Disclaimer: According to people who claim to know, this document contains quotes taken out of context, improper citations, and at least one misquote. Don't bother writing to tell me what's wrong with it. I didn't write it; I'm not a Bible scholar; and I'm not qualified to evaluate your claims. I will, however, be happy to link to rebuttal pages provided they meet certain reasonable criteria.

And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it unto thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoils thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. - Deuteronomy 20:13-14

For my love they are my adversaries... When he shall be judged, let him be condemned... Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labor. Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. - Psalm 109:4-13

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft... - 1 Samuel 15:23

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. - Mark 16:17-18

But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither, and slay them before me. - Mark 9:34

Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together and burned them... So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. - Acts 19:19-20

... if through falshood God's truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? And why not do evil that good may come, as some people slanderously charge us with saying? Their condemnation is just. - Romans 3:7-8

You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads, nor harm the edges of your beard. You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD. - Leviticus 19:27-28

Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces. - Malachi 2:3
