  Psalm 105: God’s Law: Do as I say or die. 

  Psalms Part 105 of 150

  ¹ Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!

  Make his doings known among the peoples.

  That would be a short speech.

  ² Sing to him, sing praises to him!

  Tell of all his marvelous works.

  What are you going to do for the other 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds of the day?

  ³ Glory in his holy name.

  Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

  Yeah, why not.  Seek solace in your silliness.

  ⁴ Seek Yahweh and his strength.

  Seek his face forever more.

  If you have to see forever, it just means you aren’t finding him.

  ⁵ Remember his marvelous works that he has done;

  his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

  ⁶ you seed of Abraham, his servant,

  you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

  Yes you, the ones he has punished, tortured and murdered for millenia. He’s talking about you.

  ⁷ He is Yahweh, our God.

  His judgments are in all the earth.

  They is probably a denser concentration around garbage dumps, sewage treatment works and landfills.

  ⁸ He has remembered his covenant forever,

  the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

  Remembering isn’t the same as abiding by it.  WHICH he hasn’t done.

  ⁹ the covenant which he made with Abraham,

  his oath to Isaac,

  ¹⁰ and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute;

  to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

  ¹¹ saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,

  the lot of your inheritance”;

  And did they keep it?  Nooooo, they didn’t.

  ¹² when they were but a few men in number,

  yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

  Exactly. They were foreigners. It wasn’t their land it shouldn’t have been stolen from those who owned it.

  ¹³ They went about from nation to nation,

  from one kingdom to another people.

  ¹⁴ He allowed no one to do them wrong.

  Bullshit. Read the damn book.

  Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

  ¹⁵ “Don’t touch my anointed ones!

  Do my prophets no harm!”

  Read the book!

  ¹⁶ He called for a famine on the land.

  He destroyed the food supplies.

  ¹⁷ He sent a man before them.

  Joseph was sold for a slave.

  Sold for a slave.  One of his own people.

  ¹⁸ They bruised his feet with shackles.

  His neck was locked in irons,

  ¹⁹ until the time that his word happened,

  and Yahweh’s word proved him true.

  Why didn’t Yahweh look after him in the beginning so he wasn’t mistreated?  Because God isn’t real.  This crap, if it even happened, is all to do with man and his stupidity of following mythical deities.

  ²⁰ The king sent and freed him;

  even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

  ²¹ He made him lord of his house,

  and ruler of all of his possessions;

  ²² to discipline his princes at his pleasure,

  and to teach his elders wisdom.

  ²³ Israel also came into Egypt.

  Jacob lived in the land of Ham.

  Pork! Sorry, couldn’t help myself. 

  ²⁴ He increased his people greatly,

  and made them stronger than their adversaries.

  Why would he do that?  He could have just made them disappear so their would have been no need for war.  He could have made them move on somewhere else before his sheeple arrived.

  ²⁵ He turned their heart to hate his people,

  to conspire against his servants.

  ²⁶ He sent Moses, his servant,

  and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

  ²⁷ They performed miracles among them,

  and wonders in the land of Ham.

  Pork.  Again, I’m sorry, but I just have to.

  ²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark.

  Darkness isn’t sent.  Light is removed.

  They didn’t rebel against his words.

  Read the following carefully and think for yourself.  Would a really compassionate god, one filled with loving kindness, do these things?  Be honest with yourself about this.

  ²⁹ He turned their waters into blood,

  and killed their fish.

  ³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs,

  even in the rooms of their kings.

  ³¹ He spoke, and swarms of flies came,

  and lice in all their borders.

  ³² He gave them hail for rain,

  with lightning in their land.

  ³³ He struck their vines and also their fig trees,

  and shattered the trees of their country.

  ³⁴ He spoke, and the locusts came,

  and the grasshoppers, without number,

  ³⁵ ate up every plant in their land;

  and ate up the fruit of their ground.

  ³⁶ He struck also all the firstborn in their land,

  the first fruits of all their manhood.

  ³⁷ He brought them out with silver and gold.

