Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.

Sounds like what a 2nd-grader would say after someone made fun of their shoes or something.
Just a whiny little-kid fantasizing about retribution. “You better stop making fun of me, or I’ll get my big brother to beat you up, he’s in the Army.”
Whaa.
Sounds like puddibigot’s wet dream of his ‘god’ returning in “clouds of glory” to smite the people he hates – who his ‘god’ just happens to hate as well.
Sound like the guy who wrote that little story was into ‘shrooms!
And the story specifies that they’re female bears. It sounds like he wants mommy to go beat them up.
Yawn. Just some bears playing “knockout.” Call animal control.
So, if you are a twink, you shouldn’t mock the old guy because the bears will get you? Is that what this is about?

Bigotry against fat old folks ain’t nothing new!
If I were not God, I might mouth a curse on those who tell stories about me like this. I might say “DAMNIT” to all those who are prating to me today for a victory by the Seahawks.
But, then, I am Me and responding to your prayers to hurt others is not My thing.
@1 The entire Book of Revelation is basically the same thing. John the “Divine” was dealing with Nero having used quite a number of his fellow Christians as garden torches by spinning a fantasy about Rome’s spectacular destruction.
Yeh ..
I knew John in a real way. Poor guy was afraid Romans would figure out satire an allegory.
Good thing the Greeks did not care.
Bulgagov got away with the same thing on the same scene with his Master and Margarita spoof of Jesus watching over Stalin’s Moscow.
