These two verses are from many other verses telling you the consequences of not believing. None of these "plagues" have happened to me. I'll put two of the worst ones here.
Leviticus 26:22 reads;
[b][i]"I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number."[/i][/b]
"if you don't believe in me I'll kill your children and neighbors."
Leviticus 26:29 reads;
[b][i]"You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters."[/i][/b]
"If you don't believe in me I'll force you to perform cannibalism, which will make you a murderer."
Edit 1: "I'll punish your children because you don't believe in me, even if they do believe in me"
Edit 2: "don't believe in me? ok, I'll just have you eat your children"
Edit 3: "BUT MUH JESUS NEW TESTAMENT" that honestly means nothing. In Christian ideology, the Bible is God's word. So God said this as well, in the belief. Having the New Testament doesn't change the fact that your god was/is malicious and barbaric.

Edited by Romans43: 10/9/2017 11:30:47 PMThis talks to Israel specifically. No one else is involved. These people God chose to be his children, and he treats them like we treat our children. If they continue rebelling, the discipline will only be more harsh. Through trial and error, however, they will learn and learn how it was a good thing they were taught what they were. The eating of children is what happens if they think their way is better than God’s. They will [b]want[/b] to eat their children because it’s the path they chose. God doesn’t force it on them. You think Israel was screwed up? Think again. Every other nation worshipped death. They worshipped cannibalism. They worshipped murder. They worshipped themselves. Notice not one nation of them still stands. The followers of God, however, do. If not anything else, those nations are examples. They succeeded in everything that they wanted, but their victories were short lived. In the Christian Age, we are not given immediate punishment, but time to look back on those mistakes. The time will come that every nation of today is demolished by their own doing. The believers, however, will still stand.
