"God listened carefully to their complaints, weighed their points, then made the earth eat them alive. The text does not make it clear whether or not the earth made that "OM NOM NOM" sound, so scholars are forced to speculate.
This really puts things in perspective for the anti-religion critics. They can complain all they want about religious "intolerance" and pushy evangelicals trying to censor TV and annoy people into conversion. But, that's a hell of an improvement over the situation during the Exodus, when God would feed nonbelievers to the mighty Sarlacc."

I LOVE that scene. As theology goes, it’s almost as good as “Unforgiven.”
My favorite movie.
Me? I've got tears of laughter running down my face! I'm reading this at work and everyone's asking me what's so funny?
Curious “Unforgiven”?
And pulp fiction though not in Scripture, did seem to catch some of the ideas in Ezekiel, meaning the Lord was tired of it and meant to clean house and YOU WILL KNOW THAT MY NAME IS THE LORD....
"Deserves got nothing to do with it."
The epilogue which told us William Muny retired with his children and lived to a ripe old age after opening a dry cleaning business is poetry.
None of us knows another's heart, and "we all got it coming."

I should of specified that I was referring to Bender Rodriguez's cousin, Lawrence Bender. ;-)
“Hey, Pat. This is God. I want you to run for president! Oh, and I want you to go out and check your tire pressure!”
Thanks. I had the pleasure of seeing Sam live shortly before he left us. I was accompanied by my parents no less.

Thos should give all of us pause:
Ezekiel 9:4-7, "And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. with the destruction of the rest And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men (the Elders) which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city."
I find it hard to take your otherwise well written post seriously (given the content and message) when I consider you didn’t even give basic literature etiquet to the Bible and capitalize the first letter.
I think showing Moses killing a guard wasn’t something to mourn, b/c the story goes on to show that God can still work with a man *even a murderer* to accomplish His Will.
“Would anyone honestly take this article to their Bible school class?”
The short answer? “Yes”
But that’s because I like my Faith with a little scrutiny.
Keeps me honest.
