Only if you believe Isaiah was an actual man who lived in ancient Judah and who interacted with an amoral, barbaric Hebrew tribal deity named Yahweh. If, on the other hand, you view the Book of Isaiah as a reservoir of symbolic cultural and anthropological data, then that's wholly different matter.
The nazis were barbaric and immoral and yet the Jews linger still. Symbolic culture and anthropological data are of what value when compared to all eternity?

Symbolic culture and anthropological data are of what value when compared to all eternity? The only way this question can be relevant is if the ancient Hebrew tribal deity is, in fact, an eternal being. If the Bible is the only evidence you have to back that up, you're in trouble.
The nazis were barbaric and immoral and yet the Jews linger still. That's a very striking parallel you draw, between Yahweh's behavior and the Nazis' behavior. As someone to whom those parallels are apparent, perhaps you can tell me whether the following enhances or detracts from the Biblical narrative:

typical atheist, knows not what they read. No one called anyone "bald" as in "no hair"....it was baldhead, as in an empty skull (Hebrew עלה קרח עלה קרח aleh kereach, aleh kereach). It was a blasphemous insult about claiming that the ascension to Heaven of his master was "make believe" and those children were Beth-elite idolaters....i suggest the, as usual, ill-informed atheist acquire knowledge about the event before they make cute memes about things which they know little of. Though i admire the courage of today's atheist, it seems they still embrace ignorance of their history and how they ultimately and reliably come to justice before society and God.

Oh, so it was their fault that they were mauled to death by bears sent by the ancient Hebrew tribal sky god.
Your meme-fu is weak, old man.

i appreciate your continued confirmation that you are unaware of that entire Biblical episode (ie the difference between the wrath of God, a curse, and people that destroy she-bear habitats). Interesting how you consider your argument, position, or personality as being encouraged through the refusal of offering, at least, a learned criticism.

this meme is a great banner for those who are amoral, self-absorbed, and of inadequate social intelligence....a.k.a. "atheist".
Ever consider having an original thought? or are you just content with your fast emerging Troll status?

Some of my posts are not being put in here for some reason, so I will post this again. God has also punished men who disobeyed his laws so I fail to see your point.
