Why is it always two-thirds? Is that God's magic number, or something?

You know, if the enemies of the Hebrews had been as genocidal as the Hebrews the latter would have been exterminated long before the Babylonian captivity.

Praise be to El & Marduk for their generous natures!

Steve, what about - for your next project - all the times in the bible where god is stupid, lame, NON-omnipotent and so on ?

I remember one piece you had where god had to have something explained to him by Moses and another where he couldn't kill some people from the plains, "because they had iron chariots," lol !

How stupid is god, maybe ? or how powerful ?
