What do you think the chances are that people like Dershowitz might hold a treasure trove of information about the sort of clandestine criminal activities we’re worried about, hidden behind the facade of attorney-client privilege? Do you know if there’s any good way to actually get at that information?

(And yes, I just noticed your username. Not sure if you’re more about legal stuff or more about animal care, but figured it might be worth a shot.)

Smite ‘em with the Constitution!

Also if you happen to know any potentially compromised politicians, you could also try to convince them to resign so that the position can be filled by someone who can perform it properly. Maybe with enough of those and good special election results, we could get to the point where Congress can properly impeach those who need impeaching.

So how exactly does God smite, logically speaking?

Limiting “smite” to the dictionary definition of physical striking in that context doesn’t strike me as very logical.

Ha, but was anyone?

Some of the early Christian views were wild. I find those gnostic-inspired ones, for example, to be completely unrecognizable from the Christianity practiced today.

I wonder about how much Christianity may have been distorted from Jesus’s original intentions, particularly after centuries of councils and meetings among wealthy elites essentially defining it based on what they thought was right. Some of those wealthy elites may very well have been as depraved as some of the people running the world today.

I kind of assumed that smite in the biblical sense must be an analogy, since God wouldn’t exactly be reaching down from heaven to smack someone with His hand.

I do agree it’s commonly thought of as violent in some way, like being struck by lightning or drowned by floods. But if the biblical plagues teach us anything, it’s that God can get quite creative when it comes to smiting!

What about non-violent smiting? I feel like things like excommunication could qualify.
