\"God<\/a>
In the Indian village of Solapur, residents mark the birth of a new child by tossing the newborn from a 50 foot Muslim shrine onto a sheet below. The bizarre tradition is over 500 years old. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

God has ordered some pretty despicable things to be done during his tenure over mankind. The destruction of entire cities, blights, plagues, multiple smitings, disease, pestilence, and genocidal floods. It’s an impressive resume by any mass murderer’s\u00c2\u00a0reckoning to be sure but there’s more! God loves to torture and kill children or gutlessly order his minions to\u00c2\u00a0torture and kill children.<\/p>\n

Every night\u00c2\u00a0on the evening news we hear about murder, rape or any number of brutal crimes being committed. \u00c2\u00a0Horrible to be sure but society does become immune. Rarely\u00c2\u00a0is the water cooler abuzz with talk of any but the most disgusting of these crimes, unless a child is involved. Our society finds, rightfully so, that crimes such as this involving children are of the most heinous nature. It’s a fact that more often than not, child predators are the first to be beaten or killed by their fellow inmates once incarcerated. Even criminals agree that these choice individuals are fair game for a rather rude introduction into\u00c2\u00a0our penal system. God help himself should he ever take up residence within the American penal system, for he would certainly be due a beating.<\/p>\n

God has always had a special place in his heart for children. I suppose that’s why he at times singles them out for his own particular brand of cruelty and barbarism. Jesus may “love the little children” but God…not so much. Here’ s some of God’s greatest hits:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the name of God, Jewish males have the grand fortune of being subjected to ritualistic genital mutilation.<\/li>\n
  2. Children who fall ill are medically neglected by those of the Jehovah’s Witness cult.<\/li>\n
  3. Children are tossed off buildings in parts of India for good luck.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These are examples of a modern day misinterpretation of God’s will by man, you say? These are not actions that God would ever have endorsed, you say? Nice try. These are actually rather “meek and mild” examples of God’s depravity. We can look to God’s divinely inspired instruction manual, the bible, for some of his most horrid and genocidal greatest hits.<\/p>\n
