Deuteronomy 28:22
The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

Nowadays the Lord — or, more accurately, crazy people who think they hear God’s voice inside their heads — are smiting people with bullets. For example, the approximately 60 people who were shot in an Orlando, Florida gay nightclub last night by a lone gunman who was killed by police.

I’d rather take a bullet than live as a slave to ignorance.

@ 2
I would miss you, Duncie. And you’re more ignorant than you choose to think, so leave the Kevlar outfit in the closet. You’re gonna be just fine.

One of the best chapters in the Bible. Moses lays it out plainly. Well for HA DUMMOCRETINS plain still is not understood!

@4 Ah yes, Poodebutt admires a God who smites with consumption, swords, and mildew — does that cover the gamut of divine tortures? — and finds other ways to inflict hell upon earth. After all, living on a peaceful planet would be sooo fucking borrring!!! As for me, I prefer to smite mine enemies with lawsuits, which are far more profitable. Especially the class actions.

@4 So what of virgin priestess Rhea Silvea of Alba Longa who bore Romulas and Remus? Did god rape her? Did your god prevent the God Mars from raping her. Seems virgin births are not that miraculous.
Moses certainly did not do a particularly good job with Deuteronomy 28:22 seems a lot of other humans writing for their chosen god has said similar non sense. Nor did Moses write any of the first five books. Only the true prophet Mohammed who wrote the Koran can it be said he wrote the book. Ok maybe there were the gold plates and just maybe Joseph Smith. So you aren’t following them why not? Need to borrow some special glasses?
Mark Adams spews:
@1 Are you saying Joan of Arc was crazy? Or Constantine? Or the Buddha? Or even Mohammed? Joseph Smith? All these heard voices at some point. I can’t say any of them are crazy and they all worked upon their convictions. Seems taking your statement too far is well socially problematic, impolite, and culturally imperious.
Then again perhaps you are trying to wave your little cottontail in our faces. And them long ears. Remember one of your kin kept telling Bear to throw him in that thar Briar patch. Bear finally threw him in, Darn fool bear. He went hungry that night and well you rabbits are tricksters. I don’t think all attorneys think of their animal spirit as a rabbit many think they are a lion, hawk, jaguar or noble porcupine ready to do noble battle in the court room for their client.

The Greatest had a fine send off. He will be missed.
