Depending on your reading, God was still trying to make a point so he didn't let him let the slaves go. OR it was Ra who made his heart hard so not Yahweh's fault. OR if you want to go a really round about way God made him a hard in the sense he created him with a hard heart.

They way the 10 commandments are worded, it's could be interpreted that other gods do exist under Christianity. They just aren't to be worshiped because God is the OG.

Perhaps, even, other gods have power.

Actually, another interpretation is that the Pharaoh had hardened his own heart, so God gave him up on him. So there's that.

Like, I wouldn't mind if it was like "GOD WAS PISSED THAT PHARAOH CONSIDERED HIMSELF A DEITY AND PRAISED A SUN BIRD AND A JACKAL MAN INSTEAD OF JEHOVA, SO HE KILLED THEM ALL FOR THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS", that is at least some clear motivation.

But rigging the results like that just doesn't seem kosher.

I don't remember there ever being a mention of it before the New Testament, so yeah. He probably did. It's really no wonder the jews kept worshiping false idols when the only advantage of being God's chosen people was that he'd get even angrier at them and kill them more often. Granted, he killed the pagans too. But they had the benefit of being ignored unless he had some free time between sessions of being really fucking pissed at the jews.

To be fair it makes a lot of sense when you REALLY think about it.
Yeah God is real, so are other gods or atleast they're believed to be.
This god in particular is a big fan of tough love ie testing the fuck out of their faith.
And this is before you were rewarded with either eternal paradise or Resurrection and immortality, so it's basically adhere to god's law because it's his law.
It's easy enough to say "don't eat pig and shellfish, mix fabric, or do shit on saturday" but it gets kind of frustrating when you keep that up for 40 years with occasional shit shat on you from the heavens.

Fun fact: the Hebrews were significantly better than any of the nations they were vacating. A lot of their social policies were pretty progressive for the time they lived in, even if they look ass-backwards today. We're talking about a nation that had to be commanded not to burn their children as sacrifices because all the cool kids on the block were into it.

The actual current theory is that the Hebrew Bible was compiled and redacted during the period when the Persians were in the process of conquering Egypt, and, as a Persian vassal state, the Bible was re-written to make the Egyptians seem like bigger assholes.

Also, there's literally no record of a major exodus of Jewish slaves from Egypt. If the Egyptians are known for anything, it was their great record keeping, and a major slave rebellion would have been something that was definitely noted.

He's an artist. Any fictional character in a dramatic or 'serious' work would say the same of their creator.

Ever considered how one can 'love' all ones creations, and yet still damn them? An artist does this when they create a villain or monster properly and intimately.

You get inside their head, you know them you love them; you crafted their entire life, their everything to synch up perfectly with your heros, to exploit flaws and highlight commonalities. Yet, in the end, they were fashioned to be discarded.

The clown guy was one of his henchmen who came in at the end after mario weakened him, betrayed him, and then took the chaos heart's power for himself

After mario beats Dimento, Bleck and Timpani are reunited, and everyone is happy once again

Everyone had slaves back then. Even the Jews started enslaving after they got out of that desert.

It was nowhere near the level of Rome or other larger empires though. And most slaves were probably from Kush or random tribes in the levant, Jews would still have been the minority.

>Historically, there were no Jews in Bronze Age Egypt (the setting of Exodus and, long before that, of the pyramids' erection), because there were no Jews at all until the rise of the kingdom of Judah in the Iron Age. Israelites first appear in the archeological record on the Merneptah Stele from between 1208-3 BCE; right at the end of the Bronze Age. A reasonably Bible-friendly interpretation is that they were a federation of Habiru tribes of the hill-country around the Jordan River. Presumably, this federation consolidated into the kingdom of Israel, and Judah split from that, during the dark age that followed the Bronze. The Bronze Age term "Habiru" was more general than the Biblical "Hebrew"; it referred simply to Levantine nomads, of any religion or ethnicity. Mesopotamian, Hittite, Canaanite, and Egyptian sources discuss them largely as bandits, mercenaries, and slaves. Certainly, there were some Habiru slaves in ancient Egypt; but native Egyptian kingdoms were not heavily slave-based

Slavery in ancient Egypt wasn't the same as slavery in pre-civil war America. A large percentage of the population was slaves, but they weren't treated like disposable cattle, they had rights, could own property and marry. They were technically "owned" by someone but it was more serfdom than what modern sensibilities understand as slavery and really not all that different from the lives of medieval European peasants who only existed to provide resources for their lords.
