Captain Scarlet:" But theism cannot duck this. Either there is truth in the claim that a god murdered the first born of Egypt or there isn't."
fr0d0: "There isn't, because that's an inaccurate representation of the information."
What are you trying to refute here that it did not happen? Or that somehow it was justified because it was God that did it?
10And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land. Exodus 11:10
12For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. Exodus 12:12
It appears in verse 10 that Pharaoh had no choice in the matter since God wanted to prove to the Hebrew that he was their god and that he was the one and only true god. So he used Pharaoh and the Egyptian people to serve as an example to those who disobeyed him. Again not only did he kill every firstborn in all of Egypt but every firstborn of all the livestock as well. Now if that is not a murderous tyrant bastard, then I don't know what is.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
