You know it's hard not to see these stories and think that God was actually some alien physical being or maybe some more advanced being from an ancient Egypt whose technology was very high but had been destroyed in some earthly cataclysm which is sort of becoming popular to think today. And these stupid little tribes that have no knowledge of anything our hand-picked by these Superior beings just because for one reason or another they can and they just like one of these little primitive pets more than the other and they say oh you're lineage will be my favorite.
And when I see these kinds of stories I think to myself what a fucking asshole whoever the superior being was. What an egotist what an asshole exploiting whatever Superior power he had over these poor ignorant idiots that he could apparently just kill and maim it will and took great pleasure in doing it until they were obedient to him.
I believe in a greater God than these stories produce. If that's all God was then good Lord we sure shouldn't be worshiping it. Yet a lot of modern-day people enjoy the primitive thinking. They enjoy the idea of daddy telling them what to do and that they might be daddy's favorite or whatever the hell it is. Just like a whole lot of modern people like to watch pro wrestling and some of them still believe it's real. And they just love the excitement of the big strong muscular guy in way too small shorts going out there and getting way too close to the other big strong muscular guy in way too small shorts. And they love it when they talk smack to each other somehow.
Maybe it's just about iq. I don't know. But these stories about God come up and these ancient books leave little room for doubt that it was a physical being with a mere technological superiority over the poor dumb fucks that he was picking and choosing.
If you read more carefully you will see that the ‘Superior beings’ you are talking about were created by God; The Creator of all things, who is spirit and whose ways are above our ways, and whose thoughts are above our thoughts as the heavens are above the earth.
“ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. “
Dig deeper friend There's lots going on , on all kinds of levels. It's not oh God is such a dick, it's deep and beautiful and painful and just the very nature of God.

Best not to mention any of that to your Mother when we get home.
Isaac:
Well at least it should help some people to understand the relationship between faith and works.
Abraham:
You’d think.
