Dismal theology-related headline of the day

Did God Try to Kill Moses?

Y’all will not be surprised to learn that it is Albert the Pious, the Very Mightiest Theologian Of Them All, who undertakes to answer this vexing question.

I’m no theologian*, but I imagine that He who flung bazillions of planets and stars and galaxies into orbit, and numbers the hairs on our heads, and knows all about the affairs of every crummy sparrow on earth, could have squashed ol’ Moses pretty easily — no try about it; so I’m guessing … No. But perhaps those more learned than I would like to weigh in.

But while we’re on the subject of Moses and I’m opening the floor to theologians, perhaps somebody could explain to me that thing where God gave Moses a peek at his butt; it has a distinctly Cub Scout-ish whiff.
