Pharaoh killed babies and kept slaves. This is retarded as you can get.

[spaz-own-joo.livejournal.com]

So did the Israelites. If you're serious about having a moral aversion to slavery, I've got about a million Biblical follow-up questions for you.

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

And of course, god went and killed EVERY firstborn just because he was pissed off.

[rimpala.livejournal.com]

killing babies,

to punish pharaohs,

for killing babies.

[kip-w.livejournal.com]

That'll teach them! Especially if they take notes.

[red-pill.livejournal.com]

not only that, but god harded pharos heart. then punished him for it.

[rimpala.livejournal.com]

I never... ever... understood that!

I thought humans were supposed to have free will...

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

And, what, the free market didn't allow a better Pharaoh option to come along and seem more attractive to the masses?

[malasadas.livejournal.com]

There's water on my laptop, you bastard.

[kharmii.livejournal.com]

What is this even...it's ancient Egypt. What free market? A better bicycle that seemed more attractive to the masses wasn't likely to come around either.

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

Look ma'am I am a traditionalist and I like things being done traditionally. If it was good enough for Egypt then it is good enough for me now. Men and women marrying, buildings shaped like giant triangles, mummies, all of it.

[rimpala.livejournal.com]

not to mention homosexuality was neither explicitly condoned or condemned back then, or at least there isn't enough records to say otherwise, must have been great...

Also women had considerably more rights then other parts of the ancient world.

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

No one could keep Abbot and Costello away like a mummy.

I mean, maybe the wolfman, but that's just stupid.

[rimpala.livejournal.com]

I prefer the wolfman, he seems more liberated

[pacotelic.livejournal.com]

Also royalty ran on tight incest. Royal blood and all that.

[telemann.livejournal.com]

God YOU SLAY ME! :P

[namey.livejournal.com]

And your first born.

[rimpala.livejournal.com]

But killing babies gave the baby killers jobs!

And being a slave is a job, it's a job that's forced upon you, but it's a job...

[anfalicious.livejournal.com]

Just like the Job Creators(tm)!

God opposes the state.

[byrontengu.livejournal.com]

apparently unless the state goes to war in Iraq.

[farchivist.livejournal.com]

Not true. See the following:

"Civil authority is of God, not by any revelation or positive institution, but by the mere fact that God is the Author of Nature, and Nature imperatively requires civil authority to be set up and obeyed. Nature cannot tolerate intemperance, nor anarchy either. And what Nature absolutely requires, or absolutely refuses as incompatible with her well-being, God commands, or God forbids. God then forbids anarchy; and in forbidding anarchy He enjoins submission to authority. In this sense, God is at the back of every State, binding men in conscience to observe the behests of the State within the sphere of its competence...The one point fixed by nature, and by God, is that there must be authority everywhere, and that the authority existent for the time being, under such and such a form, be under that form obeyed; for since there is no actual authority in the country except under that form, to refuse to obey that is to refuse authority simply, and to revert to anarchy, which is against nature: just as a man having nothing but bread and cheese to eat, and refusing to eat his bread and cheese, under pretence that he much prefers mutton, condemns himself to starvation, which again is unnatural."

[michael barnett (from livejournal.com)]

Whoever wrote that is an idiot.

[farchivist.livejournal.com]

As the other person stated, it's Catholic doctrine.

Doctrine = Division

[marccohen.livejournal.com]

That's Catholic Doctrine. The problem with doctrine is that it's from men. And we all know how perfect and wonderful people are, especially those in positions of authority.

[artkouros.livejournal.com]

And, the Hebrews stole their Egyptian neighbors blind before they left.

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

Its ok if god says its ok. Strange how he always agrees with the priests....

[pacotelic.livejournal.com]

It's a real pity Baal-worshippers or the Hittites don't still have many operating churches. I'd like the get the other side of the story.

I won't make the joke that follows from this.
