This has me going down some rabbit holes on Wikipedia.
Basically so far, I’ve read about Cain and Able and how God favored Able over Cane, which made Cain jealous enough to kill his brother. To which God curses Cain with a “mark” - which incidentally was used against darker skinned folks by the Christian church to justify racism because dark skin was seen as the “mark” of Cain.
It was because of “human sin and the Nephilim” that the world became corrupted, and this made God want to wipe out humankind for it. Noah being the only good guy left was the chosen one of course. He had to get seven pairs of clean animals and one pair of unclean animals - my Southern Baptist upbringing always taught one pair of each.
After the flood, God didn’t like that humanity was getting along with each other and didn’t like that they were working together to build the Tower of Babel, so he decides it’s better to divide humanity with different languages and “sets them apart with confusion.”
That’s as far as I’ve gotten so far. It’s really interesting given what Ive been taught, compared to what the stories really say. Not to mention, God is truly the OG troll and a huge asshole.
Manipulative and abusive is more like it. A grade-A narcissist, who delights in gaslighting and overpromising to garner control over those he feels are far inferior to him.
No no, what’s actually going on here is it’s a bunch of blizzard fanboys. The aliens they’re talking about are the Naaru and the person talking about the nephalim are blaming diablo 3 players implying they were sucking to many company resources away from WoW.

Old testament God: all powerful. All knowing. All seeing. Somehow constantly surprised.

So a regular dictator. So human of him…
