God's naughty vulgar side?

Ezekiel 23:1-4, 7-10, 14a, 17-20

A message from the Lord came to me. The Lord said, “Son of man, once there were two women. They had the same mother. They became prostitutes in Egypt. They have been unfaithful to me since they were young. In that land they allowed their breasts to be touched. They permitted their virgin breasts to be kissed. The older sister was named Oholah. The younger one was Oholibah. They belonged to me. Sons and daughters were born to them. Oholah stands for Samaria. And Oholibah stands for Jerusalem.

“....Oholah gave herself as a prostitute to all Assyria’s finest warriors. She made herself impure with the statues of the gods of everyone she longed for. She started being a prostitute in Egypt. And she never stopped. When she was young, men had sex with her. They kissed her virgin breasts. They used up all their sinful desires on her.

“So I handed her over to her Assyrian lovers. She longed for them. They stripped her naked. They took away her sons and daughters. And they killed her with their swords. Other women laughed when that happened. I was the one who had punished her.

“But Oholibah went even further with her sexual sins..... Then the Babylonians came to her. They went to bed with her. They had sex with her. They made her impure when they had sex with her. After they did it, she became sick of them. So she turned away from them. She acted like a prostitute who had no shame at all. She openly showed her naked body. I became sick of what she was doing. So I turned away from her. I had also turned away from her sister. But Oholibah offered her body to her lovers again and again. She remembered the days when she was a young prostitute in Egypt. There she had longed for her lovers. Their private parts seemed as big as those of donkeys. And their flow of semen appeared to be as much as that of horses.

According to Ezekiel these are words from God himself. I didn't expect God to say things like that, especially the last two sentences about donkeys and horses.

It's memorable.

Maybe your expectations and limitations do not apply to God?

My guess would be that your concept of God differs from the author's (or authors').

Personally I am a bit of a fan of "When she was young, men had sex with her. They kissed her virgin breasts" and "Their private parts seemed as big as those of donkeys. And their flow of semen appeared to be as much as that of horses"... I'd be interested in seeing a movie version of the passage... just as a way of understanding the Bible of course....

What's happens in the mind's eye, is probably better than anything you'll see on screen.

I like how the author assumes the reader is familiar with the penis size and volume of ejaculation of donkeys and horses, as though those are everyday things

I know I'm not a horse. I know a horse is bigger than me.... so.... logically....

I can understand that it is surprising parable, especially when the scripture is about how Jerusalem and Samaria have been unfaithful to God. But, perhaps it was the best words to describe how vulgar the "sisters" have been, practicing idolatry in many disgusting ways.

Once you see the movie, would you be able to read the story and review the images in your mind?

Kind of in a spatial way and kind of ghost-like. Also I can imagine music in my head like songs with instruments and singing.

Apparently it is God himself speaking. He would be aware that the current reader would be familiar with these things, at least when I'm talking about myself.

I'm not

I have no idea how long a horse's penis is or how much sperm a donkey produces

I'm sure I am not alone

I believe He knows all the words and uses what He pleases. That is the nice thing about being God; He doesn't need to answer for anything.

I suspect their is a great deal of hyperbole in those verses. You do realize God is doing a fictional story don't you?
