BIBLICAL GOD COMMANDS TO KILL AGAIN AND AGAIN

----------------------------------------------

"Whoever touches the mountain is to be put to death."

Exodus 19:12, Bible (NIV)

 

Because the 'purity' of a piece of rock is more important to God than humans.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death."

Exodus 21:17, Leviticus 20:9, Bible (NIV)

 

God is so good at unconditionally disregarding children's feelings. He doesn't care if he provided you horrible parents. If you complain, you die.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Do not allow a sorceress to live."

Exodus 22:18, Bible (NIV)

"A man also or woman... that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death"

Leviticus 20:27, Bible (KJV)

 

God was just watching while countless innocent men, women, and children were tortured and murdered because of his witch-hunting commandments. Moses should have told him that Voldemort isn't real.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed."

Exodus 22:20, Bible (NIV)

 

God's vulnerable feelings need to be protected... by ruthless manslaughter.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Moses said, 'Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.' And all the Levites rallied to him. Then he said to them, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: "Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor."' The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died... And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made."

Exodus 32:26-28,35, Bible (NIV)

 

God commands people to kill friends and family members who honor a different imaginary patron. God feels offended and he needs blood to calm down, lots of blood. For dessert, God strikes remaining survivors with a plague.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death."

Exodus 35:2, Bible (NIV)

"They found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation... And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones" 

Numbers 15:32-35, Bible (KJV) 

 

A godly "balance" of crime and punishment: death for working. There isn't even a victim in this pseudo-crime.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If a man commits adultery with another man's wife... both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death."

Leviticus 20:10, Bible (NIV)

"If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die."

Deuteronomy 22:22, Bible (NIV)

 

God of the Old Testicle doesn't care about the happiness of people, he only cares how their private parts are used. His fixation on genitalia is nothing short of manic. By the way, maybe that woman's husband is an abusive monster, but she can't formally divorce him because Yahweh didn't give women the right to ask for a divorce.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman... They are to be put to death"

Leviticus 20:13, Bible (NIV)

 

God has some people be born gay, then commands they be killed for acting according to the way he created them. Very logical.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If a priest's daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; she must be burned in the fire."

Leviticus 21:9, Bible (NIV)

 

Lunatic God thinks honor killings are fair.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them."

Leviticus 24:16, Bible (NIV)

 

God is so weak emotionally, he can't handle any criticism with dignity and commands his followers to immediately murder whoever is not dancing to his tune without regard as to the validity of the criticism. Like some crazy delusional emperor.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it. Anyone else who approaches it is to be put to death."

Numbers 1:51, Bible (NIV)

"After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, only then are the Kohathites to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die."

Numbers 4:15, Bible (NIV)

"They [other Levites] must not go near the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar. Otherwise both they and you [Aaron] will die."

Numbers 18:1-3, Bible (NIV)

 

Possessive God takes "don't drink from my cup" to the level of ordering to murder anyone outside his special small circle for approaching or touching it.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Appoint Aaron and his sons to serve as priests; anyone else who approaches the sanctuary is to be put to death."

Numbers 3:10, Bible (NIV)

"They [Moses, Aaron, and his sons] were responsible for the care of the sanctuary... Anyone else who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death."

Number 3:38, Bible (NIV)

"Only you [Aaron] and your sons may serve as priests in connection with everything at the altar and inside the curtain... Anyone else who comes near the sanctuary is to be put to death."

Numbers 18:7, Bible (NIV)

 

Introvert God doesn't feel comfortable near strangers; he wants them all put to death upon approach.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"An Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite woman... When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this... he drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman's stomach... The name of the Midianite woman who was put to death was Kozbi... The Lord said to Moses, 'Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them. They treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the Peor incident involving their sister Kozbi'"

Numbers 25:6-18, Bible (NIV)

 

God Yahweh is specifying what it means to "love your enemies" in his language; and how little it takes to qualify as an "enemy".

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"They warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males... And Moses said... 'Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.'"

