So you're saying that Moses, Joshua, and Samson were not under God's command? What a Goof, you are! Where did you get your Sunday School lessons from, Little Boy! There are 600 passages of explicit violence in the Hebrew Bible 1000 verses where God's own violent actions of punishment are described, 100 passages where God expressly commands others to kill people, and several stories where God irrationally kills or tries to kill for no apparent reason. The following list confirms Jehovah’s instructions to his people, the same God Christians have adopted and embraces as their own. They are rules that bind people together and some are no doubt necessary in an ancient barbarous culture, but certainly not all. These are primitive male dominated laws that in a more tolerant society would be laughable if they were not so real. Anyone who goes uncircumcised is to be exiled from his people (Genesis 17:14). If a man has sex with a menstruating women, both are to be exiled (Leviticus 20:18). A man who marries a mother and daughter must burn in a fire (Leviticus 20:14). If two men have sexual relations, both must be put to death (Leviticus 20:13). If a mother and son have sexual relations, both must be put to death (Leviticus 20:11). If a man and daughter-in-law have sex, both must be put to death (Leviticus 20:12). If a man has sex with an animal, both must be put to death (Leviticus 20:15). If a woman has sex with an animal, both must be put to death (Leviticus 20:16). Anyone who attacks his mother or father must be put to death (Exodus 21:15). Anyone who curses his mother or father must be put to death (Leviticus 20:9). Anyone who commits murder must be put to death (Leviticus 24:17). Anyone who commits adultery must be put to death (Deuteronomy 22:22). Anyone who commits perjury must be put to death (Deuteronomy 19:18-19). Anyone who commits kidnapping must be put to death (Exodus 21:16). Anyone who disobeys a judge or priest must be put to death (Deuteronomy 17:12). Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death (Exodus 35:2). Anyone who does not worship God must be put to death (2 Chronicles 15:13). Any strangers approaching a sanctuary must be put to death (Numbers 17:7). Any prophet who tries to turn you against God must be put to death (Deuteronomy 13:5). Any prophet who makes a wrong prediction must be put to death (Deuteronomy 18:20-22). Family members who tempt you with other gods must be put to death (Deuteronomy 13:1-5). If an ox gores someone, the ox and its owner must be stoned to death (Exodus 21:29). Anyone who claims to talk with spirits must be stoned to death (Leviticus 20:27). A stubborn and rebellious son must be stoned to death (Deuteronomy 21:18-21). Any woman who has had premarital sex must be stoned to death (Deuteronomy 22:21). Anyone who worships another god must be stoned to death (Deuteronomy 17:2-7). Anyone who curses or blasphemes must be stoned to death (Leviticus 24:14-16). Break the neck of your donkey’s firstborn or kill a lamb instead (Exodus 34:20). If a city worships other gods, kill everyone in it and burn it (Deuteronomy 13:12-16). The following list depicts the nasty things this Psychotic God is said to do. God will kill men, have their children smashed, and have their wives raped (Isaiah 13:15-16). God will punish children for the iniquities of their fathers and distant ancestors (Isaiah 14:21). God will lay waste to entire cities and make the lands desolate (Jeremiah 4:7). God will set people, animals, and even plants on fire because of his anger (Jeremiah 7:20). God will send so much evil that people would rather be dead than suffer (Jeremiah 8:3). God will give away the property of men, including their wives, to other men (Jeremiah 8:10). God will kill young men, and their children will die from a famine (Jeremiah 11:22). God will cause everyone to become drunk so father and son will kill one another (Jeremiah 13:14). God will not hear the cries of the people or acknowledge their sacrifices (Jeremiah 14:12). God will make people hungry enough to eat their own children and friends (Jeremiah 19:9). God will burn entire cities with the inhabitants still inside (Jeremiah 50:32). God will break people’s bones and knock their teeth out with stones (Lamentations 3:1-16). God will force fathers and sons to eat each other and scatter their remembrance (Ezekiel 5:10). God will be comforted by killing everyone with pestilence, plagues, and swords (Ezekiel 5:12-13). God will lay dead bodies around idols and spread their bones around the alters (Ezekiel 6:5). God will kill righteous men and forget their good deeds if they ever turn to sin (Ezekiel 18:24). God will turn daughters into whores and wives into adulterers (Hosea 4:13). God will kill children when they come out of their mothers’ wombs (Hosea 10:14). God will tear people apart and devour them like a lion (Hosea 13:8). God will kill children and unborn fetuses because their parents worship other gods (Hosea 13:16). God will sell the children of Israel into slavery in a far away land (Joel 3:8). God will kill inhabitants of entire cities if they have a corrupt government (Micah 3:9-12). God will consume every living thing from the face of the earth (Zephaniah 1:2-3). There is a picture of hysterical maniac dictating his whims to a frightful people, a certifiable celestial being instructing his own creation to do the most depraved acts. Is this really the God of love, Christians and more rigorously Jehovah’s witnesses, try to convert us into believing in? It is the one and the same God make no mistake about that, no matter how we try to interpret this Gods barbarous actions, it’s hard to reconciliate the two opposing faces of this deity.
