Because the Exodus story is just that - a story which shows that if you do not love God he will make things rough for you (at the very least).
If you really ‘teach the Bible’ you should be familiar with the verse in Deuteronomy that explicitly says that God loves only those who love him back. This is not a tenable description of s being who the Bible describes as love itself.

People who hate God, walk away from God. And people have the right to do so.
Thanks.
