You get used to it. (The latter two, just to clarify.)
Twenty years later, they sadly wonder why you don't trust them.

Don't blame God for this bullshit, none of those rules came on stone tablets.

Elzi wasn't blaming God. He was mocking those who interpret God in such a way. They will tell you until they're blue in the face that God loves you, but you're going to hell, unless you follow these rules (that other people have interpretted for God) and that you live a sinful horrible life.
