Zephaniah 1:2
I, the Lord, now promise to destroy everything on this earth.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
So, God is a Republican who will say anything to get himself elected. No wonder Cruz and Trumpf are so popular.
Good to know.
I think he meant to say he will destroy all the Chipotles on this earth.
Except rabbits and lettuce, of course. There always are exceptions.
Surprising candor from the chief hustler of Jeb!’s Right to Rise grift complaining about Trump ruining the game:
“I can be shameless. I have a long career at this. But when everything is a short con, then there’s never another short con. Because you need trust, and you’ve destroyed it.”
Conservatism: it’s all about the grift.
I wonder why some biblical names are popular through the ages, like Luke and Paul, but no one ever went to school with a kid called Zephaniah?
@5 Anyone biblically obsessed enough to name a kid Zephania is a homeschooler. Wouldn’t want little Zeph to find out that Math wasn’t brought to us by Jesus. By the time Zeph is an adult they’re saying it’s Zephyr and their parents were minor celebrities and at least “I’m not North or Dweezle.”
@4 Sorry RR read the next verse and it says I will consume man and beast. Actually it doesn’t say Earth so it maybe a local consumption in the area of Judah and Jerusalem.
The Lord must love the Fallout series.
@6 Actually it’s a pretty common name in certain area of Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Areas where folks drive horse and buggies on the state highways. And also among others who like to wear plain cloths.
And some folks who follow the Torah and the books of the prophets sometimes like these names as middle names.
@9
So during rumspringa the home schooled say, “My parents loved High School Musical so they named me after Zac Effron. That’s how I got the ridiculous name Zef. I feel really bad for my sister Vadgens.”
@7,
WTF are you talking about and what does it have to do with @4?
@11 Well you could pick up the King James version or look it up on the internet and read the next verse. I was reading from a King James version so you may find using the same version of the Bible helpful.
I do find that quoting one verse out of the context sometimes unhelpful. In fact the King James version of the passage changes the meaning to a degree. Reading the passage in context though rabbits and lettuce are certainly not safe. Unless this god only has it for a limited area of the world, which would appear to the case,
If there were other speeches in Jerusalem in front of the bankers, cart builders, and chariot builders lobby I want the contents of those speeches released Zepheniah. I’m not cool with this Zehwah has concealed business Zeph. Secrets can turn hearts against the lord.
@12,
are you some kind of bot?

To which you replied:

Et cetera. Persistent behavior of this kind is indicative that the poster is not a living human being, but rather more likely some kind of automated script. Would that perhaps describe you?
re 13: It is the will of Landru.
Are you not of the body?
@13 Guess I’m alive as I managed to type @4 when I should have typed @3. A bot would not make that mistake. Which explains why you went WTF. As you were not talking about rabbits and lettuce, but rather something about George Bush that didn’t seem to have any relationship that I meant to not comment on at all, with the Sunday’s bible verse. I think my oops was obvious to everyone but myself. Hey why go with the obvious that I had done a typo and attack my existence.
In the words of Bender: “Kill all humans!” (He probably includes rabbits.)
@14 You have been to Beta III?
“I, the Lord, now promise to destroy everything on this earth.”
I think He was probably upset, and exaggerating for effect. In those days, when God said stuff like that people freaked out, and ran around, probably looked like crazy ants from His perspective. Maybe He got a kick out of that.
Anyway, everything is still here. I think. At least for now. Maybe it has all been destroyed already and I just don’t know about it, because nobody ever tells me anything.
Wait a minute! Somebody told me once that if it doesn’t say “Thus saith the Lord” at the end it doesn’t count. That’s why everything is still here, I think.
