To me, the actual main problem with the interactions between Moses (as a proxy for Yahweh) and Pharaoh…

… Is that for the majority of ultimatums that God instructs Moses to give to Pharoah… God also ‘hardens his/Pharoah’s heart’, which compels Pharoah to not comply.

Like, outside or above the scale of things threatened… God literally mind controls Pharoah, manipulates his emotions, and forces him into saying no, not acquiescing or truly negotiating.

This happens multiple times.

So now… God isn’t just an asshole threatening insane plaugues and death… God is just puppeting Pharoah at these key moments, so basically God is orchestrating this entire chain of events… he was in total control the whole time… God is thus just punishing the Egyptians, while also doing a kabuki theatre, a false flag, whatever, to make it look like they actually had choices and chances to avoid this, to make it look like they willingly defied his will… when this was not the case.

This takes God from a belligerent asshole into now also being a sociopathic, deceptive manipulator.

Its abuser mentality.

If that happened, it wasn’t that bad.

If it was that bad, you deserved it.
