14. A micron? Seriously?

Between actual human beings, and a mythological deity? Please.

NONE of the Exodus happened. None of it. Not the plagues, not the wandering in the desert (Takes about 10 days to get from Cairo to Jerusalem on foot, if you're not in a hurry).

It's a story about a angry petulant god that really shouldn't be worth worshipping by any critical-thinking person. From the flood, to Exodus, promised lands, etc, it's a genocide-first-ask-questions-later jealous tyrant.

The Hebrews alleged to have been slaves in Egypt (no evidence) weren't alleged to have carried out the plagues, and no where did I suggest they did so, so you can kindly withdraw that bullshit.

Item 2; Mostly agree, except in the case alleged in the bible, the oppressor was MADE to be an oppressor, and PREVENTED from relenting. That's a moral outrage in itself, on top of the slavery.

Passover, as your article makes clear, okasha Apr 2017 #18

Small, atypical, but christian nevertheless. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #19

Of course they won't. That's why they call it 'passover'. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #33
