    A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.

    The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

      I’ve heard this a few times and wholeheartedly believe it. But I don’t know any sources, when I’m asked. Do you happen to know any?

        I would have said god is a fascist. There’s a real “do what I’ve decided is best for you, or there will be hell to pay” (pun intended) vibe throughout his interactions with humanity.

        But he does always seem to need money, so maybe you have a point.

          He himself does not need money, he’s just too stingy to finance his representatives on earth raping children.
