Stupidity

I read the story of the Israelites after they travelled through Egypt any number of times when I was younger. Each time I asked myself if they got high on camel's piss that made them so stupid to forget God after what He had done for them. Looking back, I realised I didn't even need camel's piss. At least the Israelites took years or a couple of generations to do so. We get annoyed when we do things for people and they don't notice it or forget it after a while. It must be really difficult to be God to deal with this on such a regular basis. If I were God I'd probably just shoot out lightning bolts out of my pinkie and fry the imbecile Joshua at once. Instead, he sends people to get me to straighten my head. Even sent someone in the police force of all places! That's how nice He is. I shan't take His niceness for granted. The Israelites did and suffered and many thousand years later were called stupid by a not too wise Joshua. I don't want the same thing happening to me.
