Bible Badassery

I'm not a regular reader of the bible, but with quotes like these, a Bible can do when you're unable to rent a good DVD:

----

From 2 Kings 2

Elisha Is Jeered

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.

I mean think about it. 42 kids mauled by bears for calling god's prophet a baldhead. For some reason I have weird images of dead Peanuts kids and an angry, angry Charlie Brown with a sheperds crook. "Good bears! Show Lucy to make fun of my lack of hair again! Tear Linus a new one!"