Numbers 31:7-18, Bible (KJV)

 

God wants them to slaughter all adults and children, except virgin girls that should be "kept for themselves" for a very obvious purpose. Unfortunately, religion makes many people so blind and deaf that they keep coming up with excuses to justify such actions as moral and right instead of questioning the book with a god like this.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Sihon king of Heshbon refused to let us pass through. For the Lord your God had made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as he has now done. The Lord said to me... 'Now begin to conquer and possess his land'... we took all his towns and completely destroyed them — men, women and children. We left no survivors. But the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves."

Deuteronomy 2:30-35, Bible (NIV)

 

Let's recap what happened here. To trigger a conflict God used mind control to make king Sihon refuse to let the Israelites pass through his country. Then God commanded the Israelites to conquer the country and kill all civilians, including children. Don't forget grabbing the plunder. This is like drugging a mayor and then killing entire city for mayor being high. What a divine example of justice and morality.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The Lord our God also gave into our hands Og king of Bashan and all his army. We struck them down, leaving no survivors. At that time we took all his cities. There was not one of the sixty cities that we did not take from them... and there were also a great many unwalled villages. We completely destroyed them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying every city — men, women and children."

Deuteronomy 3:3-6, Bible (NIV)

 

God never gets tired of orchestrating genocides for his pleasure. And he didn't even give them a chance to hear the "gospel" or its Old Testament alternative to get "saved" for the afterlife. He wants them killed at the spot and cast into hell. Killing children of infidels makes God feel especially delighted.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations — the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites... you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy"

Deuteronomy 7:1-2, Bible (NIV)

 

For God so loved the world... that he gave his one and only nation a direction, that whoever stands against their interests shall not live but be exterminated. For God did not send his nation into the world to help the world, but to commit genocides through it.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire... You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity"

Deuteronomy 7:5,16, Bible (NIV)

 

ISIL adepts invade territories of other nations, take them away, establish the law of their god there and kill the opposition. Biblical "holy wars" are the ISIL of the time. The parallels are very clear, even the destruction of religious legacy — statues, etc. — typically happens along with the activity of both groups. The only difference is that the biblical God took it even one step further, often "commanding" to kill not only the opposition but the entire nation including children.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"God is the one who goes across ahead of you like a devouring fire. He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly."

Deuteronomy 9:3, Bible (NIV)

 

God casts "+50 damage to infidels" to speed up annihilation of the Anakites.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, 'Let us follow other gods'... you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul... That prophet or dreamer must be put to death."

Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Bible (NIV)

 

It's ironic that earlier God's arguments to believe in him were signs and wonders prophesied through Moses. Now God says when someone like Moses comes from a competing God and does the same, kill him. It's like saying "believe in me because I can do X, but don't believe in another God that can also do exactly the same". By the way, the cost of this divine test is the life of the poor guy used by God as expendable material.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, 'Let us go and worship other gods'... Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. Stone them to death" 

Deuteronomy 13:6-10, Bible (NIV)

 

The quintessence of biblical family values: you have to immediately kill your children, spouses, siblings, and friends for an invitation to worship their imaginary friend instead of your imaginary friend.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If... troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, 'Let us go and worship other gods'... you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock... burn the town and all its plunder... Then the Lord will turn from his fierce anger"

Deuteronomy 13:12-17, Bible (NIV)

 

It's hard to find words to describe the depth of madness of the biblical deity manifested in his serious anger management issues, his untamable dependency on human worship, and his urge to exterminate entire cities in which people have alternative preferences. And there are many more other manifestations of his troubled personality.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If a man or woman living among you... has worshiped other gods... stone that person to death." 

Deuteronomy 17:2-5, Bible (NIV)

 

God gives people the freedom to choose. Choose to worship only him or to be executed.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Anyone who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to the Lord your God is to be put to death." 

Deuteronomy 17:12, Bible (NIV)

 

God feels insecure in a free speech environment and tries to shut people up by threatening to have killed whoever doesn't comply.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"A prophet who presumes to speak in my [God's] name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death."

Deuteronomy 18:20, Bible (NIV)

 

God can't defend himself. He needs his followers to kill representatives of the opposing faction. Isn't it suspicious?

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept... all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse... put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves... This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them — the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites — as the Lord your God has commanded you."

