text: what is your favorite crazy bit of the ot? i know - so much to choose from, jeptha sacrificing the first person who walks through the door so he could win a battle,and it turns out to be his daughter,who then asks dad time off so she can lose her virginity first... the eating of sh*t cakes, god telling abraham to sacrifice his son then saying 'nayah only testing!!!'...the slaughters of leviticus, but what is your actual most crazy, crude bit that illustrates best that yahweh(also used as  a placeholder name for 'the lord'), could not possibly be the loving and forgiving god of creation that knows not hatred or vengeance? even you can contribue, mainworry, you lonely old sod. hey dumpfinds. seeing as how you have such love and respect for a vengeful and jealous god, you will love this one:   so tell them, "the lord, the god of israel, says: all your wineskins will be full of wine."  and they will reply, "of course, you don't need to tell us how prosperous we will be!"  then tell them, "no, this is what the lord means: i will make everyone in this land so confused that they will seem drunk – from the king sitting on david's throne and from the priests and the prophets, right on down to the common people.  i will smash them one against the other, even parents against children, says the lord.  i will not let my pity or mercy or compassion keep me from destroying them."   (jeremiah 13:12-14 nlt)  gotta love a god with attitude!
