Quote: When they did that, God punished them.
God makes pharao go to war, and then punishes him, - god = sick fuck.
Quote: He knew they wouldn't let Israel go,
yeah, because he didnt let the pharao let them go, he "hardend pharaos heart" read your fairytales yourself.
Quote:waited for it to happen, and them punished them accordingly. God took no action that influenced what Pharaoh did

as shown above.
Quote:, except, maybe, not destroying the land of Egypt with a giant fireball on the day it became a nation, so they wouldn't enslave the Israelites hundreds of years later under and entirely new government.
irrelevant to subject
