What did God do exclusively and directly by himself?
I'm not a biblical scholar, but I do like to discuss the God/religion biz. I know that he is credited with:
1. Creating everything including all life. 2. Killing everyone and all life on earth, save that one lucky boatload of people and animals on Noah's Ark. What else is he credited with doing directly? David God and religion, the oldest scam in existence, and it still sucks them in today. |

Well, he uh...
Well, he also had some fun with that poor bloke named Job, and he led a family to a 2000 model car when they thought they couldn't afford anything newer than something from 1997. That's all I can think of right now...

Well just look around the world...
Apparently the guy is credited with: -putting the food on our table (sorry farmers, you're being paid for nothing) -Saving people from a disaster while many others die -Blessing sports teams or individuals in competition/winning awards like Grammys, Oscars (all that hard work and practice they did was all for naught?) All jokes aside, I believe he's also credited for giving orders to Kings to have sex with their maids and not wives. (Genesis something:something) |

Thanks guys, but I mean things that he did directly with his own hand, not things that people did because he told them to, and all I can think of right now are these two. Are there more?

He supposedly ordered the wiping out of the Canaanites as well as the family of King Ahab of Israel and King Jeroboam too.

But in no way is this remark to infer that the Virgin Mary or the offspring of the Immaculate Conception, bear any guilt in this affair, they are of course blameless. How could Mary refuse God's will after all, the omnipotent one was a hard guy to resist by definition.  And his boy (himself?) couldn't be held to blame, for he had no control over who his parents were and how they got together. There are no illegitimate children after all, only illegitimate parents.
