    Funny thing. I had an illustrated kid’s Bible when I was young. The angels clearly told Lot’s feeling family not to look back. Figured it was a FAFO lesson.

    Just got done reading the story. No one told anyone not to look back.

      No, the angels told them. It’s still stupid. God kills a woman for looking back, he kills a kid for picking up sticks on the sabbath, he kills a guy who tries to keep the ark of the covenant from tipping over. He calls up a bear to maul 42 children because they called one of his prophets baldy.

      The Biblical God’s just complete bullshit, honestly.
