then it's only logical to rob the local merchants, and burn the village down.

While David was slaying Goliath, were his friends robbing the local merchants and burning down the village ?

Old Testament. Go and kill...was a very common demand. You might check out Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and then on the Numbers.

And I'll bet that if someone had parted the Baltimore streets and allowed the captives to go to a Promised Land, they'd be off and running...away, that is.

http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/ot_list.html (this goes through Malachi)

1157 Old Testament admonitions to kill that occupy a place of honor in many, many homes, preached about on Sunday and streamed into the Television... and we wonder about violence?

Then there was the New Testament...with the Beatitudes and the Golden Rule. You know, Do unto others as they do unto you. How's that been working for us?

When rev Al Sharpton turn water to wine, and feeds the masses with a fish, I'll buy a copy of your fairytale.
You believe all the stories in the manual ? or just the ones that suit your present needs ?

"Do unto others as they do unto you" You applied THAT ? what exactly did the firemen DO ? what exactly did the church project DO ? What did the local stores DO ?

Here is a good revised version you seem to believe in, "When someone does wrong unto you, fuck it, burn down the neighborhood stores and homes, loot the local stores and do violent shit unto all random others,.... and claim frustration made you do it" Amen.

no cue missed on my part, but you might want to take just a minute longer next time.

I was making fun of "Rev" Al Sharpton, and the corelation to bible stories,.... to the poster I was responding to.
Some people are too anxious, don't you think ? ...... they forget to read the whole story, and end up looking foolish.

And his theatrics are not even entertaining anymore. At least back when he wore velvet suits he had a style.

first born killed, kill your neighbor if he works on Sunday, and the dead white guy who was born in his thirties will come back from the dead someday to save all believers ? That history ?

I would like to read up on the salted earth you refer to. Where exactly are you referring to ? Please don't tell me Carthage is your example.
