It is continually amazing how we anthropomorphize deities, giving them human traits when in fact a god capable of snapping its rhetorical fingers and a universe appears, SURE, that deity MUST look just like humans, have reactions just like humans 'I am a Jealous god'. Right.
God and human enemies, an oxymoron.
Lets see, being A, capable of manufacturing whole universes with ease, will be somehow jealous of being B, the advanced ape known as humans where the best of us have only managed to walk on our nearest body in space, the moon.
Yeah, we are such a threat to this deity it has to destroy all life on land to spite a few thousand 'bad' humans.
Sure, it could happen.
Just not in THIS universe.
The fact nobody in the religious world has the independence of mind to question all this utter BS says a lot as to the cleverness of the original writers, setting things up in such a way that people are convinced black is white and you don't get to use your heritage, your intelligence, to actually argue against all that, back in the day if you were part of that crowd and did the apostate deal, you end up dead.
Yep, I can REALLY see a deity so worried about those intractable humans it want's them dead, kaput, zippered, concrete boots, drawn and quartered, heads mounted on a pole because this loving deity wants to make bloody sure none of its enemies can hurt it.
God and human enemies, an oxymoron.
Like the word implies, you breath too much oxygen, you become a moron.
