I was raised Catholic and I would summarize the faith as it was passed to me as an exercise in envy. Even the premise of your quote is the same: "Your puny ways of life are vain and laughable, because you do not want to listen to me and do as I tell you". Pad this into a few verses, flower it up with medieval language - and your God is speaking. Discussion not welcome, because only I, as a believer, can understand the arcane nuance of my verses. Bow down and submit.

Referring to the other comment about human morals evolving - religion is evolving as well, although it learned to cover it up. Catholicism is my favorite here, because it's perfected the art of bullshitting itself. For example, divorce is not allowed - but if you look for "evidence" that the partner has misled you into a marriage, then we call it "Marriage never happened" and boom - your not-a-divorce has been granted. Abortion suddenly in the spotlight? It's because our understanding has evolved and it's only now that we see that it's never been acceptable. And so on.
