The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. - Genesis 11:6

    Sorry but that’s just not true. God is a big fan of slavery, genocide, and city building.

    Additionally; Most of Genesis is just early Jewish priests making shit up to spite their rivals.

        The book of Nehemiah is literally just some guy rebuilding Jerusalem like it’s the Sims.

        Said guy also ‘purified’ the Jewish population through things like debt cancellation, assisting in the enforcement of the laws of Moses and enforcing the divorce of Jewish men from their non-Jewish wives.

        God of the bible fucking sucks, man.

      You’re right with the making shit up though (see for example Schmid The Making of the Bible), but this is reductive, and ignores the fact that the majority of the non-priestly text-sources were likely oral traditions before being written down.
