Totally God’s fault, cause that like never happens.
He really is in the old testament, and his cognate deities in other semitic cultures is pretty fucked up too IIRC.
Let’s just say there’s a reason why one such semitic deity shares their name with the D&D 5th edition god of murder slaughter and betrayal and who’s main worshiper in their primary setting believes a righteous act of devotion is to impregnate your own daughter for the explicit purpose of murdering the incestuous offspring, and only going back on that because the girl got her mom first.
