re: #315 Walter L. Newton

One wonders… even if you believe in G-d, is it possible that these rules are simply a “goof” on humanity? If G-d is capable of being “all and everything” is he/she capable of capricious rules, for his enjoyment.

Oh I think it’s quite obvious that G-d has a sense of humor. How else do you explain him/her leading the Jews all around the Middle East for 40 years to settle in the one place with no oil?
