Loving understanding god?

Numbers 11:1 says, “And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.”  The people complain and god kills them with fire.  I sure am glad Moses prayed so the mad god would stop killing the unhappy people.  Maybe Moses should have prayed sooner.  Then maybe god would have held off on the fire.  This should be a lesson to all who believe in this god.  Always be happy and never complain of your toast.
