My son sends me bible verses

I have a nasty cold today, which takes the edge off weekend fun.  So it is the perfect day to post a link one of my sons sent to me, for
The Nine Most Bad-Assed Bible Verses Of All Time.  Here’s a sample:

If the Bible had been written by King Leonidas and the rest of the Spartans from 300, it would probably read pretty much the same as it does now. It turns out, the Bible is already chock full of ass kicking. Here are the verses that make us want to take to the streets and put some unbelievers to the sword.
#9;  Exodus 2:11-12

Sure, Moses was a great leader, an emancipator of his people and a prophet. Most people don’t know that he also was the Biblical equivalent of Splinter Cell’s Sam Fisher—a well-honed killing machine, able to slay from the shadows without pity or remorse. Martin Luther King may have had a dream, but Moses had a body count.

You can almost picture the scene: An Egyptian soldier is wailing on a hapless Hebrew when Moses, clothed in head-to- toe black, drops down from the ceiling. Moving with cat-like grace, he sneaks up behind the soldier and, taking his head in his hands, snaps the man’s neck with one savage twist. As the lifeless body slumps to the ground, Moses lights up a cigar. “Well,” he quips, “looks like someone bit off more than he could Jew.”

(I’m going straight to hell for linking to this, aren’t I?)

But almost any bible verse can be made more bad-assed with a little tweaking.  Take Ezekial 25:17 and misquote it significantly.  Put it in a pointlessly violent Quentin Tarantino movie (yes, I know that is a tautology).  And have Samuel L. Jackson perform the 9-minute scene while holding a 9mm pistol in a robber’s face.  Presto!... the restaurant scene from Pulp Fiction. 

(Please note both of the links above have, uh, some profanity.  If that bothers you.)
