The Casual Catholics view on Genesis

Gotta say would have been a good read if all the family tree's had been left out. Whole chapters were devoted to this person married that person and they had this many kids and those kids married these persons and had those kids.

Aside from that we definitely see the vengeful god who wiped out all of humanity except for Noah's family and rained fire and brimstone on Sodom because the men there wanted to get freaky with some angels.

It's also interesting to note that God seems to be growing through these passages. We have a transition from a commanding God who orders Adam and eve not to eat the fruit, to a God hating the world so much he destroys it with a flood, to God using a reward system with Abraham, to finally God using dreams to influence people like he did with Joseph and the Pharaoh. It almost seems like God was learning from his mistakes and trying to refine how he dealt with humanity. I'm curious to see God's progression in Exodus, but to save my stamina, I shall reserve that for tomorrow.
