I'm trying to make a point regarding the way J* views the God He/She creates in the Book of Genesis. In general, I feel a predisposition toward things like childish, creating things out of nothing without any real plan, and not truly taking responsibility for the things he creates. Adam and Eve eat from a Tree I specifically told them not to eat from? Well, I didn't see that coming... Humans are being bad, huh? Well, I'll just kill them all. They're building a giant tower, huh? I'll spread them out and give them different languages.
Basically, I feel like he's winging it to an extent, improvising and trying to figure out as he goes along what to do with this situation he's created.
How do you feel about the portrayal of God within Genesis? What is your evidence of this?
* J is the scholarly name given to the Author of Genesis.
