Old Holborn's Selected Biblical Quotations

In case you decide that you can throw the "old testament, new testament" nonsense at me, here's a few from Luke.
1) God strikes Zacharias dumb for doubting the angel Gabriel's words. 1:20
2) Those who fail to bear "good fruit" will be "hewn down, and cast into the fire." 3:9
3) John the Baptist says that Christ will burn the damned "with fire unquenchable." 3:17
4) Jesus heals a naked man who was possessed by many devils by sending the devils into a herd of pigs, causing them to run off a cliff and drown in the sea. This messy, cruel, and expensive (for the owners of the pigs) treatment did not favourably impress the local residents, and Jesus was asked to leave. 8:27-37
5) Jesus says that entire cities will be violently destroyed and the inhabitants "thrust down to hell" for not "receiving" his disciples. 10:10-15
6) Jesus says that we should fear God since he has the power to kill us and then torture us forever in hell. 12:5
7) Jesus says that God is like a slave-owner who beats his slaves "with many stripes." 12:46-47
8) In the parable of the talents, Jesus says that God takes what is not rightly his, and reaps what he didn't sow. The parable ends with the words of Jesus: "bring them [those who preferred not to be ruled by him] hither, and slay them before me." 19:22-27 [reply] [Complain about this post]
How about some torture and cruelty from the New Testament?
1) We are all, according to Peter, predestined to be saved or damned. We have no say in the matter. It was all determined by "the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ."1:2
2) God drowned everyone on earth except for Noah and his family. 3:20 2:5, 3:6
3) God wants some people to suffer. 4:19 2
4) God will set the entire earth on fire so that he can burn non- believers to death. 3:7
5) When Jesus returns, he'll burn up the whole earth and everything on it. 3:10 1 John
6) God makes people evil and then condemns them to hell. 1:4
7) Jude reminds us that God destroys those who don't believe in him. 1:5 Revelation
8) Jesus "washed us ... with his own blood." 1:5
9) Jesus has "the keys of hell and death." 1:18
10) Repent -- or else Jesus will fight you with the sword that sticks out of his mouth. (Like the limbless knight in Monty Python's "Holy Grail.") 2:16
11) Jesus says he will kill the children of Jezebel. (I suppose that includes all non-christian children.) 2:23
12) God gave power to someone sitting on a red horse "to take from the earth ... that they should kill one another." 6:4
13) God gives Death and Hell the task of indiscriminately killing one quarter of the earth's human population with the sword, starvation, and "with the beasts of the earth." 6:8
14) God's favorites just can't wait until everyone else is slaughtered. 6:10-11
15) God sends his angels to destroy a third part of all the trees, grass, sea creature, mountains, sun, moon, starts, and water. Hey, that sounds like a good plan. 8:7-13
16) The angels are instructed not to "hurt the grass [how could they? He already had all the grass killed in 8:7] ... but only those men which have not the seal of God on their foreheads." God tells his angels not to kill them, but rather torment them with scorpions for five months. Those tormented will want to die, but God won't let them. You see, he is pro-life. 9:4-6
17) God makes some horse-like locusts with human heads, women's hair, lion's teeth, and scorpion's tails. They sting people and hurt them for five months. 9:7-10
18) Four angels, with an army of 200 million, killed a third of the earth's population. 9:15-19
19) Anyone that messes with God's two olive trees and two candlesticks will be burned to death by fire that comes out of the sticks and trees' mouths. 11:4-5
20) God's magic candlesticks and olive trees have special powers. They can shut up heaven so that it cannot rain (There are these little windows that open up whenever it rains.), turn rivers of water into blood (like the Egyptian magicians [Ex.7:22]), and to smite the earth with various plagues "as often as they will." 11:6
21) After the candlesticks and olive trees are done talking, burning people to death with the fire that comes out of their mouths, shutting up heaven to prevent it from raining, turning rivers into blood, and killing people with plagues whenever they get the urge, they are killed in a war started by a beast that came up out of a bottomless pit. 11:7
22) After the war between the candlesticks and olive trees on the one hand and the beast that crawled out of the pit on the other, there will be dead bodies rotting, unburied everywhere. And those that are not killed by the candlesticks, trees, or beast will "rejoice over them [the dead bodies] and make merry, and shall send gifts to one another." A good time will be had by all. 11:8-10
23) God will send an earthquake that will kill 7000 people. 11:13
24) Those who receive the mark of the beast will "drink of the wine of the wrath of God ... and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone ... and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever." 14:10-11
25) "The great winepress of the wrath of God ... was trodden ... and the blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horses bridles." 14:19
26) Seven angels with seven plagues are filled with the wrath of God. 15:1
27) The seven vials of wrath: 1) sores, 2) sea turned to blood, 3) rivers turned to blood, 4) people scorched with fire, 5) people gnaw their tongues in pain, 6) Euphrates dries up, 7) thunder, lightening, earthquake, and hail. 16:1-21
28) God gave the saints and prophets blood to drink. 16:6
30) To punish her God will send plagues and famine, and "she will be utterly burned with fire." 18:8
31) Kings have committed fornication and "lived deliciously with her." Then they see "the smoke of her burning." 18:9
32) Jesus makes war. 19:11
33) Jesus, whose clothes are dipped in blood, has a sharp sword sticking out of his mouth. Thus attired, he treads the winepress of the wrath of God. 19:13-15
34) An angel calls all the fowls to feast upon dead human bodies, or as the angel calls it "the supper of the great God." 19:17-18
35) The beast and the false prophet are cast alive into a lake of fire. The rest were killed with the sword of Jesus. "And all the fowls were filled with their flesh." 19:20-21
36) God will send fire from heaven to devour people. And the devil will be tormented "day and night for ever and ever." 20:9-10
37) Whoever isn't found listed in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. 20:15
38) All liars, as well as those who are fearful or unbelieving will be cast into "the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." 21:8
And this is the holy book of the Christian religion, that is dedicated to peace, love and compassion. But of course no-body still believes that these scriptures are true. Do they?
"He who sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed." exodus 22:20
If this commandment is obeyed, then the four billion people who do not believe in the biblical god must be killed. gotcha.
Next, the Mullahs
Kill disbelievers wherever you find them. If they attack you, then kill them. Such is the reward of disbelievers. Verese 191, book of the cow, koran.
