They didn't call him the "Napoleon of Egypt" because he couldn't swim.

RE: 10 Commandments (remake)
The viscousness of "god's people" and god himself in the OT is a large part of what finally made me decide that christianity is BS. God is supposedly omnipresent and never changing, yet in the OT he mercilessly slaughters who knows how many people at the hands of his people, just because they were born in the wrong city. Most of those people probably had never even heard of YHWH and were just chilling when this bunch of angry crazies came into their town and slaughtered every man, woman, child, and animal. Then in the NT he suddenly stops being a murderous dick, and Jesus (who is supposed to be part of the trinity of god) comes around telling people to love each other and teach god's love to everyone. If god never changes, why the hell did he randomly decide one day that everybody could be saved? What about all those people he slaughtered, are they just chilling in the "lobby" waiting for judgement thinking "damn, I got screwed just because I was born too early!"?

It's stupid.

I actually had one christian tell me that the god of the OT and the god of the NT were different.

Like the NT one was god 2.0.

How he arrived at that conclusion has me totally fucked.

He's embarrassed at the contradiction. That's actually a Marcionite view, though. YHWH was this second string god concerned with mundane matters and jesus was a higher god.

Of course, Marcion and all his followers were declared heretics by the xtians.

You know the more I here about the Bible the more rediculous it sounds. I will never understand how people can buy into that shit. And by the way, Yul Brynner was hot in that movie.

I've had several people present that point to me. I have no idea where they get that from. James 1:17 says pretty clearly that God doesn't change.

It's because God is bipolar. http://www.theonion.com/articles/god-dia...order,348/

However, the Egyptians keep excruciatingly detailed records and failed to record the Hebrews in their midst. Tens of thousands of slaves went unreported, needed no logistics, no supervisors/overseeers? Doubting that.

But they also failed to record the great flood which happened right in the middle of the old kingdom.

Wait.....
Ditto the Chinese, another great record-keeping group. Strange that their civilizations bounced back so quickly after the Great Floyd.

The Great Floyd? I think I want to start a religion worshiping Pink Floyd.
