3. I'm listening to this, shaking my head. "Divine Hate"????
These people get crazier by rhe day. You call a bomb "divine" so that makes it an okay bomb? I almost don't know what to think any more. This is the epitomy of "up is down" and all the other things that mean the opposite of what the Bushbots call them.

14. Same question went through my mind. Not because I think that
would be the case, but just wondering if that's one thing they're trying to make us think! :eyes:

5. This is beyond bizarro!
These Dominionists really are loony. How about the bomb named Divine Hate? Maybe this is a clue as to whom their real God is.

7. Would we be happier if they were named after candy bars
or sit-coms? Not me.

But yes, the religious naming does serve to illustrate the special pathology of the weapons industry.

16. There's plenty of deadly divine wrath in the Bible.
Edited on Mon Apr-17-06 04:01 PM by greyl
You should be warned that I'm an atheist. My point stands. I don't give a shit what their name is. Is a bomb by any other name less insane?
Please check out the links I provided.

17. Divine wrath in the Bible means it came from God.
These bombs certainly haven't come from any God but were made by the hands of some dirty, evil men.

10. The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
comes to mind.

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy."

The Python fellows were right all along.
