Okay. I was thinking about Pass Over. First of all, I'm not clear on one thing. When god sent all the maladies into Egypt, was it all of the non-Jews who suffered? Or, just the Egyptians? What about the non-Jewish slaves? Did they all suffer the same torture as the Egyptians? If so, that wasn't fair.
Also, after all the horrible things... then god gets to kill the babies?? What gives with that? I mean the supreme intelligence in the universe and the best he can come up with is kill the babies? How about put the Egyptians to sleep for a week while the Jews leave? Or, blind the Egyptians for a week. Of course, that wouldn't have been an act that would instill the fear of god in everyone.
Then again, there's the story of King David and Uriah. David kills Uriah so he can have his wife. So, what does god do? Kill the baby! Yeah, another great solution. How about making David's genitals fall off instead!
It just makes you think.
