The All-Loving God: Consequences of Disobedience (Deuteronomy 28:15-68)

According to the Bible, the following will happen if you disobey God. So far I personally have not needed to eat any babies, but I can't speak for all atheists. Some claim that this god is all-loving, but I think that he is one of the most hate-filled characters to appear in any fictional work—his evil is a masterpiece.

If the people that created this character truly believed that he was to be a being of love and intelligence, then those people most have taken one too many of those "spiritual mushrooms" or snorted too much of that "holy powder", because those numskulls were surly not playing with a full deck of cards when they wrote this fear-mongering nonsense. Anyways, enjoy!..


But if you disobey the LORD your God and do not faithfully keep all his commands and laws that I am giving you today, all these evil things will happen to you:

The LORD will curse your towns and your fields.

The LORD will curse your grain crops and the food you prepare from them.

The LORD will curse you by giving you only a few children, poor crops, and few cattle and sheep.

"The LORD will curse everything you do.

If you do evil and reject the LORD, he will bring on you disaster, confusion, and trouble in everything you do, until you are quickly and completely destroyed.

He will send disease after disease on you until there is not one of you left in the land that you are about to occupy.

The LORD will strike you with infectious diseases, with swelling and fever; he will send drought and scorching winds to destroy your crops. These disasters will be with you until you die.

No rain will fall, and your ground will become as hard as iron.

Instead of rain, the LORD will send down duststorms and sandstorms until you are destroyed.

"The LORD will give your enemies victory over you. You will attack them from one direction, but you will run from them in all directions, and all the people on earth will be terrified when they see what happens to you.

When you die, birds and wild animals will come and eat your bodies, and there will be no one to scare them off.

The LORD will send boils on you, as he did on the Egyptians. He will make your bodies break out with sores. You will be covered with scabs, and you will itch, but there will be no cure.

The LORD will make you lose your mind; he will strike you with blindness and confusion.

You will grope about in broad daylight like someone blind, and you will not be able to find your way. You will not prosper in anything you do. You will be constantly oppressed and robbed, and there will be no one to help you.

You will be engaged to a young woman---but someone else will marry her. You will build a house---but never live in it. You will plant a vineyard---but never eat its grapes.

Your cattle will be butchered before your very eyes, but you will not eat any of the meat. Your donkeys will be dragged away while you look on, and they will not be given back to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and there will be no one to help you.

Your sons and daughters will be given as slaves to foreigners while you look on. Every day you will strain your eyes, looking in vain for your children to return.

A foreign nation will take all the crops that you have worked so hard to grow, while you receive nothing but constant oppression and harsh treatment.

Your sufferings will make you lose your mind.

The LORD will cover your legs with incurable, painful sores; boils will cover you from head to foot.

The LORD will take you and your king away to a foreign land, where neither you nor your ancestors ever lived before; there you will serve gods made of wood and stone.

In the countries to which the LORD will scatter you, the people will be shocked at what has happened to you; they will make fun of you and ridicule you.

"You will plant plenty of seed, but reap only a small harvest, because the locusts will eat your crops.

You will plant vineyards and take care of them, but you will not gather their grapes or drink wine from them, because worms will eat the vines.

Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not have any olive oil, because the olives will drop off.

You will have sons and daughters, but you will lose them, because they will be taken away as prisoners of war.

All your trees and crops will be devoured by insects.

"Foreigners who live in your land will gain more and more power, while you gradually lose yours.

They will have money to lend you, but you will have none to lend them. In the end they will be your rulers.

All these disasters will come on you, and they will be with you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the LORD your God and keep all the laws that he gave you.

They will be the evidence of God's judgment on you and your descendants forever.

The LORD blessed you in every way, but you would not serve him with glad and joyful hearts.

So then, you will serve the enemies that the LORD is going to send against you. You will be hungry, thirsty, and naked---in need of everything. The LORD will oppress you harshly until you are destroyed.

The LORD will bring against you a nation from the ends of the earth, a nation whose language you do not know. They will swoop down on you like an eagle.

