And that scene was repeated in every city where Paul stopped between Jerusalem and Damascus. Multiple slam dunks for Satan. Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished, and I tried to force them to blaspheme. In my obsession against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute them. The unvarnished truth is that Saul was a bigot and a bloody murderer.
Bigots seem to have a way of repressing images of bloody slam dunks from their minds.
When I was 13 I worked on my Uncle's farm for the summer. My cousin and I came upon a porcupine startled by our presence. For some dumb insane reason we began stoning it. 48 years later I can still hear the death gurgle of that innocent animal. Those kinds of slam dunks are mindless and wasteful delinquent acts of vandalism against God's creation.
