 26:22 "I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children."
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