  There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

  Yeah, because he killed the rest.

  ³⁸ Egypt was glad when they departed,

  for the fear of them had fallen on them.

  They could have left earlier if Gawd had let them.  Not so many would have had to die then.

  ³⁹ He spread a cloud for a covering,

  fire to give light in the night.

  ⁴⁰ They asked, and he brought quails,

  and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

  Bread of the sky?  Loaves falling out of the sky?

  ⁴¹ He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.

  Water filled rocks?  Why not just have a river or a lake every so often on their travels?  Why make it a desert?

  They ran as a river in the dry places.

  ⁴² For he remembered his holy word,

  and Abraham, his servant.

  ⁴³ He brought his people out with joy,

  his chosen with singing.

  Except the dead ones.  They didn’t sing.  They weren’t joyous.

  ⁴⁴ He gave them the lands of the nations.

  They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

  ⁴⁵ that they might keep his statutes,

  and observe his laws.

  Praise Yah!

  God’s Law:  Do as I say or die.

  Psalm 38: Welfare of others before wealth for yourself. 

  Psalms Part 38 of 150

  A Psalm by David, for a memorial.

  ¹ Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath,

  neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

  As usual, it’s about what David wants.

  ² For your arrows have pierced me,

  your hand presses hard on me.

  ³ There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation,

  neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

  Again admitting you have erred and been punished.  How long before you state how perfect you have been?

  ⁴ For my iniquities have gone over my head.

  As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

  ⁵ My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,

  because of my foolishness.

  Then why aren’t you dead?  Isn’t that what you’ve said many times that God does to sinners?

  ⁶ I am pained and bowed down greatly.

  I go mourning all day long.

  Whining is the word you should use.

  ⁷ For my waist is filled with burning.

  There is no soundness in my flesh.

  ⁸ I am faint and severely bruised.

  I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

  ⁹ Lord, all my desire is before you.

  My groaning is not hidden from you.

  ¹⁰ My heart throbs.

  My strength fails me.

  As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

  ¹¹ My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague.

  My kinsmen stand far away.

  Maybe if you stopped whining all day long they might feel you a worthy person to be around.  As it is, you’re a real bummer.

  ¹² They also who seek after my life lay snares.

  Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things,

  and meditate deceits all day long.

  ¹³ But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear.

  I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

  ¹⁴ Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear,

  in whose mouth are no reproofs.

  ¹⁵ For in you, Yahweh, do I hope.

  You will answer, Lord my God.

  Maybe as King you should just do good deeds for your people.  Rule over them in a compassionate way.  Be a father to them, not a cruel dictator like Jehovah!

  ¹⁶ For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me,

  or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

  ¹⁷ For I am ready to fall.

  My pain is continually before me.

  ¹⁸ For I will declare my iniquity.

  I will be sorry for my sin.

  ¹⁹ But my enemies are vigorous and many.

  Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

  I doubt it’s without reason.  Most will have very good reason to hate you.  You haven’t exactly looked after your people.  How many fathers have died while out serving in your army?  How many brothers have died at the hands of your enemies?  How many children are now fatherless and have nobody to provide for them because you want to use your religion to expand your holding?

  ²⁰ They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me,

  because I follow what is good.

  No, you follow what is good for you.  That is very different to following what is good.

  ²¹ Don’t forsake me, Yahweh.

  My God, don’t be far from me.

  ²² Hurry to help me,

  Lord, my salvation.

  Still it’s just about you.  When do we hear words coming from your mouth in quest of something for those you have harmed?  How about looking after their welfare instead of your own?

  When stupidity crosses the line and becomes life threatening. 

  No vaccine has ever undergone a true double-blind crossover placebo study.

  I recently read these words and thought that they couldn’t be true.  How could drugs not be tested properly?  But you see, I am not well versed in the ways of drug/vaccine testing at all.  What should one do in these circumstances?  Research.  It’s not hard these days with the internet and search engines.

