You just posted lyrics to one of the songs, which is your answer. The music fucking made that movie.

reminder that moses was the original terrorist and that he and his people killed and destroyed anyone who didn't believe in his god. even killed the tribe of nomads who saved him from the desert because they still prayed to their old gods

The writing was good, the music was good and the animation was amazing. Dreamworks at that stage knew how to use color and light to its advantage more than any other production company this (and road to el dorato) should have revolutionized things and set a new standard for how movies look and feel, but it seems we went wrong somewere

The movie was the last great accomplishment of traditional American animation before it was raped to death by CGI

It's not consistently great, but the highs are amazing. Deliver Us and the Burning Bush scene were both superb.

>that he and his people killed and destroyed anyone who didn't believe in his god
No they didn't, they were perfectly willing to pass by pagans who didn't trouble and coexist with them. God ordered them to destroy certain groups for their wickedness, which was centuries in the making, or attacking Israel itself.

>even killed the tribe of nomads who saved him from the desert
No, he didn't. Desert Santa's group isn't synonymous with all Midians. The group the Israelites attacked was for tempting them with apostasy in a specific effort to weaken and destroy Israel.

>why was this movie so damn GOOD?
Good question. Animated movies are tricky because there are often multiple directors credited and it's difficult to say how much control they had and who was the most influential one. In this case it was probably a 50/50 split between Simon Wells and Brenda Chapman.

Also god damn, Wells flopped himself out of directing for a decade with Time Machine, and then probably killed his career for good with Mars Needs Moms.

Once I called you brother
Once I thought the chance to make you laugh
Was all I ever wanted...
And even now I wish that God
Had chose another
Serving as your foe on his behalf
Is the last thing that I wanted...This was my home
All this pain and devastation
How it tortures me inside
All the innocent who suffer
From your stubbornness and pride...You who I called brother
Why must you call down another blow?Let my people go

This movie is actually hilarious garbage because in the process of making the plot more complex they made their villain so sympathetic that the original biblical intent is blasted out of the water. This movie told me "God is good and Moses wins" and I walked away with it thinking "I'm so glad I'm an atheist because I wanna marry Ramses"

Also the movie is so good on a technical level because the creators were a bunch of Disney defectors who were known at the time for making The Lion King. So basically all the heavy hitters of the 90s got together and decided to show up Disney, so they had to put their all into it.

>>84705404

I got chills at "AND THERE SHALL BE A GREAT CRY HEARD THROUGHOUT EGYPT SUCH AS THERE HAS NEVER BEEN, NOR EVER WILL BE AGAIN".

>>84706158
Why does the movie become garbage by retelling the story of Exodus in a way that makes Ramses more sympathetic and egyptians less like one-dimensional villains?

Man listen your faith or lack thereof is your prerogative but as a general rule in life and especially on the internet don't go boasting about your atheism.
Regardless if they are or not, every time someone says "I'm glad i'm an atheist" they just sound like a huge narcissistic asshole on par with any holier than thou Wednesday and Sunday service Christian.
Seriously if you want people to know you don't believe in God then keep that shit agnostic or vaguely nihilistic and people will put two and two together.
Otherwise you are just asking to be dismissed as an "intellectual" fedora tipper.

24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.

Depending on how you read the "burning sulfur...out of the heavens" part, God just up and dropped a fucking meteorite on Sodom and Gomorrah.

Except Ramses was always a sympathetic villain. It was Ra who continuously hardened his heart against Moses and the plight of his people. Its why the final plague is YHWH killing Ra and putting out the sun.

>>84706158

God fucks Pharaoh's shit up because he wants to make an example of him. "This is what happens when you mess with my chosen people".

Whether Rameses was actually not that bad of a guy or not is irrelevant. He and his family are responsible for subjugating and abusing the Israelites, and this is God's answer for that injustice.

Remember, this is the Old Testament where EVERYONE fucks up at some point or another, and since sin is sin before God's eyes, it is visited upon by temporal retribution. Even Moses was barred from entering the Holy Land himself because he doubted God before drawing water from a rock in the desert.

