The Ghost of RubangB said: Whoa whoa konnichiwa, not everything in the Bible has a good message. What about this one?
2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
42 kids make fun of a bald man's funny looking bald head, so he curses them and G-d sends 2 she-bears to maul and murder all 42 of them. What's the message?

actually the correct translation for children is young men, so i would say it was teens. But this also parallels to the mocking of gods servants. Somewhere else in the bible it says that to mock a servant of god in the name of pride and scorn means death.
obviously you are looking for things to be wrong right? If anything i would have picked the part of the bible that said if you touch a womans "monthly" curse you will be damned and killed on the spot. But mainly wierd stuff like that was meant to scare people into not eating rotten food, infecting themselves with blood poisoning, fishing in the wrong stream, killing other people, stuff like that.
