Dude, my favorite is 2Kings 2:23:24

“Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, ‘Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!’ When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.”

God kills 42 kids for calling someone bald LOL

That verse is funny as fuck, definitely up there with some of the best. Along with killing all of the pigs being raised for food in a village, because they were all apparently possessed by an army of demons

  “Killing?” Even when mocking an opponent, at least be accurate; the demons possessed the pigs who then rushed into water and drowned themselves: biblehub.com/mark/5-13.htm

    I analyzed this verse as part of my Bible 101 course in college. The NIV (preferred by biblical scholars) is that Jesus drove the pigs to their death as a continuation of the Mesopotamian tradition of religious warriors

    Sure, but I was just calling out the wording. The pigs were not killed by anything other than the demons’ actions (and yes, we know He sent them, or allowed them to be sent, in them).

    According to Jesus, He should have known the demons would possess the pigs. He’s God.
    
    AT LEAST BE ACCURATE

  It’s less violent, but Jesus killing a fig tree because it wasn’t fig season is also really funny.
