The Seven Deadly Cases of Child Abuse in the Bible


I. Genesis 22:7-14

Abraham whipping out that long knife must have scared the
crap out of Isaac--that alone would have stopped the sacrifice.
Unclean, unclean--Yahweh doesn't like feces, shellfish, or nakedness.

II. Exodus 12:29

Arbitrary killing of dependent children and hapless animal
companions? Motivation, though, for the oldest boomerang
kids to set up their own households and help the economy.

III. Numbers 16:25-33

What ever happened to the humanitarian gesture of
releasing women and children? At least, no one had
to dig a mass grave--thank God.

IV. Judges 11:30-40

A good Jewish lawyer could have gotten her
off--the Abraham v. Isaac precedent.

V. II Kings 2:23-24

Elisha seemed to be off his meds. Everybody has their
own criteria for a teachable moment. Name-calling can
scar you for life--ask the forty-two little boys.

VI. II Kings 6:28-29, 33

Eating your children for lunch? Maybe that is why we call them "kids."

VII. Jerimiah 19:9

Do you think they will say Grace before eating their children?

Read the word of God, I pray you, as I have cited it for you in
the Holey Bible www.kingjamesbibleonline.org But if
you gerrymander the verses, as many of your clergy do,
you best eat the Jesus Fish Flesh with a side of honeycomb.

Let your own reading be your tutor whose end is to hold, as it were,
the mirror up to the paracosm of religion to show a scam that is as
old as the pyramids.
