I got bored and had a quick read through the bible, and found a sector I enjoyed thoroughly. It's about god "freeing" the Israelites from Egypt. Now my views on it are as such.
To free the Jews from the slavery HE bound them to, god waged biowar against a helpless nation of people WHO HAD NO IDEA why all this horrible stuff was killing them.
Moses spoke to Pharaoh who is never mentioned making public proclamations about the next plague to strike so they could keep their pet Jews.
No "the Jews god is now going to kill every firstborn in the land but we are still refusing to give the Jews permission to leave, I will not be swayed.
will the firstborns of each family please report to their nearest graveyard to help out our currently overstressed corpse transportation oxen, love, pharaoh."
God literally used Weapons of Mass Destruction on a bronze age population.
To steal SOME slaves.
As opposed to Creating a 100 foot cube of gold and buying them back from the folks he sold them to.
God apparently would have sustained the Jews during their journey, during which god lit a fire in the camp that burned thousands to death, set loose a plague that killed thousands more, and caused the ground to open up and swallow entire families sending them straight to hell, families INCLUDING their slaves.
As punishment.
As opposed to assigning an angel to each offender to swat them about the head and shoulders with a rolled up newspaper while shouting " BAD HUMAN, NO! NO!" for a week.
It also states that god would decimate their enemies in the land. Again, genocide, mass killings, slaughter of entire nations.
Instead of Creating nice, air conditioned, apartment buildings, or just giving the current occupants an urge to go somewhere else and make new nations, North America for instance, a few ark building tips and a favorable breeze and uncounted thousands of children's blood need not have been shed.
Destruction, never construction. No building up, only tearing down.
