first of all I thougtt you said that the bible is and I quote complete and utter farce. the Egyptians killed every newborn hebrew child. Egypt also owed joseph for saving them from famine and dying from starvation. if the egyptians had just let the israelites go NONE of it would have happened. also while Moses could have publicly told the people that those things were going to happen they probably wouldn't have believed him. they believed in the egyptian gods. phaaroah was whipping and beating israelite slaves. the egyptians took hebrew sons from their mothers and killed them. while the egyptians weren't completely responsible for the deaths they didn't try to stop the deaths either. if they had told pharaoh that they were agaisnt what he was doin then maybe he wouold have stopped. in other words the egyptians LET it happen. it's called justice. the definition of which is "fairness or reasonableness espescially in the way people are treated or in the way decisions are made" Phaoroah knew why the things were happening but he didn't let the people go
to another of your earlier points about God always destroying and not building up. It is always because the people have forsaken God. If we turn our backs on him he has the right to do the same to us. However he DIDN"T completely turn his back on us. he sent his only son to die for our sins. Jesus even had a choice. he chose to die on the cross.
about your earlier comment of noah's flood. he warned people. he tried to get the people to repent but they wouldn't. therefore God had two choices. either let them live and let the world become corrupted or destroy his creation. which would you have done? you would have done the same thing if you could have. every time God destroyed something he had good reason for it. If he decides to destroy the world again then it's probably because opf the same reason. however I doubt he will as long as there are enough good people left.
you're looking at everything in terms of black and white. which is idiotic. you also give people WHAT God did but not WHY he did it. if you just tell people what somebody did and not why then they'll suspect the person is a horrible person.
also to somebody's earlier comment about the crusades in the previous thread. the christian knights had no right to take jerusalem for themselves but neither did the saracens
also on a more cheerful note congrats on getting married. My router wasn't working so I couldn't get on and tell you before.
