    It’s a crossover between Judaism and Irish fairy folklore. God can do everything except he can’t touch iron because it burns him.

    They just try to downplay that because knowing God’s weakness kind of pokes a hole in that whole omnipotence thing.

    I mean, to play devil’s advocate, God being with Judah could have just been a colloquial way of saying they were successful, not necessarily that God couldn’t defeat an army with tricked-out wheels.

      What’s the point in being the chosen people of a god if the god can’t even be bothered to help you conquer some heathens?

        Apparently, getting to genocide the direct descendants of your God’s all-human all-God all-Spirit Earthly manifestation 2500 years later

        Fair enough. Fun may resume at will.

          But alas fun could not resume, for they had jokes of iron.

            Could God tell a joke so bad that even He couldn’t laugh at it?

              any of your dad’s jokes should work.

        Ok, it’s the devil’s advocate, but they’re still playing.

    Our god gave us the hills nobody lived and can’t farm.

    That rich farmland must have already been claimed by a different god.

      Dude created a world mostly filled with water, and His People can’t even drink it.

    Terrible writing. “They” presumably refers to two different groups within the same sentence.

      That’s perfectly fine with a complex sentence that clearly refers to a separate group before the second usage.

      It also wasn’t originally written in English.