  First, I know what a vaccine is.  I’ve had them myself.  So have my children and my grandchildren.  We’re all fine.  What I didn’t know was what a ‘double blind crossover placebo study’ actually meant.  Yes, I get double blind and placebo.  What I didn’t get was ‘crossover’.   From what I gather, if you had 100 people, split into two groups of 50 people each and gave one half the drug and the other half the placebo without anyone knowing what they were getting, you’d have a double blind placebo trial.  The ‘crossover’ means that halfway through the trial you would change them over so that the people getting the drug would now be getting the placebo and the others that were getting the placebo would now be getting the drug.  Neither group would know a change had taken place.

  That sounds all well and good on the surface, but we’re talking about vaccines here.  You can’t do a crossover when the effects of the drug/vaccine don’t just go away when you stop taking them.  Vaccines have long term effects.    They don’t lend themselves to this kind of test.  It just can’t be done.

  So, why would someone purposely make the statement that ‘No vaccine has ever undergone a true double-blind crossover placebo study’?  Well, for a start they are obviously anti vaccine.  Secondly, they seem to have enough of an understanding of vaccines and trials to be dangerous, but not enough to be able to educate themselves or others.

  When people put themselves out there as some kind of authority on a subject with health implications, they should at least have some kind of qualifications to back up their advice.  I have been married to and looked after a Type 1 Diabetic for 32 years now and would never pretend to be able to give advice to others with diabetes.  What is it that makes some people put themselves above properly trained and experienced medical practitioners?  Where do they get the idea that they have the right to make life and death decisions about other peoples children?

  I understand the right to free speech, but not at the cost to our children’s welfare.  When people can’t be bothered to learn the facts about a topic they purport to be an authority on they should shut their mouths.  There is no nice way to put this.  They are endangering lives.  If only one child is harmed due to the ignorance, arrogance and downright stupidity of these people then they should be held accountable.  The problem is that it isn’t only their own children now.  They are convincing other parents to do the same thing and not vaccinate their children as well.  I keep hearing about parents rights to choose for their children, but that isn’t the complete story.  If one child isn’t vaccinated they can then become infected and carry that disease to other children too young to be immunised.

  From Wikipedia: “Herd immunity (or community immunity) describes a form of immunity that occurs when the vaccination of a significant portion of a population (or herd) provides a measure of protection for individuals who have not developed immunity. Herd immunity theory proposes that, in contagious diseases that are transmitted from individual to individual, chains of infection are likely to be disrupted when large numbers of a population are immune or less susceptible to the disease. The greater the proportion of individuals who are resistant, the smaller the probability that a susceptible individual will come into contact with an infectious individual.”

  When these people do not immunise their children they directly affect the ability of the herd immunity to do it’s job.  In turn they lessen our ability to protect our children.

  So, when ignorant, uneducated (at least on the vaccine/immunisation topic) morons open their mouths and convince other people to believe their nonsense, it is putting lives at risk.  We don’t let people stand in the middle of the road giving directions to car drivers that would endanger their lives.  We don’t let people wander into schools and take the place of teachers.  We don’t let people wander into hospitals and start dispensing medical advice.

  I’m not just talking about one parent talking to another parent here.  I’m talking about people that set up legal, state sanctioned, incorporated entities.  They use this to convince people they know what they are talking about when they don’t.  They use this to help raise funds to promote their lunacy even further.

  Why are we letting these dangerous fools get away with what is nothing less than attempted manslaughter and what one day soon may actually cause a death?

  SHUT THEM DOWN!

  Church or Child? Your choice! 

  When I first read that Pope Benedict XVI said that child rape is not an ‘absolute evil’ I nearly choked.  Quite honestly, I had to look and make sure I wasn’t reading it on one of the satire news websites that I frequent when in need of a bit of unwinding.  It wasn’t though.  My next thought was to see if anyone else was reporting this story and it turns out that it was all over the internet on news websites.  He did say that.  He said it as matter of factly as you or I would say we were about to sit down.  How could this be I asked myself.  So, I’ve left it for a few days before putting fingertips to keyboard so I could think about it and not just blow of steam in a fit of rage.

