Last night,due to being hyped from coffee and blowing out two tyres on my car, I couldn't sleep. Turned on the Teev at 1 am. There was a remake of "The Ten Commandments" with pretty fair CGI. I saw the original with Chucky Heston when I was 11. The whole (Catholic) school went.. Loved it.What can I say? I was 11.
This time I came in on the plagues of Egypt. By the time YHWH killed all the first born Egyptian children,I had concluded he was dead a cunt.(that's a technical Aussie term for a complete arsehole)
I stopped watching after God's chosen people had massacred the Amalachites (?) and the chosen women wondered around the battlefield murdering the wounded with some gusto.
Also,that the (unnamed) Pharaoh was bit of a dickhead.IE some scruffy nutjob comes into my court making DEMANDS of ME, a living god, I'd execute him just for impertinence,or exile him at the very least.
How on earth did such a nasty, vicious little shit such as YHWH come to be Lord of the universe? (that's a rhetorical question)
PS I've been interested in Egyptian history for a long time. I can't remember ever having come across an account of a pharaoh being killed with his entire army, nor of the invasion and conquest of a helpless Egypt which would have followed immediately. The Hyksos invasion was in the eighteenth century bce, centuries (at least two) before the alleged Exodus.