Deuteronomy 20:10-17, Bible (NIV)

 

"Pro-peace anti-nazi" God provides details which nations should be exterminated right away, which nations should be offered an option to be enslaved before being exterminated, and which categories of people make a good war booty.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town... Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death... All Israel will hear of it and be afraid." 

Deuteronomy 21:18-21, Bible (NIV)

 

God wants parents to kill their disobedient children so that others hear it, get afraid and become submissive. God is so far behind in psychology that fear is the only family-building method he knows.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If a man takes a wife... and gives her a bad name, saying, 'I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,' then the young woman's father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate proof that she was a virgin... her parents shall display the cloth... If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death."

Deuteronomy 22:13-21, Bible (NIV)

 

God is not aware that not all women bleed at their "first time", so he comes up with this stupid brutal "bloody virginity evidence" law that led to killing plenty of women for no reason.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her... stone them to death — the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife."

Deuteronomy 22:23-24, Bible (NIV)

 

What if it was a rape, the rapist had a knife and threatened to kill the victim at the spot if she screams? Or he had tools to prevent her from screaming? God doesn't bother himself thinking through scenarios. If you didn't scream loud enough while being raped, you die for it.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things; Achan... took some of them. So the Lord's anger burned against Israel... The Lord said to Joshua... 'Whoever is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire, along with all that belongs to him'... Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons and daughters... Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them... Then the Lord turned from his fierce anger."

Joshua 7:1-26, Bible (NIV)

 

God's "justice" demands burning sons and daughters if their dad grabbed a wrong item. Only then God's anger can cool down.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The temple was crowded with men and women... and on the roof were about three thousand men and women watching Samson perform. Then Samson prayed to the Lord... Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood... Samson said, 'Let me die with the Philistines!' Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it."

Judges 16:27-30, Bible (NIV)

 

God's man Samson pioneered suicide terrorist attacks. YAHWEH AKBAR!

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"David [a man after God's heart] also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground and measured them off with a length of cord. Every two lengths of them were put to death, and the third length was allowed to live. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute... And the Arameans became subject to him and brought tribute. The Lord gave David victory wherever he went."

2 Samuel 8:2-6, Bible (NIV)

 

Sometimes God's greed is stronger than his ethnic purge intentions. A cord came in handy, didn't it?

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"As soon as he [Baasha] began to reign, he killed Jeroboam's whole family. He did not leave Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all, according to the word of the Lord given through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite."

1 Kings 15:29, Bible (NIV)

"As soon as he [Zimri] began to reign and was seated on the throne, he killed off Baasha's whole family. He did not spare a single male, whether relative or friend. So Zimri destroyed the whole family of Baasha, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu"

1 Kings 16:11-12, Bible (NIV)

 

God can't reach his goals without someone telling someone else to do something that will be interpreted as divine instruction. In reality, those were just political murders, pictured by every successor as God's will, so that common folk stay cool.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Elijah commanded them, 'Seize the [450] prophets of Baal. Don't let anyone get away!' They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there."

1 Kings 18:40, Bible (NIV)

 

Prophet Elijah continues the good old biblical tradition of murdering dissidents.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, 'This is what the Lord says: "Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands"'... The Israelites inflicted a hundred thousand casualties on the Aramean foot soldiers in one day."

1 Kings 20:28-29, Bible (NIV)

 

God the Butcher continues his death marathon, killing by hands of his followers 100,000 people because they called him a god of hills and not the valleys.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"He [prophet] said to the king [Ahab], 'This is what the Lord says: "You have set free a man I had determined should die. Therefore it is your life for his life, your people for his people."'... Men took the princes [of Ahab] and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets... Then Jehu ordered, 'Put them in two piles at the entrance of the city gate until morning... The Lord has done what he announced through his servant Elijah.' So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who remained of the house of Ahab, as well as all his chief men, his close friends and his priests."

1 Kings 20:42, 2 Kings 10:7-10, Bible (NIV)

 

Watch out, God kills merciful people. The basis for God's death sentence for the released person was that he called God a god of hills and not valleys. What a horrible crime! After Ahab spared the life of that "criminal", God commanded to kill the family and friends of Ahab for it. Fantastic!

