I am the scourge of God, appointed to chastise you, since no one knows the remedy for your iniquity except me. You are wicked, but I am more wicked than you, so be silent!
—Timur the Lame, Mongol warlord, to nobles slow to pay tribute.
When I fire upon a man, he dies because God wants to, if God didn't want it, he wouldn't die.
For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid. For he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment to the evildoer.
—Romans 13:4
Oberyn Martell: An old septon once claimed I was living proof of the goodness of the gods. Do you know why that is, Imp?
Tyrion Lannister: No.
Oberyn: Why, if the gods were cruel, they would have made me my mother's firstborn, and Doran her third. I am a bloodthirsty man, you see. And it is me you must contend with now, not my patient, prudent, and gouty brother.
Julie Sim's face held no expression at all beyond concentration. None. She was completely in the zone. A pure killing machine. At that short range even shooting rifles she had not sited in, she never missed. Not once... To James Nichol watching it was almost like a religious experience.

To buy human flesh is not so much as named in my country: as for all who deal in slaves we are appointed by God to be their undoing. We hunt the cursed slave-sail upon all seas, as you hunt the hyena.
—Charles Doughty, Travels in Arabia Deserta.
I send the locusts on a wind
Such as the world has never seen

Thus saith the Lord!

"Godzilla is definitely a representation of the wrath of nature. The theme is man versus nature and Godzilla is certainly the nature side of it. You can't win that fight. Nature's always going to win and that's what the subtext of our movie is about. He's the punishment we deserve."
I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.
—Genghis Khan, Mongol emperor warlord, to the Khwarazmian Empire.
I am the right hand of the Lord, and the instrument of his vengeance. Zion may not be lost to us yet.
Peter: "There's no more room in Hell."
Stephen: "What?"
Peter: "Something my granddaddy used to tell us. You know Macumba? Voodoo. Granddad was a priest in Trinidad. Used to tell us, when there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth."

“The Belligerents have a name for Preem Jagganoth: God’s Monster. You see, to them, he is a divine messenger, blessed by YISUN’s angels to cut away weak and useless things from the world and forge it into a more pure form. To them, he draws all evils into himself, like a great poison, in order to expunge the world of corruption.
Most people, I believe, take their worship as further proof of their insanity.”
