And the younger son did? You must be joking!
As for the verses, don't forget the Flood and the Firstborn of Egypt, and the slaughters in Chronicles and the Kings. There is enough curelty in the Bible to write a spearate book on it.

Do you think God was offended as it was ?
Do you not think that He presented the parable in the way that He wished ?
