One would think with all the evangelical councils trying to sort out which scriptures belonged in the Christian canon, someone would have actually read them and identified all the continuity problems. It almost sounds like the various bishops of the early Church just voted for their favourites without being arsed to read anyone else's favourites.
I can think of a far more elegant way for the OT god to eliminate all the mortals that displeased it, without causing collateral damage in the animal kingdom: Temporarily render all the good people blind and then just wander around exposing its "no one can look upon me and live"-ness, causing bad people to just keel over dead.
And if anyone is doing NaNoWriMo this year and needs a plot or subplot, feel free to steal this.
