Are you asking for your loving god to murder an entire Massachusetts town?

Sorry to interrupt you're little moral superiority rant there but:

Hyperbole (pron.: /haɪˈpÉœrbÉ™liː/ hy-PUR-bÉ™-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή hyperbolÄ“, "exaggeration") is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.[2

That would be a perfectly acceptable rebuttal except that most of the christians here take the bible literally and certainly take the Sodom and Gomorrah thing literally and actually DO believe in magical terrible places with lakes of fire and whatnot.

I’m am absolutely confident that the person wishing destruction upon South Hadley really does thing a magical vengeful sky king reigns death upon towns.

And by the way, this is a charter school with kids from many, many different towns. I hope god knows this when he begins his destruction.