They will be ruthless and show no mercy to anyone, young or old.

They will eat your livestock and your crops, and you will starve to death. They will not leave you any grain, wine, olive oil, cattle, or sheep; and you will die.

They will attack every town in the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and the high, fortified walls in which you trust will fall.

"When your enemies are besieging your towns, you will become so desperate for food that you will even eat the children that the LORD your God has given you.

Even the most refined man of noble birth will become so desperate during the siege that he will eat some of his own children because he has no other food. He will not even give any to his brother or to the wife he loves or to any of his children who are left.


Even the most refined woman of noble birth, so rich that she has never had to walk anywhere, will behave in the same way. When the enemy besieges her town, she will become so desperate for food that she will secretly eat her newborn child and the afterbirth as well. She will not share them with the husband she loves or with any of her children.


If you do not obey faithfully all of God's teachings that are written in this book and if you do not honor the wonderful and awesome name of the LORD your God,

he will send on you and on your descendants incurable diseases and horrible epidemics that can never be stopped.

He will bring on you once again all the dreadful diseases you experienced in Egypt, and you will never recover.

He will also send all kinds of diseases and epidemics that are not mentioned in this book of God's laws and teachings, and you will be destroyed.

Although you become as numerous as the stars in the sky, only a few of you will survive, because you did not obey the LORD your God.

Just as the LORD took delight in making you prosper and in making you increase in number, so he will take delight in destroying you and in bringing ruin on you. You will be uprooted from the land that you are about to occupy.

"The LORD will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will serve gods made of wood and stone, gods that neither you nor your ancestors have ever worshiped before.

You will find no peace anywhere, no place to call your own; the LORD will overwhelm you with anxiety, hopelessness, and despair.

Your life will always be in danger. Day and night you will be filled with terror, and you will live in constant fear of death.

Your hearts will pound with fear at everything you see. Every morning you will wish for evening; every evening you will wish for morning.

The LORD will send you back to Egypt in ships, even though he said that you would never have to go there again. There you will try to sell yourselves to your enemies as slaves, but no one will want to buy you."

Spending an eternity in heaven with God would be hell.

Disturbing Bible Quotes 3

Don't Spare the Children: 1 Samuel 15:1-9

Here is another lovely verse found in the Good Book.

      Samuel said to Saul, "I am the one whom the Lord sent to anoint you king of his people Israel. Now listen to what the Lord Almighty says. He is going to punish the people of Amalek because their ancestors opposed the Israelites when they were coming from Egypt. Go and attack the Amaleks and compelety destroy everything they have. Don't leave a thing; kill all the men, women, children and babies; the cattle, sheep, camels, and donkeys."
     Saul called his forces together and inspected them at Telem: there were 200,000 soldiers from Israel and 10,000 from Judah. Then he and his men went to the city of Amalek and waited in ambush in a dry riverbed. He sent a warning to the Kenites, a people whose ancestors had been kind to the Israelites when they came from Egypt: "Go away and leave the Amalekites, so that I won't kill you along with them." So the Kenites left. 
    Saul defeated the Amalekites, fighting all the way from Havilah to Shur, east of Egypt; he captured King Agag of Amalek alive and killed all the people. But Saul and his men spared Agag's life and did not kill the best sheep and cattle, the best calves and lambs, or anything else that was good; they destroyed only what was useless or worthless. -1 Samuel 15:1-9 GNB


Apparently human life is worthless/useless (using religion to support a pro-life position is hypocritical). Faith is what allows a person to read this and not feel disgusted. I personally don't get it, but they say faith is a good thing to have.

Should we have faith in the morality of desert-barbarians who loved to kill babies in their spare time?

The foundation of the New Testament is the Old Testament, regardless of what any Christian claims; it is the "word of God" according to Jesus. Getting morality from the Bible is no worse than getting it from Hitler; both support genocide, but only one is infamous for it—what a bunch of hypocrisy.

