Would You Massacre Children for Me?
WorldNetDaily commentator Vox Day would. Vox, whose real identity is Theodore Beale and whose email address is theo@eternalwarriors.com, responds to the following question:
If your god revealed to you in a set of flawless communications you could not dispute that you should kill every child you see under the age of 2, would you?
You might want to cross the street if you’re walking with your children and see hemiskinhead Vox Day (pictured left) coming, because his answer is…
.
…an emphatic yes:
I don’t see what the problem is, or why people were avoiding this last night. I mean, of course it’s supposed to be a trap but it’s a toothless one of no concern to any sufficiently intelligent individual. The answer is yes, and how would you possibly take issue with that position regardless of whether you believe in my god or don’t believe in any god?
He goes on to cite Biblical examples of My genocidal escapades, concluding that this is “[a simple] case of might = right. Obey or perish.” This guy gets it. Your morality does not derive from some inner good, some evolved altruistic instincts, or an intellectual sense of the fairness of the Golden Rule, as atheists would have you believe. No, your morality comes from Me alone, and it is subject to My whims, even when I’m drunk. I may one day decide that it is your moral imperative to eat your boogers. Many may disobey and perish, but Vox Day will be in great shape.
If you accept that argument from the IRS without question, then why would you refuse to accept it from the Creator of the Universe?
People have been unquestioningly helping the government pave the roads and feed the firefighters for too long, yet these tax-paying liberal hypocrites would question Me if I asked them to rampage through a day care center with a longsword and a bag of hand grenades. How is that any different than paying taxes?
Sly Vox that he is, Mr. Day goes on to explain why slaughtering children in My name is okay if I don’t exist, too.
And then, if I am incorrect and my god does not exist, then we must ask why Jefferson, an atheist, should object to one set of meaningless atomic arrangements being randomly sorted into different arrangements.
It’s a good thing I exist, because otherwise mankind’s iconic works like the Mona Lisa, Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities, Newton’s Principia, and Ernest Goes to Camp would all be utterly meaningless. So would sunsets, babbling brooks, and the song of the woodthrush. And children. Sure, they might mean something to people, even billions of people, but besides them who cares? Could it be that meaning something to someone is what meaning means? Only if that someone is Me.
In the comments on Vox’s post, other Christians voice their own willingness to rub out a few toddlers if I order the hit. I’m glad Allah’s not the only one with followers willing to repress their secular moral tendencies to do His dirty work. He will be so jealous when He sees these comments from people who have emptied their minds and hearts to make room for Me:
Considering that this situation is very much like what Abraham was asked to do it seems that this question has long been answered.
Vox is right. The fact that God ordered it makes it right. That we feel bad doesn’t make it less right.
This is why Christians are so much more morally advanced than atheists. They see beyond the shades of right and wrong and realize there’s a whole other realm of “unspeakable crimes that are a-OK if God says so.” Atheists live this life as though it’s their only shot, while Christians understand that life is an entrance exam for Heaven, which can be botched as long as they scrape out a pity D- with a nice confession at the end.
——————————
Update: Vox has responded with a clarification that he would not kill children in My name without My direct authorization. This is reassuring.

wait is that picture really VD? I had always pictured him as a cranky, mottled old man.
That pic is definitely him. It’s from the top of his WingNutDaily archive. His “Theodore Beale” homepage has a pic that looks a little less creepy but it’s definitely the same guy.
G’day God. Today I rolled cans of carbonated beverages into a distant brick wall and they exploded every time, it was mad as balls. You should come hang out sometime ey.
Do you favor abortion?
Yeah, I spent most of the 7th day doing that! It’s a blast.
Only for non-Christians.
well, he is totally creepy looking, and somehow the fact that he’s younger than I am makes what he says even more creepy. Barring some act from You, I guess he will be around a while, promoting his baby-killing for Jesus.
[…] granddaughter 62 times with a butcher knife based on spiritual advice from a goose. In light of my recent praise of Theodore Beale for his willingness to whack wee ones on My word, I feel obligated to issue a clarification: […]
God,
Please tell me it’s OK to wax my carrot to pics of a bald Britney Spears. I know, I know…she’s hideous, yet strangely arousing. She’s one of Your creations though, so it’s not my fault if You deliberately made her fugly-sex-tastic. So tell me it’s OK, because if you don’t, I’m going to form a new Church along Anglican lines in which You say it’s OK.
Regards,
Man
Woah, hold on there… I did NOT make Britney Spears. You’ll have to take that one up with Satan.
Vox understands the concept of authority. It is clear that atheists hate the concept of authority, and thus they refuse to believe in God.
Morality is obedience to the all-powerful, all-sovereign LORD, nothing more, nothing less.
Wrong. If you keep thinking that, the atheists will win. You have to know your enemy to defeat them.
Atheists refuse to believe in Me because they know too much. That’s why it’s important to keep them from nosing around where they shouldn’t, like in the fossil record (I buried it underground for a reason) and deep space.
Exactly! Speaking of which, Michael, tomorrow it is your moral imperative to wear a chicken costume all day long at work. That is My wish and if you don’t obey I will put you on the short bus to Hell after you die.

Yeah, those evil christians are standing up human chains around all dig sites to prevent you from digging for fossils. That’s the best excuse for absolute absesnce of a single transitionary fossil I’ve heard yet.
And everybody knows that jerry falwell and company have been slashing NASA’s budget for decades. Brilliant blogging, you do well at displaying the spectacular way that athiests can combine ignorance and arrogance.
You are dishonest from the start in your feeble attempts to suggest that Vox Day’s words indicate that he is a threat to any child. Retard.

Many of Theo Beale’s views seem very similar to those of the Nazi Party.
Not too long ago he had the Antidefamation League interested in him because of one of his columns. One wonders if he just courts the controversy, but then look at the guy, he’s such a good little blackshirt.
Theo Beale tells what I believe to be lies about martial arts expertise, as well as a great many other things. Among other stories, he claims to have “submitted” the commandant of the Marine Corps in some sort of mat sport.
I think he’s full of shit.
Hazim said this: “Brilliant blogging, you do well at displaying the spectacular way that athiests [sic] can combine ignorance and arrogance.”
Oh, the irony.
