Deuteronomy

 Tactics of Deception

‘When you come to a city to fight against it, then first proclaim peace toward it.
If it answers for peace, and opens its gates to you, then all the people found therein shall be your slaves, and they shall serve you.
If it won’t make peace, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it.
And when the LORD thy God has delivered it into your hands, you shall kill every male inside with the edge of your sword.
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the fortunes inside, shall you take for yourself; and you shall eat all the good things of your enemy, which the LORD thy God has given you.
Thus you shall do to every city even faraway which are not among your chosen nations.
In these cities, which the LORD thy God gives you for an inheritance, you shall leave nothing left alive:
But you shall utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God has commanded you ....(Deuteronomy 20:10-17)

- thus spake the God from Hell

Usury is O.K.

‘You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you’,(15:6) adding, ‘To a foreigner you may lend upon interest, but to your brother you shall not lend upon interest.’ (23:20)

Dante placed usurers in the very lowest circle of his Hell, his 9th circle of Hell, worse than murderers. 

Treatment of Women

 [If you] see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you have desire for her and would take her for yourself as wife, then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and pare her nails. And she shall put off her captive's garb, and shall remain in your house and bewail her father and her mother a full month; after that you may go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. Then, if you have no delight in her, you shall let her go where she will; (21:11-14)

If you take a fancy to a captive girl, take her home with you, shave her hair off, and considerately allow her to ‘bewail’ your having wiped out her family - for a month or so. Then, ‘go into her’ and marry her ... but if, at the end, you ‘have no delight’ in her – just chuck her out, no problem. At no stage is she consulted, about anything.

Who unleashed this God-from-Hell upon the human race, Seymour Light wondered to himself?

Why Christ was Crucified:

"If a prophet arises among you, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder which he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, `Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, `and let us serve them,' you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him, and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and cleave to him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, (13:1-5)

A dreamer of dreams must not live!

Conquest of Cities

‘And we captured all his cities at that time and utterly destroyed every city, men, women, and children; we left none remaining” (2:34) .. “destroying every city, men women and children (3:6)” … When the LORD your God brings you into the land which you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you …and when the LORD your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them; then you must utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them, and show no mercy to them. .. But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Ashe'rim, and burn their graven images with fire. (7:3-5). Once rival kings are captured, “You shall make their name perish from under heaven’(7:24) ..

… then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours; your territory shall be from the wilderness and Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphra'tes, to the western sea. … You shall surely destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains and upon the hills and under every green tree; you shall tear down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Ashe'rim with fire; you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy their name out of that place. (11:23-25, 122-4)

‘Good advice from Satan’s kingdom’ to quote William Blake

How to Curse

A long list of dreadful curses is written out, and then these curses can ‘activated,’ either against a man -

The LORD would not pardon him, but rather the anger of the LORD and his jealousy would smoke against that man, and the curses written in this book would settle upon him

or the land as a whole:

 therefor the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, bringing upon it all the curses written in this book; (29:20,27)

These are black-magic techniques.

Marriage Made in Hell

Want to get married? Save up fifty shekels, then rape the object of your desire:

If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, (22:28-9)

or, another one of his wives as polygamy was OK for men.
