Evil Bible Quote of the Day for July 22, 2004 from www.EvilBible.com:
Jephthah Kills 42,000 (Judges 12:4-6 NLT)
The leaders of Ephraim responded, "The men of Gilead are nothing more
than rejects from Ephraim and Manasseh." So Jephthah called out his army
and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. Jephthah captured the
shallows of the Jordan, and whenever a fugitive from Ephraim tried to go
back across, the men of Gilead would challenge him. "Are you a member of
the tribe of Ephraim?" they would ask. If the man said, "No, I'm not," they
would tell him to say "Shibboleth." If he was from Ephraim, he would say
"Sibboleth," because people from Ephraim cannot pronounce the word
correctly. Then they would take him and kill him at the shallows of the
Jordan River. So forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.
(Judges 12:4-6 NLT)

myths and magic that says it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder?