  You may think that I am about to start a tirade of abuse about the Pope, but you’d be wrong.  He may deserve it, but this is not something that overly surprises me now.  When I look back at everything he has been saying over the past few years whenever the topic arises, he seems to have been leading up to this point.  Slowly but surely he has tried to water down any reaction to child abuse and the church.  So as I said, I’m not surprised by his statements.  You know what does surprise me though?  Do you know what sickens me even more?  Do you know what pisses me off so much that I could scream everytime I think about it?

  Parents.  Catholic parents.  They aren’t doing a damn thing to protect their children in the face of this outright attack on their welfare.  Why are they not collectively calling for his resignation?  For his blood?  There should not be one Christian, let alone Catholic, that isn’t raising their voices and fists in opposition to this sick bastards comments.

  There is no longer time for debate about this.  There needs to be a revolution inside the Catholic Church to bring them into line with current moral standards.  This is no longer the middle ages where we live in fear of the Inquisition if we speak out against the Church.  The time has now come to choose between being a moral human being or a Catholic. The Pope’s words have literally drawn a line in the sand and you have to move to one side or the other.

  If you have children, would you allow them to be anywhere near a person that thinks it’s alright to molest them?  A person in the Pope’s position of moral authority making these statements has the power to make a great number of his followers believe anything he says.  What is next?  How much more can you stomach before taking a stance?  Will you tell your Priest that you will no longer attend Church until this changes?  Will you be a part of the revolution that protects your children?  Your grandchildren?  Or will you be the person others look at in disgust when more children are raped?  Do you take a stand against this atrocious behaviour or are you going to stand firmly next to the Pope and offer up the children to his tender mercies?

  TAKE A STAND NOW!

  To have or not to have a future, religion is the problem! 

  There has been ongoing rhetoric from all levels of the Roman Catholic priesthood from the Pope on down over the last few years about how they are no worse than secular society.  They have said that there is just as much pedophilia outside the church as there is inside.  Well, for once I’m not going to argue with that point.  I’ll allow it to slide by in the interests of taking the argument one step further.

  What I’d like ask them is whether that argument applies to other areas in which they fall miserably short.  I know there are pedophiles, misogynists, bullies, homophobes, bigots, murderers, thieves, pimps, torturers, slavers etc. out there in society.  We hear about them nearly everyday, but what is most telling is that there are all these types within the Catholic Church itself.  How can this be true you ask?  How is easy.  Read your bible.  It allows for it.  No, it not only allows for it, it demands it.  It is as if they have gathered together the worst parts of humanity and called them ‘brother’.  This is a church of criminals of the worst kind.  Most people only hear about one or two reports and shake their heads as if it is just some kind of anomaly.  It beggars belief that so many outside the church fall for their line of being the moral compass for society when they continue to commit these crimes year after year and use excuses no ordinary person would ever dream of using in a court of law.  Catholics refuse to pull their heads out of their collective arses and see the church for what it is.

  No, I am not saying it is another mafia, or a guild of thieves, or a rape gang.  I’m saying it is all of these and more.  They have murdered, tortured, raped and thieved their way throughout history.  The megalomania is rife within this institution.  Power and wealth is what it is all about.  They want to own everything and have power over us all. Every single one of us.  When you give even the most cursory of glances over their blood soaked history you can see the evidence for yourself.

  As soon as Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire by imperial edict (315), more and more pagan temples were destroyed by Christians and pagan priests were killed. Between 315 and 6th century thousands of pagan believers were slain. Christian priests such as Mark of Arethusa or Cyril of Heliopolis were famous as “temple destroyers.”  Pagan services became punishable by death in 356.  Christian Emperor Theodosius (408-450) even had children executed, because they had been playing with remains of pagan statues.  For more read Crimes committed since the advent of the religion of peace!  It goes on and on.

