God Over Did It

There are many moments in which God's actions seem illogical. Why did God put man in such a hard situation with the tree of the prohibited fruit? Why did he make Abraham believe he was to kill his son? As Sarita said, God is a king of bully, playing with man's emotions.
In chapters 8-15 of the Exodus, we can see how the LORD (again), does things that are unnecessary to give out the message he wants to transmit. He puts Moses in a very harsh situation. God or the LORD used good people to do the things no one wants to do. Why does he punish his messengers? The answer I came up with is that if he asked the people who don't follow him to do such horrible things they would just not do it. God picked out the people who were good and loyal because they wouldn't dare to disobey. We could say God manipulated the naive followers and had them do things he himself didn’t want to do. For example, God told Moses the Pharaoh's heart was to be hardened and gave him all the instructions to what to do when the Pharaoh dared God's power. The LORD already knew what was going to happen but made Moses deal with everything. In a way, the LORD provoked all this just to show how powerful he was. "20: But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go." This is SO contradictory!! Why would God harden the Pharaoh's heart if he sent Moses to set the Hebrews free? This really pisses me off, again we can see how God over did it with his ilogical, unnecessary actions.
