And thou shalt consume all the people which

shall have no pity upon them. - Dt.7:16
Hell stands as a constant reminder of the
essence of Christianity: God is to be obeyed
because, in the final analysis, he is bigger and
stronger than we are. And in addition, he is
incomparably more vicious. -- George Smith,
Atheism: The Case Against God
Matthew
1. Those who bear bad fruit will be cut down
and burned "with unquenchable fire."
3:10, 12
2. Jesus strongly approves of the law and
the prophets. He hasn't the slightest
objection to the cruelties of the Old
Testament. 5:17
3. Jesus recommends that to avoid sin we
cut off our hands and pluck out our eyes.
This advice is given immediately after he
says that anyone who looks with lust at
any women commits adultery. 5:29-30
4. Jesus says that most people will go to
hell. 7:13-14
5. Those who fail to bear "good fruit" will be
"hewn down, and cast into the fire." 7:19
6. "The children of the kingdom [the Jews]
shall be cast out into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." 8:12
7. Jesus tells a man who had just lost his
father: "Let the dead bury the dead." 8:21
8. Jesus sends some devils into a herd of
pigs, causing them to run off a cliff and
drown in the waters below. 8:32
9. Cities that neither "receive" the disciples
nor "hear" their words will be destroyed
by God. It will be worse for them than for
Sodom and Gomorrah. And you know
what God supposedly did to those poor
folks (see Gen 19:24). 10:14-15
10. Families will be torn apart because of
Jesus (this is one of the few "prophecies"
in the Bible that has actually come true).
 "Brother shall deliver up the brother to
death, and the father the child: and the
children shall rise up against their
parents, and cause them to be put to
death." 10:21
11. Jesus says that we should fear God who
is willing and "able to destroy both soul
and body in hell." 10:28
12. Jesus says that he has come to destroy
families by making family members hate
each other. He has "come not to send
peace, but a sword." 10:34-36
13. Jesus condemns entire cities to dreadful
Get the SAB on CD deaths and to the eternal torment of hell
because they didn't care for his
preaching. 11:20-24
14. Jesus will send his angels to gather up
"all that offend" and they "shall cast them
into a furnace of fire: there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth." 13:41-42,
50
15. Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for not
washing his hands before eating. He
defends himself by attacking them for not
killing disobedient children according to
the commandment: "He that curseth
father or mother, let him die the death."
(See Ex 21:15, Lev 20:9, Dt 21:18-21) So,
does Jesus think that children who curse
their parents should be killed? It sure
sounds like it. 15:4-7
16. "Every plant, which my heavenly Father
hath not planted, shall be rooted up."
15:13
17. Jesus advises his followers to mutilate
themselves by cutting off their hands and
plucking out their eyes. He says it's better
to be "maimed" than to suffer "everlasting
fire." 18:8-9
18. In the parable of the unforgiving servant,
the king threatens to enslave a man and
his entire family to pay for a debt. This
practice, which was common at the time,
seems not to have bothered Jesus very
much. The parable ends with this: "So
likewise shall my heavenly Father do also
unto you." If you are cruel to others, God
will be cruel to you. 18:23-35
19. "And his lord was wroth, and delivered
him to the tormentors." 18:34
20. God is like a rich man who owns a
vineyard and rents it to poor farmers.
When he sends servants to collect the
rent, the tenants beat or kill them. So he
 sent his son to collect the rent, and they
kill him too. Then the owner comes and
kills the farmers and rents the vineyard to
others. 21:33-41
21. "Whosoever shall fall on this stone shall
be broken: but on whomsoever it shall
fall, it will grind him to powder." Whoever
falls on "this stone" (Jesus) will be
broken, and whomever the stone falls on
will be ground into powder. 21:44
22. In the parable of the marriage feast, the
king sends his servants to gather
everyone they can find, both bad and
good, to come to the wedding feast. One
guest didn't have on his wedding
garment, so the king tied him up and
"cast him into the outer darkness" where
"there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." 22:1-14
23. The end of the world will be signaled by
wars, famines, disease, and earthquakes
(6-7). And that's just "the beginning of
sorrows" (8). Next believers will be hated
and killed by unbelievers (9), believers
will hate and betray each other (10), false
prophets will fool people (11), iniquity will
abound and love wax cold (12). But hey, if
you make through all that, you'll be saved
(13).

Only one more thing will happen before

the end comes: the gospel will be
preached throughout the world (14). Well,
that and the abomination of desolations
will stand in the holy place (15), many
false Christs and false prophets will show
great signs and wonders (24), the sun
and moon will be darkened and the stars
will fall (29), the sign of the son of Man
will appear in the sky, everyone on earth
will mourn, and then, finally, the great and
powerful son of Man will come in all his
glory (30).

Oh, and all these things will happen within

the lifespan of Jesus' contemporaries
(34).