  They have only been kept in check by secular society evolving out of the middle ages and taking some kind of control.  The problem is that the label ‘religion’ still carries with it some kind of inviolable immunity.  We still allow them to use the most feeble of excuses to commit some of the most horrendous of crimes.  Oh sure, we convict and jail some of them, but only after the church has recruited, trained and supported them for decades.  We cannot continue in this vein hoping that it will all go away and they will become what they purport to be.  They never were.  They aren’t and they never will be.  Why?  Because that is not what they want to be.  It never was.

  Just take a quick look at what christianity has done for Africa lately.  They are killing homosexuals.  They are accusing children of being witches and burning them to death.  Adults are being hacked to death because they don’t belong to a local church.  You think it only happened in the Middle Ages?  It’s happening now.  This very minute.

  Read a bible and see what Christianity was like two thousand years ago.  Read the link I gave you above for a short list of what has been happening up until recently.  Think back over what you know about recent history regarding the Church.  Actually think about it.  Then, just for the hell of it, ask yourself how many times during that long reign of terror, people said to themselves ‘Oh, but it is only an anomaly, it will go away!’  Has it?  No. It hasn’t and it never will if people keep thinking in this manner.

  It is about time the world at large woke up and smelled the putrefying undead corpse that is the Roman Catholic Church.  Getting at the priests one at a time will only ever allow them to continue the way they are now by ignoring us and our needs.  To stop this we need to behead the beast. And while I poke my stick at the Catholic Church, this applies to religion as a whole.  It’s time has past.  Long ago.

  Now the time has come for humanity to grow up, put away childish things and take charge of its future.  Or there might not be one.

  ²⁸ The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinim, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge, and understanding—

  Racism/bigotry.

  ²⁹ they joined with their brothers, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of Yahweh our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;

  You’ve pretty well screwed what could have been a normal life as soon as you give up your freewill to follow an evil cartoon character.

  ³⁰ and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;

  Racism/bigotry.

  ³¹ and if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

  Racism/bigotry.

  ³² Also we made ordinances for ourselves, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;

  Only caring about yourselves at the expense of others?  Not what I’d call moral.

  ³³ for the show bread, and for the continual meal offering, and for the continual burnt offering, for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

  Inhumane treatment of animals.

  ³⁴ We cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers’ houses, at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of Yahweh our God, as it is written in the law;

  ³⁵ and to bring the first fruits of our ground, and the first fruits of all fruit of all kinds of trees, year by year, to the house of Yahweh;

  ³⁶ also the firstborn of our sons, and of our livestock, as it is written in the law, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God;

  Giving your children to the priests?  That has never, ever been a good thing for the kids.  How can a parent give away a child to those bastards?

  ³⁷ and that we should bring the first fruits of our dough, and our wave offerings, and the fruit of all kinds of trees, the new wine and the oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.

  ³⁸ The priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms, into the treasure house.

  So the people go without, while the priests live it up with the best of food, wine and children to abuse?

  ³⁹ For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the wave offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, to the rooms, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests who minister, and the porters, and the singers. We will not forsake the house of our God.

  You did and you will again.  In fact, you have and still are.

  Ezra 9: Step away from the children!!! 

  Ezra Part 9 of 10

  ¹ Now when these things were done, the princes drew near to me, saying, “The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

  You didn’t expect everything to go the way you wanted it did you?  That isn’t the way the story was written.

  ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yes, the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this trespass.”

  The took ‘their daughters for themselves’ and ‘for their sons’?  Incest rears it’s ugly head again.  I know, I know. They’ll say they meant the daughters of the Israelites, but that is NOT what it says.  This damn book should be taken at it’s word and not stuffed around with.  That leaves way too much open to interpretation by priests and look where that has gotten us.  If we took it to mean exactly what it says, then we’d have tossed the whole frigging lot in the bin centuries ago.

  ³ When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.

  As we still do.  Nearly.  At least the confounded bit. 

  ⁴ Then were assembled to me everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of their trespass of the captivity; and I sat confounded until the evening offering.

  ⁵ At the evening offering I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn; and I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to Yahweh my God;

  ⁶ and I said, “My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens.

  And it happened right under your nose.  But will you be punished or will everyone?

  ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.

  So have the people.

