Yea, that's what the Bible actually says. I even quoted David.I am going by what the bible actually says. Not what people want to believe.Adam and Moses were generations of idolatrous people; their deity was largely indistinguishable from other deities. "None is righteous," lamented David. "No, not one."Id say his actions were pretty darn mean. And other negative characteristic i pointed out earlier.I mean we can lack true understanding of what was written and why. Who was the original author? Who was his original audience? What lesson/theme was he presenting? (Clue: It wasn't about a God who is mean.)What do you mean, my man?
God was easy to blame for atrocities that the people themselves committed (or that were mere acts of nature).
Read it; their forsaking of God is a theme throughout the Old Testament. So as their age declined, they lamented that fact:
For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. (Rom 1:21-23)
