Murder in the Bible
The act of murder is rampant in the Bible. In much of the Bible,
especially the Old Testament, there are laws that command that people be
killed for absurd reasons such as working on the Sabbath, being gay,
cursing your parents, or not being a virgin on your wedding night. In
addition to these crazy and immoral laws, there are plenty of examples of
Gods irrationality by his direct killing of many people for reasons that
defy any rational explanation such as killing children who make fun of
bald people, and the killing of a man who tried to keep the ark of God
from falling during transport. There are also countless examples of mass
murders commanded by God, including the murder of women, infants, and
children.
The following passages are a very small percentage of the total
passages approving of murder in the Bible. They are divided here into
three parts: 1) Capital Punishment Crimes, 2) Gods Murders for Stupid
Reasons, 3) Murdering Children, and 4) Miscellaneous Murders. This list
is long, but it barely scratches the surface of all the murders approved

Death for Cursing Parents
1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the
coming of darkness. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)
2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They
