    You missed a few:
    The duty of killing stubborn, rebellious and and drunken children:
    Deuteronomy 21:18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
    19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
    20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
    21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

    True Christian™ parents are also commanded to hate their children, and get the satisfaction of knowing that their children, if disciplined properly, should grow up to hate them back, as Jesus commanded:
    Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

    Now, a quick question: what will God make unsaved parents do?
    O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



    God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

      For starters, burn in Hell. After that, I'm not too sure. Will you tell me?

        Leviticus 26:21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
        22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
        23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
        24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
        25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
        26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
        27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
        28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
        29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
        30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
        31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

            God will still cause the parents to try and eat them.
            Either the children will compassionately send their parents to their eternal damnation, since they have rejected God and now follow false gods.. (ie satan)
            Because basically, they are now legit targets in the eyes of God. (Deuteronomy 13:6-9 & 2 Chronicles 15:13)
            That they are their parents doesn't really matter, remember Jesus words, friend:

            Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
            For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother,
            And the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
            Matthew 10:34-36

            If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters,
            Yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
            Luke 14:26

            But if God does allow the parents to eat their children, do not worry.
            The children will gain Paradise by it. One shall not mourn when the righteous die, one should rejoice for their sake!
            In His infinite love, The Lord love to see His true followers killed:

            Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
            Psalm 116:15

            One should not try to deny the Lord what is precious to Him.

            If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: But if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
            A foolish woman is clamorous: She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
            Proverbs 9:12-13
