Evisceration of the Exodus myth

Actually despite being a History Teacher, I never really thought about this.  Though to be fair I don't teach that far back. One would think there would be sufficient evidence.  I'm curious, is there even any evidence that the jews were enslaved in Egypt at all?

Not only no evidence, it actually conflicts with a lot of what we do know about Egypt in that time period, not the least of which is that Egypt owned the territory to which the Israelites supposedly fled during the conquest of Joshua, at the time when the story is claimed to have happened. It would be a bit like saying "We fled the United States and went to Alaska". 

There were definitely workers of semitic origin throughout the region, as we have some inscriptions possibly dating back as far as 1700 BCE that use a proto-alphabet system loosely modeled on the Egyptian Heiroglyphs, which would later be developed into the Canaanite/Phonecian script that became our modern alphabet, but that in no way demonstrates that the workers were Hebrew, let alone an enslaved whole population of them.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
