terrorist atrocity kills 250

Of course there’s more. Take the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, poeticised with due disdain by that admirable scourge of your bureaucracy, Thomas Paine. These men seem to have had just and reasonable grievances, and they made them known. That, apparently, was their ‘sin’, for which your god swallowed them alive. Two hundred and fifty of their incense-burning followers were apparently blown to bits by your god disguised as a terrorist bomber, in one of the more chilling verses in your Bible, Numbers 16:35 ‘And fire came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were offering the incense.’

Again, how can you condemn the horrors currently being perpetrated upon innocents around the globe, apparently in the name of Islam, when your very own god perpetrates similar atrocities upon well-meaning, peaceable incense bearers? Please explain, George. I only wish to understand.
