Can you see all that Blasphemy agains God in the Bible?
All that blasphemy against God in the Bible - Who is the Biblical God.
The Bible treats God as if He was a folklore hero. Just a few examples:
1. God is portrayed in the bible as belonging only to the Hebrews. See for example, Exodus 5:3, 9:1, 10:3, etc.
1. 2King (5:15): There is no God in all the earth, but in Israel.
God unaware of what he created:
"And God said, let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good". This goes on for everything that is created which God finds to be "good" , not knowing the mischief the "man" will be capable of doing. If He did create man in his own image (Gen 1:27) then why did man not know the difference between good and evil?
I also gave them statutes that were not good and judgements they could not live by.
Had that first covenant been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.
Satan knows better than God, or was God cheating:
God forbade man from eating the fruit of a certain tree of knowledge.
"from the day that thou eateth thereof thou shalt surely die".
Apparently, God was not telling the truth and wanted man to remain ignorant, without knowledge. But man proved to be clever and gave names to every creature. This happened even before the woman was created.
After the woman is created Satan comes to her in the form of a serpent and tells her "ye shall surely not die" (Genesis 3-4).
Satan turns out to be right as after eating the forbidden fruit the man and the woman not only did not die, but as Lord God said, "Behold, the man is become as one of us to know good and evil" (Genesis 3:22).
Apologists state that the death that God mentioned was spiritual, not physical. If it were so then Adam (and Eve) should have died only spiritually, but not physically as they did.
God jealous of his own creation?
Deuteronomy (4:24): The Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
And the Lord came to see the city and the tower (of Babel) which the children of man builded. And the Lord said Behold, the people are one, and they have all one language, and this is they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's 'speech".
And they heard the voice of God walking in the garden.
Genesis (5:22-24): And Enoch walked with God.
Job (22:14): He walks on the boundary between earth and sky.
Footnote: The horizon was regarded as a great circle where the earth met the sky and where God inspected the earth by walking around it.
Genesis (2:2): " And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all of his work which he had made." Yet Jesus Contradicted this "My Father has never yet ceased his work. (John 5:17).
Genesis (3:9): And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou?
Genesis (3:11): And he said... Hast thou eaten of the tree?
Genesis (4:9): And the Lord said unto Caine, where is Abel, thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I not brother's keeper?
Genesis (18:20-26): And the Lord said, because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous: I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me, and if not, I will know... And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.

Arrogance is not only a sign of insecurity, it's a sign of immaturity. Mature and fully-realized persons can get their points across, even emphatically without demeaning or intimidating others.
