What's the point of omnipotence if you are reduced to being an impotent spectator? It's a bit pathetic, isn't it?

The Old Testament Yahweh had no qualms at all about interfering, smiting various unsuspecting people, and saving the righteous. He turned Lot's wife into a pillar of salt, IIRC. Is this Yahweh the same one as the current hands-off version?

Christianity seems to have quite an unseemly interest in "smut", as you put it. All sorts of restrictions on various bedroom activities are in force. Ironic given that Jesus's mother was an unmarried teenage parent.
