Sometimes the deeper meaning of these stories becomes completely lost when unnecessary God-inflicted punishments reveal a reckless and dismissive side of His persona; especially as it pertains to his most loyal servants. But these stories aren't really about a projected/anthropomorphized God that sits in heaven, are they?
That's the stuff Jesus understood, and why they had to get rid of him. He exposed all the lies of the fairy tales that were used to create a system of legalism that shackled (and still to this day, do) the mind/soul of people.
