So Moses took the staff from the Lord’s presence, just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?” 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.
But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”
Like. Lets be clear: they were in a fucking desert. They were dying from dehydration and he’s like 'You fuckers don’t trust me."
Granted… They did get lost in the desert for 40 years. Like. a desert you can cross in a week just walking straight. Yeah. I’d fuck with them too if they were that incompetent. you know. turn the tornado/pillar of fire do figure eights and such. maybe a polar rose.
(it’s probably a good thing it’s entirely made up, though.)
Cmon, the Christian’s God is not so cheap…

The old testament was the best, that is when God was a full-on narcissistic, vengeful, self-centered, rage monster.
it’s funny how awful god treated the israelites.