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The prophet poured the oil on Jehu's head and declared, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: "I anoint you king over the Lord's people Israel. You are to destroy the house of [current king of Israel] Ahab... every last male."'"

2 Kings 9:6-8, Bible (NIV)

 

This divine anointment accompanied by the murder of the ruling family — in order to replace it — is suspiciously similar to a typical old-school coup.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Jehu said, 'Come with me and see my zeal for the Lord'... When Jehu came to Samaria, he killed all who were left there of Ahab's family"

2 Kings 10:16-17, Bible (NIV)

 

Unfortunately, biblical passages like this — and there are many of them — set a role model for many followers to show their "zeal for the Lord" in a similar and blatantly brutal manner.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Jehu... said to them... 'Summon all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests. See that no one is missing, because I am going to hold a great sacrifice for Baal'... But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal... As soon as Jehu had finished making the burnt offering, he ordered the guards and officers: 'Go in and kill them; let no one escape.'" 

2 Kings 10:18-25, Bible (NIV)

 

In the Bible, God and his men don't hesitate to lie to their advantage. It's like stealing to make a donation to the church. Clergy is usually fine with it though, just like their God is fine with lying in order to gather and then slay infidels.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The Lord says... 'The underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me... I will have him cut down with the sword'... His sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword"

2 Kings 19:6-7,37, Bible (NIV)

 

God: "People, ple-e-e-ease defend me as I can't defend myself. Kill your dad."

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Josiah... did what was right in the eyes of the Lord.... Josiah removed all the shrines at the high places... Josiah slaughtered all the priests of those high places on the altars and burned human bones on them."

2 Kings 22:1-2; 23:19-20, Bible (NIV)

 

The Bible seeks to imprison minds. It treats alternative opinions as crimes with only one answer to them: a death sentence.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"There fell down many slain, because the war was of God."

1 Chronicles 5:22, Bible (KJV)

 

The godlier the war, the more are slain.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"He [David] brought out the people that were in it [Rabbah city], and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon."

1 Chronicles 20:3, Bible (KJV)

 

Biblical holy purification... cutting people with farm tools.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death"

2 Chronicles 15:13, Bible (NIV)

 

The Bible takes subjugation to the next level, so that not only believing in another deity leads to execution, but even neutrality becomes a crime, punishable by death. Sweet.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Amaziah... did what was right in the eyes of the Lord... led his army to the Valley of Salt, where he killed ten thousand men of Seir... also captured ten thousand men alive, took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces."

2 Chronicles 25:1,11-12, Bible (NIV)

 

Killing 10,000 people, then pushing another 10,000 off the cliff to watch them smash into pieces, is what is right in the eyes of the Lord. He appreciated the amusement.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The righteous will be glad... when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked."

Psalm 58:10, Bible (NIV)

 

Biblical expression of biblical love.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"O daughter of Babylon... Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!"

Psalm 137:9, Bible (ESV)

 

Dashing infants of Babylonian infidels against the rocks — so blissful!

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Thou wilt slay the wicked, O God... They speak against thee wickedly... I hate them with perfect hatred"

Psalm 139:19-22, Bible (KJV)

 

The true biblical hate for infidels is not just hate, but the "perfect" hate, with the expectation of their slaughter.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Prepare a place to slaughter his children for the sins of their ancestors"

Isaiah 14:21, Bible (NIV)

 

Slaughtering children for the sins of their ancestors is an integral part of divine justice and wisdom.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The sword of the Lord is bathed in blood, it is covered with fat... For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom."

Isaiah 34:6, Bible (NIV)

 

What a great slaughter it was!

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The Lord himself told me to march against this country and destroy it."

Isaiah 36:10, Bible (NIV)

 

That's what God normally tells the rulers who want to invade a country and kill its residents.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Why do all the faithless live at ease?... Drag them off like sheep to be butchered! Set them apart for the day of slaughter!"

