Chris,

Yes, I am afraid of your God, because indeed I did gather sticks for a fire.

"And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

15:33
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

15:34
And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

15:35
And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

15:36
And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses."

(Can you imagine the premeditated scheming of the man gathering sticks? Do you think his effrontery was deliberate, or was he unworthy by virtue of being so obtuse? Anyhow, just desserts--THE BASTARD.)
