Now, now. There will be perfectly innocent staff on that plane.

Refer to Bible, Lord, smite the enemy.

The smiting seemed to follow most of the time.

Selection bias. When the smiting didn't follow, the Bible doesn't report it.

It does, but there's always a reason God withheld the smite. The Chillun of Israel were whoring after false gods and such.

In fact, the Old Testament offers a series of object lessons in how to succeed in targeted prayer.