  ⁸ Now for a little moment grace has been shown from Yahweh our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

  A nail in his ‘holy place’?  Painful to say the least.

  ⁹ For we are bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

  How do you think things got that way?  God let it happen.  He sent the other kings against you.  That is not loving-kindness!

  ¹⁰ ”Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments,

  What shall you say?  Um, how about this?

  Our father who throws darts from heaven,
  you have a really strange name.

  We are but your sheeple,
  with whom you play this game.

  Give us this day,
  some women with really big hips.

  But please, oh please,
  don’t cut off our dicks. Amen.

  ¹¹ which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land, to which you go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness.

  Whose fault is that dude?  You allowed them to do these things.  You gave them the ability.  You didn’t stop them or try to teach them the error of their ways.  You just let them sin and now you are probably going to shit on them like you always do.

  ¹² Now therefore don’t give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever; that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.’

  ¹³ ”After all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant,

  Freaking hell.  What a crawler.

  ¹⁴ shall we again break your commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? Wouldn’t you be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?

  How can you be sure?  He hasn’t stopped you up till now.  How do you know he doesn’t want you to continue?

  ¹⁵ Yahweh, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is this day. Behold, we are before you in our guiltiness; for none can stand before you because of this.”

  Then don’t stand before him.  Turn around.  Show him your backs and live you lives the way you know you should.  Just as people have been doing all along with his help or lack of it.

  2-Chronicles 36: Thou shalt not pick boogers!!! 

  2-Chronicles Part 36 of 36

  ¹ Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.

  I bet he wouldn’t have been all that happy about it.  Kings have a habit of dying before their time with God on their side.

  ² Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

  Wow, that was a short one.

  ³ The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

  And the ‘land’ dipped into it’s Piggy Bank and paid up.  Damned extortionists!

  ⁴ The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

  I bet he was tired after that.

  ⁵ Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God.

  Masturbation?  IVF?  Stem Cell research?  Attend a gay pride rally?

  ⁶ Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

  They like carrying people around.  It’s good exercise.

  ⁷ Nebuchadnezzar also carried off the vessels of the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

  He must have had big hands.

  ⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

  Is this book of the kings some kind of dossier or rap sheet containing all their criminal acts?  It sounds like it.

  ⁹ Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

  He did evil at eight years old?  Picked boogers out of his nose?  Missed the toilet?

  ¹⁰ At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

  Is Zedekiah, Nebuchadnezzar’s brother or Jehoiachin’s brother?  It doesn’t specify.

  ¹¹ Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:

  ¹² and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God; he didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Yahweh.

  God can’t look after an eight year old for more than three months, but allows a twenty one year old to carry on being ‘evil’ for eleven years?  That doesn’t sound like he has much power over anything.

  ¹³ He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

  God couldn’t overcome human stubbornness?

  ¹⁴ Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of Yahweh which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

  How did they do that?  Spit?  Fart?  Pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

  ¹⁵ Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

  God rose up early?  He has a bedtime?  Does he wear a nightcap?

   

  

  He Rose Early!

  ¹⁶ but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

  This is a tired old refrain.

  ¹⁷ Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand.

  So no man, young or old was spared.  That would mean there were no men left in Israel.

  ¹⁸ All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.

  Why did God want all this paraphernalia in the first place if he couldn’t or wouldn’t take care of it?  He’s allowed it to be looted so many times.

  ¹⁹ They burnt God’s house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it.

  And the women?

  ²⁰ He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

  Then who was left to look after the women?

  ²¹ to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

  No men for seventy years.  Even the youngest female would be past childbearing age by that time.  So no more Israel?

  ²² Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

  ²³ ”Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.’”

  Putting your heads on the chopping block is what it would be.  Wake up guys!  He’s a dick!

  2-Kings 11: It’s good to be King. Even at age 7. 

  2-Kings Part 11 of 25

  ¹ Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

  This genocidal rubbish is wearing a bit thin.  Is this the only way they know how to solve problems?
  

  ² But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain;

  First, this proves the first line to be false as Athaliah did NOT destroy all the royal seed.  Second, there’s always one that has to be saved just in the nick of time. The last one was Moses.
  

