If anyone strikes someone a fatal blow with an iron object, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. Or if anyone is holding a stone and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. Or if anyone is holding a wooden object and strikes someone a fatal blow with it, that person is a murderer; the murderer is to be put to death. Numbers 35: 16-18
God must be from Texas. (Note: this blog takes no stand on capitol punishment. The ridiculous nature of this passage is solely due to the creator of the universe's incredible concern with a small group of a particular species, nestled on a tiny speck of a rock in a distant corner of a massive universe. Yee-haw!)
