From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. “Go up baldhead,” they shouted, “go up baldhead!” The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24

Let he without sin cast the first stone. Let he without conscience say “they deserved it”. Let he without a heart get a new one, and contaminate it too.
Those that say the bible promotes kindness must not have read it. To wit:
“Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. Ezekiel 9:5-7
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18)
It goes on and on, old and new books alike. The Koran has nothing on these works of “kindness.”

I’ll see your bible quote and raise it:

Twenty years ago, Republicans impeached Clinton for receiving oral sex in the White House. Now they openly embrace rectal feeding.
Who says Republicans aren’t capable of growth?

I’m glad Bush didn’t die in office too. Cheney is evil to the bone.
