I think it is intended to be a proof that Elisha was a prophet of God, due to God's willingness to protect him.

So God, in his infinate mercy and wisdom, did not peer down from the clouds and tell the people and children: "Doth not fuck with this one for he ist mine!" but rather rend some children limb from limb by bears?

Does that seem wise? merciful? Just?

In another part of the babble god made a donkey talk. So why didn't he get the bears to go over to the children and just explain what was up. Sheesh!

Some Christians will say the Bible is literally true. Others will say it's not. I am tired of so much self-contradictions. It gives me a headache.

It makes my asshole sore if I wipe too hard with it. They really need to print Bibles on softer paper.

I suppose Babble god could have just sent a skunk to piss on all of them, but then they would likely have turned into stinky little Christians like Thomas, and we wouldn't want that.

Having a bear rip up a large group of children is a very nice way of showing the virtues of a wise and benevolent god! He probably had the bear decorate all of the trees around them with colorful lights and bulbs and jingly bells as well - just to be really sweet.

I love the little piece my friend wrote about the "scapegoat": "Could anyone run into such an animal without falling down from laughing so hard?"

And....?

So, an omnipotent god has the ability to protect his prophet in any manner he chooses, yet this is the best he can do?

Seriously? To have 42 youths (of whatever age) slaughtered.

As already stated, even if this god did exist, he does not deserve to be worshiped. It is truly a great thing that such a being does not exist.

God is omnipresent and ALL-POWERFUL! Yet, He can be defeated by iron chariots. And, if He's omnipresent and ALL-POWERFUL, howcum He needs armies? e.g. The Salvation Army, and The Army of God Church.
AND, even though He is ALL-KNOWING and does everything according to HIS PLAN, He so fucked up that He had to destroy His little ant farm, save for Noah and his family and a boatload of lesser life forms, including syphilis and gonorrhoea.
You don't suppose the Holy men are lying to us.....
