Why is the Old Testament so crazy? – Part Two →
In answer to biblical genocides, bloodbaths, and God’s vengeful wrath. Part One is here.
The God of the Old Testament is a relentless war-monger, we’re told, evidenced by God making the earth swallow a bunch of people with different opinions, feeding the hungry poisonous quails, and killing two of Aaron’s sons (Moses’ nephews) when they messed up the worship service. The mainstream...

In answer to biblical genocides, bloodbaths, and God’s vengeful wrath.
There are multiple disturbing passages in the Old Testament that many worthy men and women have tried to defend.
Deuteronomy 2:32-36, 3:3-7, 7:2-6 describe the wholesale slaughter of entire cities including women, children, and their museums. In 1 Samuel 15, Samuel is disappointed that Saul did not completely wipe out...

At the park a random elder German man fed my dog his whole bottle of water and told me his life story. He’s an ex-government agent, was an ER paramedic, has seen the Pope drunk, and lost two million dollars recently on a bad investment. Thank God for cool strangers and new friends.
His name: Mr. Z.
