Alright so the next thing we read was Genesis from the Bible, right? We spent a long time on this one. I'll talk about something that I don't think we touched on much but was in the back of my mind the whole time we read this. Does the character of God change through Genesis? I think his character changes in so much as he acts differently toward humans in different parts of Genesis. With Adam and Eve, it kind of seems like God sets them up for failure by only making one rule, to not touch the fruit of the tree of knowledge, which he places right in the middle of the garden. Adam and Eve, as humans, were bound to try the fruit sometime. The snake just kind of sped things along. Then with Noah he was ruthless. God hadn't really supplied any rules on how to live outside the garden yet and so as people became more corrupt (because of normal human behavior) God got pissed. Only one man was worth not killing. Then even later he told Abraham to kill his son. Which is messed up and is against God's own rules. Luckily at the last second (literally) God stops the whole mess and Abraham sacrifices a ram instead. I think God earlier in Genesis would have just let Abraham kill Isaac and then reprimanded Abraham for killing him.
