What do you think if you read these words in a school book, what do you think?
Do you think that these words of God or of a military commander encourage his soldiers to fight and cut their necks
I think it's way past your bedtime. Go lay down and take some deep breathes and try to think good thoughts. (Late night Internet is not for the faint of heart)
"I will raise in the hearts of those who disbelieve the terror, and strike on the necks"

If I was reading that in a school book I would think they are not the words of any god nor of any military commander. I would think they are the words of Kaa, the python in Rudyard Kipling's book "The Jungle Book". Or I might think it is the voice of Mother Earth speaking through an erupting volcano, an earthquake, a flood, a tornado or a wild fire. Or perhaps the warnings of a deadly plague such as the black death or ebola. The imagination overflows with unlimited possibilities.
In fact, I do know the above phrase is of human origin, it is actually a quote from a particular holy book of a particular religion and I know that there are very similar quotes with similar meanings from other holy books of other completely different religions.
More fact - no god anywhere has ever spoken those words. They are strictly human in origin, coming from humans with murder in their hearts.
Which all just goes to show that a variety of religions and their various terrorist but imaginary, non-existent gods that have all been created by insecure and jealous humans have been trying to control their followers (slaves) by striking fear, fanaticism and murder into their hearts.
And no, they are not encouraging words and they should not encourage soldiers to fight. They should make sensible soldiers have second thoughts and doubts about the mental stability and mission of whoever speaks those words.
I agree with Colorado Rambler, I think you should go to bed, have sweet dreams and do not dwell on such unpleasant things as the fanaticism of religious cults.

Thanks for the advice
But I reject that God, and do you also reject him?

I think he basically said he rejects ALL Gods as they are ALL an invention of man designed to allow for influence (usually of the submissive kind) over others of mankind.
