I get what you're saying,but I dunno I never got the idea he was happy to do it, I mean, it was the last plague and if you look at all the plagues they kinda ...build up.

Its definitely fucked up to do, but I guess I always saw/taught it as a thing of more, "See how shitty and awful this is for you? well THAT'S what you did to these other people when you ordered the death of a bunch of Hebrew firstborns to 'cut down the numbers'.

That...really does not make it better. 'I'm not *happy* about killing babies, but i''m gonna do it!! I have *so much power*, I can turn a river to blood and make the sky go dark at noon, but I won't use that power in any way other than to kill babies.'

Yeah, awesome. 'God' is apparently vengeful and petty, and likes to fuck people over 'just cause'. Yucko.

That's totally fair.

Especially since, as per the Bible, God literally hardened Ramses' heart Himself.

And does anyone remember Job? Like. That shit was *fucked up*.

Re: DA

Definitely agree that the plagues built up. They were a warning ("stop the bad thing you're doing or things will get worse") and in the movie movie Moses even begged Ramses to change his mind before the last plague because he knew it would be something terrible.

I don't know where people get the idea that God is either heroic or petty. God just is. Ascribing human emotions and motivations to an omniscient deity is kind of missing the point.

IDK, there are two disinctly different versions of God in the bible. The vengeful type, mostly found in the OT and the merciful one, usually in the NT. It's actually pretty telling for the time the stories originated in and the surrounding cultures/understandings of what Gods do and don't do.

That's anti-semitic bullshit. I mean, I'm a Christian, but there is tonnes about God's mercy in the Hebrew Bible/ OT, and Revelation and some of Jesus' teaching on judgement is pretty damn smitey.
