Just be glad that they lost their political clout in everything but local politics. Prohibition didn't appear out of thin air, after all. You still can't buy most alcohol on Sundays in North Carolina.

North Carolina? I'm pretty sure it's US-wide, with possible exceptions.

If you consider "exceptions" to be most of the country, yes.

You know, in D&D, Transmute Liquid is a fourth level wizard spell, and I'm sure there's something against wizardry in the Old Testament.

I am so tempted to go roll a Christ character right now.

You'd be fine, so long as your character is not one who "...who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead...".

The bolded bit could cause problems. I recommend finding a way to get it as a spell-like ability or supernatural ability, instead. Assuming this is 3.5e.

It's almost like YHWH's a level 20 Wizard trying to prevent anyone else from becoming wizards to challenge him.

Just don't anybody look behind the curtain, ya?

I'll be the first to admit that I can be wrong quite often. Thanks for the link.

13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it.
14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies.
...
16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.

This is my WTF for a day.

do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut them down. Are the trees people, that you should besiege them?

Say what you say about God, but he's not a treekiller xD

It's almost like he values trees above humans...

Even God doesn't fuck with Ents.

Yeah, the old testament God is pretty damn evil.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It really shouldn't be WTF, though. The...."proclivities" of OT Yahweh are well known even among Christians these days.

This make far more sense than it should. Oh, and he's probably Lawful Neutral. Lawful's obvious, given how taken the guy is with his rules. That aside, remember that he kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden for eating apples of Knowledge (Good/Evil).

Kill your son!

My only son! But you're God... Okay.

Man drags son out to perform the sacrifice.

LOL, JK. Here's a goat. Sacrifice it instead. You totally fell for it.

It may just be me, but this does not strike me as either Lawful or Neutral.

He ordered one of his followers to do something, clearly expecting it to be carried out. His follower promptly did so. He then revealed it to be a test of loyalty and told his follower to do something different as a reward (which he did). Lawful.

He did something cruel (ordered a follower to kill their child in his name) with good intentions--from his perspective, anyways--and, when his intention was fulfilled, did something good (allowed the follower to kill an animal in his name, which was common practice for worship at the time, and thus about as Good as you'll get in the historical context). He favored neither good nor evil, using them as tools for his own ends. Neutral.
