Evidence file: God hates Gamers

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Once again we see that Jesus has taken a firm stand against the nancyboys and fruitloops who hang around video game shops. Thank you Jesus!

Next time send hornets!

Buzz off! Bee swarm traps workers in NY game store

NEW YORK – Thousands of bees have swarmed outside a New York City game store, trapping employees inside for hours.

Worried employees looked out the window of the Manhattan store while talking on the phone as the bees clustered Saturday afternoon. A sign in the window warned: "Look! ... closed due to bee infestation."

Most passers-by avoided the GameStop store near Union Square, one of the city's busiest shopping areas. But Edward Albers tried to help. Dressed in regular clothes, he lured many bees into a box without getting stung.

Eventually, bee specialist Tony Planakis arrived in protective gear and used the scent of a queen bee to collect the rest of them.

The store has reopened for business.

The bees are being taken to hives upstate.

God sends hornets to kill refugees:


The Sting of Divine Wrath

Deuteronomy 7:12–11:25

By Peretz Rodman

Swelling over large areas of the body, abnormal breathing, tightness in the throat or chest, dizziness, hives, fainting, nausea or vomiting, persistent pain or swelling — these are among the symptoms of a reaction to the sting of a wasp or hornet. “Seek immediate attention,” medical authorities warn us, “if you are stung in the mouth or nose, as swelling may block airways.”

This, along with the horrific pain of multiple stings, is what put fear in the hearts of the Canaanites, it seems, when swarms of fierce hornets — the large wasps of the Middle East — attacked them during the Israelite conquest of their country.

... “The Lord your God will send hornets, too, against them, until those who are left and are in hiding from you perish.” That is, not only will God reprise the plagues of Egypt or perform similar miraculous acts to help the Israelites conquer Canaan (as the previous two verses imply), but God also will add a final act of extirpation, accomplished by swarms of hornets. That would culminate in a general panic among the Canaanites as they are routed and destroyed.

This tradition must have been widespread and commonly accepted. We find it twice more in the Bible. Exodus 23 parallels our chapter in many ways: It promises good health to the invading Israelites, it predicts a slow and deliberate conquest, and in verse 28 it predicts, “I will send hornets ahead of you, and they shall drive out before you the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites.” Here, too, commentators debate the sense of the word — illness, insects or resultant “panic” — but the plain sense of “hornet” prevails.

The Book of Joshua provides a third source for our tradition. The account of the conquest of Canaan in Joshua 24 includes the observation that “I sent hornets before you and they drove them out from before you….”

Second, a closer look at our verse enables us to see why hornets, rather than other wild beasts, would be the natural candidates for the task at hand. The Canaanites’ defeat has been predicted already. All that remains to be destroyed are “those who are left and are in hiding from you.” Now hornets, unlike, say, lions or bears, nest under logs, between rocks, even underground — that is, in the smallest and most recondite of hiding places.

Forgive me if this is posted in the incorrect board but i have an issue I wish to seek a bit of an opinion about a certain computer program. Some of you may be familiar with a computer game by the name of SimCity or The Sims, games in which an individual plays the role of "God" in a sense. For those unfamiliar SimCity is a game in which the player constructs a city to their design and may bring down terrible events like tornadoes, earthquakes, or floods, or create a peaceful well running utopia.

Simcity deserves a whole thread of its own. In the origional version, you could bulldoze churches with no consequences (in fact, the game encouraged it, because churches don't provide tax revenue), and one of the disasters was Godzilla, from the famous Japanese tenticle-rape movie. Also, "Gay Marriage" was not among the disasters.

Also, because simcities could be run into the year 2050+ Simcity denied the truth of the rapture coming within our lifetimes:

Re: Simulated Existence

But the store reopened and no one got hurt. Why is this a big deal?Also I play games all the time and I'm fine. I just played Grand Theft Auto 4 recently. I'm not hurting anyone, I'm just using a normal product produced by talented people to entertain myself for a little while.

By your anti-God attitude and your path to eternal damnation, that's obviously not true. You're not fine at all.

Re: Simulated Existence

That's not the point. I'm not a psychopath, I can tell the difference between pixels up on my tv and gunning down a person in real life and taking their money. I'm not gonna go jump out of a helicopter expecting to re-spawn at a hospital. And you also clearly ignored my other point: NO ONE GOT HURT. All it was was an inconvenience. Look at the church bombings in 1960's. Where was god then?

Re: Simulated Existence

Your eternal soul did, so that's not true.

False "churches" spread false gospel and you expect God to protect them?!?!
And this is a warning. Show respect and capitalize God's name or I send you to quarantine.

By your logic, looking at child porn is okay.

That's called a "warning". God does that sometimes. Other times, He skips the warning and sends bears:

2 Kings 2:23-24:

"And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them"

Look at the church bombings in 1960's. Where was god then?

On the side of State's Rights, as He has always been. Only anti-States Rights churches got bombed.

Um, no. Many of the bombed churches were baptist churches first of all. And whats that I see up there? Oh yeah, Landover BAPTIST church, huh.
And when I make painfully obvious observations, don't ignore them. And there is a difference between child pornography and video games. Games are fake. They are made with computers. They are made with Computer Generated images. Child pornography is not fake. They are made with video cameras to capture events that DID happen. Understand what your talking about before you speak.

All you have to do is look at the members of those "baptist" churches to find they are nothing like us.

And there is a difference between child pornography and video games.

Nobody here is talking about how video games and porn are made. You're trying to weazel out of the debate by changing the subject.

Games are fake. They are made with computers.

So is anime child porn - it's just lines on paper. Does that make it okay?

And if you watch 9/11 on the news, does that make you a terrorist? Should the news have to make computer images or draw pictures every time they report a crime?

Just where do you stand on this issue?

Child pornography is not fake.

I gave you a link to read. READ IT!

Iowa court rules: Japornography is worse than murder!

Understand what your talking about before you speak.

I've read: Iowa court rules: Japornography is worse than murder! Have you read Iowa court rules: Japornography is worse than murder! ? Then maybe you should not claim I'm ignorant about Iowa court rules: Japornography is worse than murder! until you've actually read Iowa court rules: Japornography is worse than murder! .

PS: Understand what you're talking about before you speak.

Re: Simulated Existence

If God didn't hate gamers so much he would have made the wait time for WoW more reasonable, and not crash so much.

[TrueTeenMocker]

Re: Simulated Existence

Alright first of all, to the guy above me, good one. It's so laggy. I love it so much though.
Anyway, YES Japanese anime porn IS legal and it's not real. Just like Video Games. Child Pornography IS real IS a crime and it IS bad. My point of showing how Child porn and video games are made was to show the difference between them. Anyway with the brain capability of a 3rd grader would understand that. That, sir, is where I stand.

You didn't read the link that Jeb sent you, did you? Maybe your third grade mind can't comprehend?

Re: Simulated Existence

Yeah I did read that. The judgment was obviously biased because as you can see "THERE WERE SEVERAL LANDOVER BAPTISTS ON THE JURY". Your point is moot because obviously it is YOUR groups opinion, so of course it was ruled that way.