  ³ He was with her hidden in the house of Yahweh six years. Athaliah reigned over the land.

  ⁴ In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of Yahweh; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Yahweh, and showed them the king’s son.

  ⁵ He commanded them, saying, “This is the thing that you shall do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;

  ⁶ A third part shall be at the gate Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.

  ⁷ The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Yahweh around the king.

  ⁸ You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”

  ⁹ The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

  All that just to say that the priest got the guards to protect the kid.  Long winded bastards.
  

  ¹⁰ The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David’s, which were in the house of Yahweh.

  ¹¹ The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.

  ¹² Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”

  ¹³ When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:

  ¹⁴ and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, “Treason! Treason!”

  ¹⁵ Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill him who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in the house of Yahweh.”

  Death.  The one cure-all for everything biblical.
  

  ¹⁶ So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house. She was slain there.

  ¹⁷ Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that they should be Yahweh’s people; between the king also and the people.

  ¹⁸ All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the house of Yahweh.

  Death before conversion huh?
  

  ¹⁹ He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Yahweh, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings.

  ²⁰ So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword at the king’s house.

  ²¹ Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.

  I wonder what his first ten commands could have been.

  1. More toys.
  2. I’m the king. I can play when I want.
  3. I say when it’s bedtime.
  4. Pay attention to me or I’ll have a tantrum.
  5. I don’t have to count if I don’t want to.
  6. It’s mine and you can’t have it.
  7. No, I want that camel you boogerhead.
  8. You’re a stupid head and I don’t want to play with you.
  9. Ok, I’ll eat the sprouts, but I’m not touching the donkey testicles.
  10. Yahweh, Shmahweh! You’re not cutting my weiner.

  Thanks go to my friends in The Big Friendly Atheist group on facebook for these.  Thanks guys.

  2-Kings 6: Leg of son, broiled, with a nice Chianti. 

  2-Kings Part 6 of 25

  ¹ The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.

  ² Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell.”

  He answered, “Go!”

  Doesn’t mean much if we don’t know how many of them there are.
  

  ³ One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.”

  He answered, “I will go.”

  Could you imagine talking like this all the time?
  

  ⁴ So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.

  ⁵ But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.”

  ⁶ The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.

  Yeah, sure it did.  I expect the pig that was flying past was all excited about that too.
  

  ⁷ He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.

  ⁸ Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”

  Why aren’t you telling us where the camp is to be?
  

  ⁹ The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Syrians are coming down there.”

  What place?
  

  ¹⁰ The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.

  ¹¹ The heart of the king of Syria was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Won’t you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?”

  ¹² One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”

  That’s quite an accusation.
  

  ¹³ He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.”

  It was told him, saying, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”

  ¹⁴ Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.

  ¹⁵ When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”

  ¹⁶ He answered, “Don’t be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

  Greater numbers does not mean a thing and a prophet should know that.
  

  ¹⁷ Elisha prayed, and said, “Yahweh, please open his eyes, that he may see.” Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.

  ¹⁸ When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.”

  He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

  ¹⁹ Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He led them to Samaria.

  ²⁰ It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, “Yahweh, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.”

  Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

  ²¹ The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”

  ²² He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.”

  ²³ He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.

  Good outcome, but it would have been better to accomplish it all without the use of Woo.
  

  ²⁴ It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.

  ²⁵ There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.

  So how come Elisha and Yahweh can go woo woo all over the place on the Syrians earlier, but not this time? Why allow the people to suffer needlessly?
  

  ²⁶ As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”

  ²⁷ He said, “If Yahweh doesn’t help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?”

  ²⁸ The king said to her, “What ails you?”

  She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’

  ²⁹ So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden her son.”

  Now there’s some old style biblical morals for you.  Eating your own children.
  

  ³⁰ It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes (now he was passing by on the wall); and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his flesh.

  ³¹ Then he said, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay on him this day.”

  ³² But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn’t the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”

  ³³ While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”

  Probably because the Lord will smite thee if thou doesn’t behave thyself.  Moron!
