how can anybody think they were actual slaves in Egypt? so many of the verses completely contradict this fact. just like with the babylon slavery.. somehow they were slaves, yet occupied so many of the top positions in their govt. the assyrian story makes no sense either.. why would they take so many slaves, then deposit them to their north? you take slaves, divide them, put them on farms, then whip them into obedience, and kill any who wont behave. of course the roman one, the only one we have a good amount of proof on, is the only one which makes sense.. they killed most of the males, took the land for themselves, took the women as slaves, and those slaves lost their identity. judaism only continued because so many jews were spread out living in other cities. it certainly wasn't the slaves who kept it going. this is also how every other true conquer and enslavement story pans out in history... except of course the ones in the bible, which have so many flaws in them. it's pretty obvious that jewish revolution was the 'plague' in egypt. through banking they hoarded its wealth, then tried to destroy the country from within, or possibly they tried to take over and failed, then left with their 'plunder'. how the fuck else are 'slaves' supposed to plunder the most powerful nation on earth?