Jeremiah 12:1-3, Bible (NIV)

 

Best wishes to faithless from God's prophet. Dehumanization of infidels makes it emotionally easy for believers to murder them without remorse.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wineskin should be filled with wine... I am going to fill with drunkenness all who live in this land... I will smash them one against the other, parents and children alike, declares the Lord. I will allow no pity or mercy or compassion to keep me from destroying them."

Jeremiah 13:12-14, Bible (NIV)

 

God craves amusement. Common plagues and death by the hands of invaders got boring. So, God got a bit creative and decided to make all people drunk and fight each other to death, parents and children. He also reminded himself to allow no pity, no mercy, no compassion. Exciting!

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"'A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord's work! A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed!'... declares the Lord"

Jeremiah 48:10-12, Bible (NIV)

 

In God's opinion, praying, singing, and preaching are for sissies... Cursed sissies, because God curses whoever doesn't kill infidels for him. Unfortunately, this barbaric biblical garbage was taken seriously way too often.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"I [God] will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire"

Jeremiah 49:2, Bible (KJV)

 

God will take a special pleasure watching daughters of the Ammonites burned per his arrangement.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"You [people] are my [God's] war club, my weapon for battle — with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms"

Jeremiah 51:20, Bible (NIV) 

violence in the bible

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the Lord."

Ezekiel 6:7, Bible (NIV)

 

By that time it's been many centuries since God started his attempts to make people know about him, but he still hasn't come up with a better way than killing them by the hands of others.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"[God] said... 'Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it... Kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark... fill the courts with the slain. Go!' So they went out and began killing throughout the city."

Ezekiel 9:4-7, Bible (NIV)

 

Keep in mind that the term "detestable things" in biblical language has a very broad application: starting from worshipping anyone but biblical god, ending with not following any of 613 mostly nonsensical commandments. For God, mass slaughters are appropriate responses to thought crimes.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"The Sovereign Lord says: Bring a mob against them and give them over to terror and plunder. The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords; they will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses... Bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry."

Ezekiel 23:46-49, Bible (NIV)

 

What would biblical god Yahweh want you to do when you meet idolaters? Right, kill them and their children.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"I will summon a sword against Gog... declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man's sword will be against his brother... And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations."

Ezekiel 38:21-23, Bible (NIV)

 

God's greatness and holiness are about making brothers murder each other. No price is too high in God's quest for fame.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Samaria... has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword; their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open."

Hosea 13:16, Bible (ESV)

 

God reminds us how delighted he feels when the children of infidels are torn apart and their pregnant women are butchered in Yahweh-style abortions.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"'In that day,' declares the Lord, 'will I not destroy the wise men of Edom, those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?... Everyone in Esau’s mountains will be cut down in the slaughter.'"

Obadiah 1:8-9, Bible (NIV)

 

God hates wise people and wants them executed. They expose his flaws.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses... 'I am against you,' declares the Lord Almighty. 'I will lift your skirts over your face... I will pelt you with filth'"

Nahum 3:3-6, Bible (NIV)

 

God dedicates lots and lots of room in the Bible to describe via prophets how infidel countries should be transformed into human slaughterhouses, but he doesn't bother providing any objective evidence as to why anyone should listen to his prophets who call people to arms to make it all happen.

"I [God] will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land. And if anyone still prophesies, their father and mother, to whom they were born, will say to them, 'You must die, because you have told lies in the Lord's name.' Then their own parents will stab the one who prophesies."

Zechariah 13:2-3, Bible (NIV)

 

Family-oriented God wants parents to kill their children for a few unsanctioned words.

"Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren... Every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people."

Acts 3:22-23, Bible (KJV)

 

The New Testament couldn't entirely abandon the Old-Testament-style physical "solution" for infidels.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors"

1 Peter 2:13-14, Bible (NIV)

"The Lord knoweth how to... reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: but chiefly them that... despise government... These, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed"

2 Peter 2:9-12, Bible (KJV)

 

It's interesting to observe how in order to survive in the flux of a changing political environment the biblical god changes his attitude towards infidel rulers, now that Israel no longer has an army. It shifts from killing said infidels to submitting to them in all ways. And now, on the opposite, dissidents deserve death.
