You throw around words like “stupid” and “false” but you don't have the intelligence necessary to understand the parable of the sower and the seed.

That is false.
And how many people do you think are virgins when they get married, or marry the same person who they both gave up their virginity with?.
Unfortunately the church never teaches that when a man and a woman lay down together, God judges them as either married or the same as a prostitute with a customer.

There was no punishment of death for fornication.
Fornication in the Bible included mingling with people of other beliefs. He did not see Israelites having fornication with other Israelites but with people with other forms (or lack of any) of worship This was because it was a prerequisite to them worshiping other gods that brought about destruction and death to Israel.

Already answered and your definition of fornication and your ignorance of what happens when 2 people become one flesh, shows that the light in your house is more than just a little bit dull

No one should schedule anything during hurricane/God's wrath season.
Though I do wonder why He selectively unleashes His nature wrath on all of those folks who didn't do anything abominable with hurricanes and tornados and fires and floods and earthquakes and whatnot. Well, I suppose they did something! Heck, I don't even want to think about what those folks who get struck by lightening did! And those folks who get struck by lightening TWiCE?? Oh man!

I would say from the startling lack of Hurricanes during the holocaust, or virtually any other atrocity or genocide you care to mention.
Hitler was an epitome of evil, but maybe clever enough not to hold the Holocaust in a hurricane/God's wrath zone, during the summer hurricane/God's wrath months. That could be why he didn't do it it in New Orleans or Tampa during summertime. Ask aMisinformationistWarrior; he probably knows. I think that's also probably why they built Vegas out in the desert: keeping far away from God's wrath zones.

God's wrath correlates rather closely with natural weather patterns.
Pretty well covered already, but no. For one thing, it's an annual event. What, was he just too lazy to be bothered last year?
I think probably there were going to be extra rainbow flags this year. Or maybe more homosexual-themed cakes.
Did He unleash His wrath on Mardi Gras or spring break this year? Or just the gay parade in New Orleans and the first day of the Republican convention?

He did unleash some wrath on a few of of the plants on my deck with the heat this year. I'm not sure what they did to deserve it. Something bad.

Baseless accusations, eh?
Is that your typical MO?

Fornication is not adultery.

Agreed.

So, if two unmarried virgin Israelites of opposite genders had consensual sex [and thus were no longer virgins] what was it called?

Now you're just assuming that I think there's nothing wrong with fornication and that such is the consummation of a relationship in the eyes of God.
You are also wrong to assume I have done nothing since I first believed for which I deserve execution.
You have no idea what I believe, or know.
Do you know what the law was for two people of opposite genders caught in the act of consensual sex in OT Israel?
