Re: The Sermon on the Mount

Never mind the Sermon on the Mount. The Bible contains more hatred and hate speech than you've probably encountered anywhere else in life.

Dixit Dominus? This is a God who not merely perpetrates unimaginable horrors, but revels in ever-more-horrific weapons of His genocide.

Elijah? The absolutist Man of God who brings destruction on the godless, brings down the wrath of the powerful on himself, perpetrates massacres and genocide, flees into the mountains, and is eventually elevated to heaven in a euphemistically-violent death. The perfect role model for Bin Laden (or perhaps for what Bin Laden might have been if the 9/11 planes had set off nukes).

St Paul? The classic psychopath who founded a Church in the name of a prophet who had conveniently been dead for a generation.

Samson? The hero who falls from grace but redeems himself in a final glorious act of suicide bombing?

Blessed is he that taketh the Children of the Heathen, and casts them upon the stone.
