Well, there you have it, the definitive word: NATO is bombing Jesus!
Poor Jesus, he must have an aweful headache, what with all those bombs
NATO has been dropping on him.

When it comes to genocide, Milosevik is a piker compared to YHWH. In
the book of Joshua alone, the Israelites are said to have eliminated
five nations greater than them. Since the Bible numbers for Israel are
estimated at 2 to 3 million people, the conclusion would be that 10 to
15 million where annihilated, including women, children, suckling
infants, the unborn, the crippled and the elderly. And that's just in
ONE book of the Bible. Even Hitler couldn't boast that kind of
efficiency. Praise God, for he is truly merciful!

I wonder how one can justify being a CO when his god commanded so many
wars and so much destruction? No need to answer, it was a rhetorical
question.

And I heard the voice of Linus Thorvalds saying,
Thou shalt go unto Pharaoh Bill Gates,
And lifting up thy middle finger at him,
Thou shalt say unto him "LET MY PEOPLE GO!"
