Perhaps one could take a stab at the meaning from the context it was used, but I had
no idea what it meant. That's why I did in fact google it beforehand. I'm sorry you didn't like my lighthearted comment that apparently caused you some irritation, in the future I'll try to make sure not cause you such distress!

Similar for the search phrase "smash knee god" (notable 2nd hit: VideoGame/Super Smash Bros. - Television Tropes & Idioms).
A couple of things:
i) If you want to "call bs" on my experiences that's up to you, but perhaps you could do me the courtesy of clarifying whether you think I am wrong about my own experiences, or if I am just lying about them?
ii) If you are basing your conclusion in some part on your impotent searching skills, rather than perhaps some form of prejudice (perhaps you took
personal offense when I called the phrase a menacing Christian slogan), allow me to help. A big clue would be that none of your results even include the verse in question ("every knee shall bow").
Since you are a smart and well-educated guy, I think its more likely that you couldn't be bothered to search adequately, which is bordering on dishonesty.
Even disregarding that I was originally referring to comments in videos or audio (perhaps I should have said 'heard' instead of 'seen', but I was not expecting my experiences to be called bs), if you google something more appropriate, say "
every knee iron rod" then just on the first page I found the following:
1st hit on page
But this forced submission, in which every knee will be forced to bow, and every tongue be forced to confess, will be very different from the drawing of men's hearts which will be progressing at the same time

4th hit on page
For the day of judgement will come, and if you do not kneel a rod of iron will break your knees. Found guilty. A rod of iron will break your knees. Found Guilty.

FIVE DIVINE DECLARATIONS
NO. 2793
A SERMON INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD’S-DAY, AUGUST 24, 1902.
DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON,
AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTO
It is true that there are two ways in which men shall be made to bow the knee before God. Some of them will bow unwillingly when they shall feel the weight of His iron rod. Others shall bow joyfully before Him when they shall feel the power of His Grace.

EVERY knee wiill bow my friend. His elect will willingly bow whereas as the wicked will have their knees smashed by God with His iron rod that He will rule with.

But as you declared, I'm probably mistaken or lying.

Sure, why do that when you're already busy not answering a question I did ask.
btw, I just want to briefly explain why I even bothered with this reply: I had thought you were one of the more helpful contributors to RGT no matter who was asking, and even if the questions were fairly basic (from your own perspective). I'm not entirely sure if I was just wrong about this, or if you have just started to become as obnoxious as [
certain other posters] can be when they're in an off topic rant (clarification: [
certain other posters] are only obnoxious in those rants...mostly!).
Edited out [
certain other posters] name, since that wasn't very fair!

Reason: That Spurgeon guy, he sounds like the kind of person that gets quoted a lot, no?