Or maybe not. Jesus was talking about

things he knew nothing about (36). (See
Mark 13:32.) 24:3-51
Get the SAB on CD
24. Jesus had no problem with the idea of
drowning everyone on earth in the flood.
 It'll be just like that when he returns.
24:37
25. God will come when people least expect
him and then he'll "cut them asunder."
And "there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth." 24:50-51
26. The parable of the cruel and unjust
master
The kingdom of heaven is like a rich man
who distributed his wealth to his servants
while he traveled. He gave five talents (a
talent was a unit of money, worth about
20 years of a worker's wages) to one
servant, two to another, and one to a
third. When he returned, the servant with
five talents had made five more, the
servant with two made two more, but the
servant with one talent only had the talent
his master entrusted to him. The master
rewarded the servants that invested his
money (without his permission -- what
would have happened if the stock market
went down during their master's travels?)
and took the talent from the single-talent
servant and gave it to the one with ten
talents. "For unto every one that hath
shall be given .. but from him that hath not
shall be taken away even that which he
hath." Then the cruel and unjust master
cast the servant who carefully protected
his master's talent into the "outer
darkness: [where] there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth." 25:14-30
27. The servant who kept and returned his
master's talent was cast into the "outer
darkness" where there will be "weeping
and gnashing of teeth." 25:30
28. Jesus judges the nations. 25:31-46
29. Jesus tells us what he has planned for
those that he dislikes. They will be cast
into an "everlasting fire." 25:41

forever. 25:46

parables: to confuse people so they will
go to hell. 4:11-12

5:12-13

33. Any city that doesn't "receive" the

followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a
manner even more savage than that of
Sodom and Gomorrah. 6:11

34. Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing

their disobedient children as required by
Old Testament law. (See Ex 21:15, Lev
20:9, Dt 21:18-21) 7:9-10

35. Jesus tells us to cut off our hands and

feet, and pluck out our eyes to avoid
going to hell. 9:43-49

36. God is like a rich man who owns a

vineyard and rents it to poor farmers.
When he sends servants to collect the
rent, the tenants beat or kill them. So he
sent his son to collect the rent, and they
kill him too. Then the owner comes and
kills the farmers and gives the vineyard to
others. 12:1-9

37. Jesus tells his disciples to eat his body

and drink his blood. 14:22-24

38. Jesus says that those that believe and

are baptized will be saved, while those
who don't will be damned. 16:16

makes him "dumb" just for asking. 1:20

40. Those who fail to bear "good fruit" will be

"hewn down, and cast into the fire." 3:9

41. John the Baptist says that Christ will burn

the damned "with fire unquenchable."
3:17

42. Jesus heals a naked man who was

possessed by many devils by sending the
devils into a herd of pigs, causing them to
run off a cliff and drown in the sea. This
messy, cruel, and expensive (for the
owners of the pigs) treatment did not
favorably impress the local residents, and
Jesus was asked to leave. 8:27-37
43. Jesus says that entire cities will be
violently destroyed and the inhabitants
"thrust down to hell" for not "receiving" his

torture us forever in hell. 12:5

46. "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise

perish." 13:3, 5

47. According to Jesus, only a few will be

saved; the vast majority will suffer
eternally in hell where "there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth." 13:23-30

48. In the parable of the rich man and

Lazarus, the rich man goes to hell,
because as Abraham explains, he had a
good life on earth and so now he will be
tormented. Whereas Lazarus, who was
miserable on earth, is now in heaven.
This seems fair to Jesus. 16:19-31

49. Jesus believed the story of Noah's ark.

He thought it really happened and had no
problem with the idea of God drowning
everything and everybody. 17:26-27

50. Jesus also believes the story about

Sodom's destruction. He says, "even thus
shall it be in the day the son of man is
revealed ... Remember Lot's wife." This
tells us about Jesus' knowledge of
science and history, and his sense of
justice. 17:29-32

51. In the parable of the talents, Jesus says

that God takes what is not rightly his, and
reaps what he didn't sow. The parable
ends with the words: "bring them [those

hither, and slay them before me." 19:22-
27

52. Jesus tells his disciples to eat his body

and drink his blood. 22:19-20

John
53. Jesus believed the stupid and vicious

the lack of food and water. Then God told
Moses to make a brass snake to cure
them from the bites.) 3:14

54. "God so loved the world, that he gave his

His only begotten Son."
As an example to parents everywhere

only on what they believe. 3:18, 36

crippled man, after healing him, to "sin no
more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."
5:14

58. Those who do not believe in Jesus will be

cast into a fire to be burned. 15:6

59. Jesus says we must eat his flesh and

drink his blood if we want to have eternal
life. This idea was just too gross for
"many of his disciples" and "walked no
more with him." (They are called
Protestants nowadays.) 6:53-66

Acts

60. Peter claims that Dt 18:18-19 refers to

Jesus, saying that those who refuse to
follow him (all non-Christians) must be

the last chapter (10:10-13). All kinds of

Peter; slay and eat." 11:5-10

64. The "angel of the Lord" killed Herod by

having him "eaten of worms" because "he
gave not God the glory." 12:23

65. David was "a man after [God's] own

heart." 13:22

66. The author of Acts talks about the "sure

20:3, where he saws, hacks, and burns to
death the inhabitants of several cities.
13:34

rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose
end is to be burned."

Abel." 12:22-24

justified by faith (for believing that God
would order him to do such an evil act).
2:21

1 Peter

104. We are all, according to Peter,

predestined to be saved or damned. We
have no say in the matter. It was all

clear that it was their God-given job to
"hurt the earth and the sea" just as soon
as they finished their forehead marking
job. 7:3

testimony," they are killed in a war with a
beast from a bottomless pit. 11:7

136. The bodies of God's witnesses will lie

... was trodden ... and the blood cam out
of the winepress, even unto the horses
bridles." 14:19-20
