The Book of Job is Job angrily demanding God explain why he's been fucking him over so much and God just blowing up at him for several pages trying to scare him with "DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO" to avoid admitting "Yeah it was for a bet"

Russell Kirkpatrick’s Fire of Heaven trilogy is a high fantasy series but, read another way, it’s “how could an omnipotent God possibly justify this fuckery?” And his sequel trilogy is like “how could a New Testament-ish God possibly justify this fuckery?”

Not God’s fault necessarily, but I love how the patriarch of the religion is like “hey Sarah, why don’t you pretend you my sister and let the Pharaohs shack up with you because why not.” And the next day after God fucks up the P’s, they are like “HEY ABE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?”

The ancient Israelites seem to more or less think of Yahweh as an Elder God, which honestly at least makes waaaaaay more sense than Christian apologetics who will really try to tell me that a child living a short and brutal life in the Congo is so I’ll feel grateful in comparison

The scholarship linking Yahweh & El with the Canaanite gods is fairly interesting. It also explains why other gods are taken seriously in the OT, instead of the patriarchs & prophets simply saying "other gods don't exist."

The Book of Judges is god telling us to act right, us fucking around, us finding out, us realizing we fucked up and asking god to bail us out, god bailing us out, god telling to act right... We’re basically toddlers, but by that point in the bible god kinda has it coming.

I always have an image of OT God doing a heavy sigh, rolling his eyes, and shouting "Me-dammit, not AGAIN"
