    Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the realm of the dead, for evil finds lodging among them.

    ~ Psalms 55:15

    For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

    ~ Romans 13:4

      I’m pretty sure neither of those says ‘acting stupid’ is an abomination worthy of death…

        I’m not sure “act stupid” is an idiom that existed at the time the scriptures were written. But “do wrong” comes close enough. And the implication of the term is that you’re engaging in some kind of threatening behavior, which would qualify you as one of “my enemies”.

          Considering they were asked if they had guns and not threatened with guns, I’m not sure how that was threatening behavior.
