  I don’t think so… it seems a fancy way of saying you smacked it really hard.
  
  Smote is the past tense form of the verb smite, which is most frequently used to mean “to strike sharply or heavily especially with the hand or with something held in the hand,” or “to kill or severely injure by striking in such a way.”

If god is making a token gesture to combat atheism, its WAY too late.

For like half a second he must have thought “Ha! You missed me!” before he realized god had another one in the clip.
