But. Like ALL robotic, and inflexible depictions of LAW? Everyone is evil-- at least in part-- so the Magic Jew comes down with flaming apparatus and destroys everyone-- none are spared, as none are pure enough. Classic Story, actually.
I don't know what law you are referring to here, but the Law of Moses was set up to fail, in as much as it couldn't be upheld by anyone that had been born into a system that was broken. The law served in various capacities, some practical, like the hygienic laws, some symbolic, as in the sacrificial, etc. Man, for example, wasn't created for the sabbath but the sabbath was created for man.
The law served to inform the people of their inability to uphold it, their need for justice which couldn't be achieved in any real sense by the law, and the possibility of a more perfect law.
But fits perfectly in the narrative of a 100% inflexible god of the bible-- who is SO rigid that he cannot figure out how to simply forgive, like a sane human being can.
Perhaps to a misinformed believer or uninformed unbeliever, but not to someone who understands it, outside of the religious and mundane.
Perhaps if the Xian god had some wee empathy for his creation? No?
It's kind of moot, though, isn't it? If the Xian were a mythical invention like the ones believers and unbelievers alike teach their children because it's adorable, he would be harmless and fun. If he were a monster like the unbelievers often present him within the context of a being that is hated, then it transcends the emotional medium in which it's presented. The survivor would want to side with the monster, no matter how vile, in order to survive.
That pisses you off. It's a challenge to your world view, it's a challenge to your so called "morality," intellectualism, etc. But in a practical sense, if based upon any truth, would be impractical in battle against such a being.
We see he frequently gets mad and goes off on a rampage of destruction-- for the slighest of mistakes, too-- like, say, putting out a steady hand to keep the Ark from taking a tumble.
Hypothetically let's say you and I are on the job. I'm training you and I say to you, clearly: "Don't touch this machine, it will kill you." If you touch the machine, dude, don't blame me.