Cat Poo Parasite = Explanation for Cultural Trends?





This parasite is supposedly intended to attack the brain of a mouse destroying their innate fear of cats. This crazy parasite actually makes mice sexually attracted to cat urine—insane, right? well, it gets crazier. This parasite can infect humans and do similar things as it does to mice. I was reading this other article on this parasite the other day, anyone reading this should definitely check it out (click me). According to that article this parasite effects 'half of the people on the planet'. It appears to reduce intelligence levels and makes a person more outgoing and happy, along with reducing judgment and fear of certain things. The guy in the video here says that it is harmful to the parasite to kill judgment in humans. I however think that there may be more to it than that; perhaps people with reduced judgment coupled by the increased levels of dopamine will become more likely to take in several cats (what is beneficial for cats is beneficial for the parasite). I don't believe that it was addressed in the video, but I wonder if this parasite makes humans sexually attracted to cat urine—again, this would make them literally love cats even more.

If a large portion of the population has this parasite, and it has that great of an impact on personality etc., then we may have an explanation to account for some of the high rates of mental illness and general strangeness of the cultural trends. I wonder how many hippies have this parasite? Is there a higher rate of this parasite among either major political party in the United States? I am going to refer to this cat shit parasite as 'douchebag's disease'. Let's pray to God they find a cure.

The All-Loving God: Murderous Snakes

It is often said that God is all-loving. Here is a verse that shows how loving he is towards people that are suffering in the desert...


The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road that leads to the Gulf of Aqaba, in order to go around the territory of Edom. But on the way the people lost their patience and spoke against God and Moses. They complained, "Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? We can't stand any more of this miserable food!" Then the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the people, and many Israelites were bitten and died. The people came to Moses and said, "We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Now pray to the Lord to take these snakes away." So Moses prayed for the people. Then the Lord told Moses to make a metal snake and put it on a pole, so that anyone who was bitten could look at it and be healed. So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a pole. Anyone who had been bitten would look at the bronze snake and be healed. -Numbers 21:4 GNB

Doesn't God sound like a real nice guy? He takes some of the few people that actually believe in him during the time, and tortures them by having them travel through a desert. This guy is suppose to be all powerful, he could have given them some ATVs with endless gas; or maybe he could have instantly teleported them to the promise land; hell, at the very least he could have given them some bottled water and granola bars. He could have done it in the blink of an eye (being that he is all powerful) without breaking a sweat—instead he forces them to travel through the desert, and if they complain, HE WILL SEND FUCKING SNAKES TO KILL THEM.

Either way, it's a good thing Samuel L. Jackson wasn't there—he probably would have brought on the apocalypse.



God is like a drunken redneck in a bar—if you piss him off, you better hope he has one of his friends nearby to talk some sense into him. It's pretty funny how this god always loses his cool and needs to be talked into doing the right thing (which is not killing people with snakes because they are vocal about their dislike starvation and dehydration).

Islam vs. Secularism

Here is another video which gets into South Park's depiction of Muhammad. I just can't get over how arrogant these people are. The problem is that, as a whole, the Muslim world is not as evolved as it should be. Muslims need us to criticize their goofy religion if they want to avoid their own destruction. Criticism will instill them with humility—which is exactly what they need if they wish live in a modern world (you can't threaten to kill everyone you disagree with).




Most other religions have been put into their place throughout history. Being that Islam is next in line to be put into its place by the secular world, it's really up to them for how painful they want it to be. Secularism put the Catholic church into its place a little over 200 years ago. The power of secularism is much greater now than it was in the past (more people willing to fight for it, including many moderate Muslims). There is a line that religion cannot cross in modern society. The majority of religions in the world have learned where that line is—some learned the hard way, some learned from history. The nonsecular Muslims are like a kid that daydreams and shoots spit-balls during history class, not learning a damn thing. When he gets his grades back he blames the teacher—what a little bitch. 

So for you nonsecular Muslims, I suppose it is time for you to pick your poison, because you're not match for the secular world.
