Really, people? You can read a passage like that and still think this character is a hero? ‘Cuz, if that’s your idea of what it means to do and be good, then you really have no place in civil society. Not just in the town, not just in the land, but everywhere on the whole planet.Īnd not just the kittens of housecats, but all the lion cubs, and the tiger cubs, and the jaguar cubs, and the bobkittens, and the…. I mean, seriously? What more does it take to demonstrate that a character is the evilest motherfucking asshole sonofabitch you can think of than to show that character drowning kittens? And this evil motherfucking asshole sonofabitch didn’t merely drown a sackful of kittens - he drowned them all. I could almost - not quite, but almost - pretend to think about forgiving YHWH for the Egyptian massacre and the rape of Midian.īut let’s not forget the Flood, in which YHWH did, of malice aforethought, drown each and every kitten on the face of the earth, without mercy nor compassion.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses even produced a cartoon about Jesus slaughtering mankind: This is none other than David Lynch’s “Cowboy” from Mulholland Drive, who we will see “once if we do good, and twice if we do bad.” And all the birds were filled with their flesh. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.Īnd the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. That you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”Īnd I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then I saw an angel standing in the sun and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.Īnd He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.
His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. … Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 407), Eight Homilies Against the Jews, Homily 1īut my favorite is Jesus’ promise to slaughter on horseback all of mankind left after His second coming:
This is why Christ said: “But as for these my enemies, who did not want me to be king over them, bring them here and slay them.” (Luke 19:27) And this is what happened to the Jews: while they were making themselves unfit for work, they grew fit for slaughter. Another prophet hinted at this when he said: “Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer.” … Although such beasts are unfit for work, they are fit for killing. He Jewish people were driven by their drunkenness and plumpness to the ultimate evil they kicked about, they failed to accept the yoke of Christ, nor did they pull the plow of his teaching. Saint John Chrysostom explained the meaning of Jesus’ words 300 years later:
Let’s not forget Jesus’ New Testament invocations to slaughter by Him an for Him:īut those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them-bring them here and kill them in front of me.
