There was no global flood.
The dead of Jerusalem didn’t rise when Jesus resurrected ( the Romans would have noticed).
What exactly is the Exodus?
If you believe in the flood isn’t that enough for a Christian?
Yeah maybe you could make comments on Exodus, like "What? God needed houses painted with lamb's blood so that he knows what child to kill? How omnipotent is that? What if someone used wrong blood? And also, isn't it racist to prefer one people out of all other on this planet?"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
