The biblical king David was a genocidal maniac. He randomly killed 200 Philistines in order to win his first bride.

@Seun,
pls dont open the genocide/annihilation that happened in the Bible.thats another kettle of fish altogether.
Re: King David Of The Bible by Seun(m): 4:56pm On Aug 23, 2007
Ok, I won't, but i feel compelled to mention it whenever anyone talks about the 'great' King David.

Technically speaking, your analysis is wrong. Genocide means "the deliberate and systematic extermination of an ethnic or national group", and this was certainly not the case according to your own submission.
Re: King David Of The Bible by Seun(m): 6:53pm On Aug 23, 2007
You're right. David was not a genocidal maniac (that honor belongs to Joshua). He was merely a tribalistic mass murderer who counted the lives of anyone outside Israel to be worth nothing. Sorry!

seun is disrespectful to king david and has to apologise period!
Re: King David Of The Bible by TayoD(m): 8:14pm On Aug 24, 2007
@Seun,

So your heart was pricking you this past week and you picked up a copy of the Holy Book to read! We sha must to hear am anytime you dey have your issues of the heart. Nothing spoil, God sabi reach you wherever you dey.

In any case, na only David and Joshua you sabi read about? Why do you believe that biography and yet thumb your nose at clear passages that address your need such as John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life!
Why are you trying to justify your rebellion by such true stories, and yet ignore the story of the greatest Emissary of all time whose mission was clearly defined in 2 Corinthians 5:19 - To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;

May God continue to prick your heart and eventually have His way with you.
Re: King David Of The Bible by naijacutee(f): 1:01am On Aug 25, 2007
Why do people always feel the need to stomp-the-christian? I love the genocidial maniac and it only goes to show that even though King David was an imperfect man, a "genocidial maniac", and an adultere, God still chose him.
The moral of the story is that no matter what we've done in the past, if we believe and depend on God alone, he's willing to use us too, just like he used David.
Re: King David Of The Bible by k0be: 1:18am On Aug 25, 2007
what's stomp the christian? christians, muslims, buddhists, atheists, etc all have critics. I guess it's part of the package that comes with religion.
Re: King David Of The Bible by naijacutee(f): 2:13am On Aug 25, 2007
I think christians are the biggest targets of more critics than any other religion. . . . But then, I take that as a good thing wink

naijacutee don't wink until you explain why you take it as a good thing.

I agree muslims and christians alike are the biggest targets, but I don't see it as a good thing. It fuels religious hatred, which leads to religious killings.
Re: King David Of The Bible by PTH(m): 3:20am On Aug 25, 2007
I long for the day someone would boldly put up a thread about the genocidal maniac called Muhammad without the fear of a ban.

Its easy to put up threads to thrash christianity and disparage biblical characters, when its done to islam it is quickly dubbed islam bashing, the muslim threads are fully protected and anyone who dares question mohammed is treated to serial bans! undecided May the Lord have mercy.
Re: King David Of The Bible by IDINRETE: 4:35am On Aug 25, 2007
Seun you see, now you have opened the can of worms
Re: King David Of The Bible by Seun(m): 12:10pm On Aug 25, 2007
Yeah, and I'm going to open even more by quoting and reacting to more chapters of the bible soon.
Re: King David Of The Bible by IDINRETE: 12:53pm On Aug 25, 2007

Hey try and use capitalisation next time so peeps wont think u are talking about Olokun or Ogun.
Re: King David Of The Bible by Aproko(f): 10:41pm On Aug 28, 2007
truth is, if seun or anyone thinks david or joshua or anyone else for that matter is a genocidal maniac, their thoughts cannot change history or the messagescontained in those stories!! and seun is not going to drop dead just because he thinks some biblical stories show a God that loves genocidal maniacs!!! so really no matter anybody's opinion, those that know the God they serve will never be moved by the opinions of a few that are seeking ways to justify their opinions.
Re: King David Of The Bible by Backslider(m): 6:31pm On Aug 29, 2007
A man soul can deceive him and yet still he will know. We wait for the exposition of the bible.
Re: King David Of The Bible by toshmann(m): 7:01pm On Aug 29, 2007
i strongly believe the Great King David was the man after God's heart. if he killed hundreds of uncircumsiced philistines just to get one wife, perhaps what we are not getting is the background of those killings. those God forsaken philistines were at that time billed for execution as it was written to Abraham thousands of years b4 David was born that -he who blesses you i will bless and whoever curses you i will curse- those bloody philistines stood in God's way by fighting God's annointed peeps, so they were destined for destruction and David simply made himself available as a worthy instrument inthe hands of a holy, righteous, and awesome GOD.

if saul rewarded him with his daughter. . . .fair enough. but the fact is that there was a need to wipe out those modafukin uncircumcised godless inhuman brainless entities called the philistines. . . . .at the time tongue

King David, my Hero cool

It doesn't matter what you think of king David. What matters is what God calls him - A MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
Re: King David Of The Bible by cgift(m): 5:20pm On Aug 30, 2007
Seun wants to contain God within his small head. How can?
Re: King David Of The Bible by jerrymania(m): 10:52pm On Aug 30, 2007
So i guess Seun was a bit right after all. King David was a brutal killer. Saul had promised the killer of Goliath his daughter’s hand and has to make good, but he decides to demand a dowry of 100 Philistine foreskins for her, thinking that David will be killed. Instead, David presents Saul with 200 foreskins, so Saul is forced to give David his daughter, Michal, for a wife.


isnt FORESKINS what we know as joysticks?
Re: King David Of The Bible by naijacutee(f): 3:23am On Aug 31, 2007
Hmmm it's funny how quick people are to dance to whatever tune that's playing!

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source fore·skin (fôr'skĭn', fōr'-) Pronunciation Key
n. The loose fold of skin that covers the glans of the penis. Also called prepuce.

Not the penis!


Re: King David Of The Bible by Seun(m): 5:18am On Aug 31, 2007
18:27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

Who cares what part of their body he decided to cut after they were dead? He killed them in cold blood!
