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.
