It’s Passover — the annual week-long reminder that in the Bible, “God” killed a LOT of children.
A lot.
Oh, you did not know? Huh. Have you actually READ the Bible?
Probably not, or you'd be an atheist. You see, a close reading of the Bible reveals God *hates* babies, children, and women.
How many pregnant mothers and babies were wiped out the Noah's flood?
And what about Exodus 12 where baby killing is commanded or caused by God? "On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord."
In Exodus 4:22-23 we find more baby killing: "Then you must tell him that I, the Lord, say, 'Israel is my first born son. I told you to let my son go, so that he might worship me, but you refused. Now I am going to kill your first-born son.'"
In Numbers 31:17, God tells Moses: "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him" (in other words: women that might be pregnant).
In 1 Samuel 15:1-8, the killing of mothers and babies continues: "Now listen to what the Lord Almighty says. He is going to punish the people of Amalek because their ancestors opposed the Israelites... With 210,000 soldiers they killed all the men, women, children, babies, cattle, camels and donkeys."
In 2 Samuel 12:11-19, God kills more babies: "Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee ... the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. ... And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. ... David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead."
I will not even mention God sending two bears to kill 42 children for making a bad bald-man joke.
Oh, and “God is all-knowing”?
Huh.
If he’s all-knowing, how come all those doors needed to be marked so that God would “pass over” the doors of the Israelites?