>>84709081
nah, the ten commandments literally say that YHWH was to be worshipped before the other gods, not that there were no other gods.

but yes, Exodus literally says that YHWH hardened rameses' heart.

>>84709957

That's a distinction theological scholars still make today, as well as arguments refuting Gnostic heresies that see God as a glorified watchmaker or Manachaeism that taught that God in the OT was actually the evil and cruel Demiurge. The Christian God is one that sustains and nurtures creation throughout all time, continually recreating the universe in his presence and love. As opposed to being bound to only a single time and place, and just coming around to do one thing and then fuck off somewhere else.

Sampson was an idiot and let a woman come before him and his devotion to God, and wound up giving his life up to show his repentance after he lost everything from that mistake.

Real MVPs of the Old Testament

The only Patriarch leader of the OT to not fuck up and lose favor with God.

Led the Israelites out of Egypt and laid down their law when it turned out the Israelites couldn't be trusted to actually follow the basic Ten Commandments on their own

There's a Jewish practice of scriptural exigesis where you take a story that isn't fleshed out and develop a scenario with more involved details based on the characters to reinforce the message of the scene. I forget the Hebrew name for it now, but it's basically what you have here in both the Cecil B Demille Ten Commandments and the animated one.

I can recognise that it's nowhere close to being biblically accurate (for whatever value that has) but when I watched this again when I was older I loved it more than I ever did when I was young. Besides the music being on point (well, most of it) there was so much I liked about how it showed the story.

Case in point: The Angel of Death scene. It's not triumphant or flashy. No music like the other plagues, just the wrath of God. It isn't presented as a great victory for Moses:

>>84714875
Ramses was a perfect cinnamon roll before he ever even had a son. It was his dad who actually enacted all the bad shit in the movie, and then that guy dies offscreen and is never spoken about again. Ramses only says no to Moses because he doesn't want to go backsies on Dad's laws.

Also, the actual Ramses is pretty low on the list of historical pharaohs who could've been the one from the bible. The writers probably picked him because the name is recognizable.

Not necessarily. "No other gods before me" means don't worship anything above God. Remember, these are the guys who, in the time it takes to climb a mountain, melted down all their gold and forged a golden calf statue, then proceeded to worship it. They needed all the help they could get.

He was angry, but he wasn't striking out in anger. John says that he left and made a whip of cords, then came back to lay down the law. Making a whip of cords takes time, it's not like he went in, got mad, and went on a rampage.

Adam just let pussy distract him from obeying God.

I think there was another story where Adam begs forgiveness, and God takes pity on him. God orders him and Eve to stand in two separate rivers for a shit ton of days, with the promise that if they don't leave until the time is up, they may return to the Garden.

Adam is chilling in his river, and Eve is chilling in hers. Then some douche Angel comes (Might've been Lucifer? Don't remember) and he tells Eve that she's totally free to go, and to go get Adam.

Eve, like the dumb bitch she is, believes him and goes to get Adam. Forgot the rest of the story, either Adam stays in the river because he doesn't believe God would let them go so quickly or he also leaves the river, God finds out and kicks them down to Earth.

Adam didn't fuck up by letting Even talk him into also eating the apple, he fucked up by letting the snake into the garden in the first place.

Bible isn't really meant to be a "story." It's more of a learning tool for Christians, and a collection of christian......"myths" if you want to put it that way, like modern collection of greek mythological stories, and in the case of Revelations, is a warning of what will happen someday.

There's a lot of ways you can add story to some of the stuff in the Bible without contradicting the source material.

Also plenty of ways to fuck up and blow it spectacularly, in the case of the Noah movie.

>>84732456

Different books of the Bible have different purposes, but the canon as a whole points towards the story of salvation through different periods of time. Starting with God's covenants with the different patriarchs in the the old testament (and how they keep fucking them up every time) and culminating in the final covenant mediated by Jesus with his passion, death and resurrection. Then the rest of the New Testament is part historical narrative and part instructional text regarding the early Church, leaving off with Johns' apocalyptic vision regarding the end of the world and the final fulfillment of creation reunited with God's presence.

You fuck up interpretations of Scripture by ignoring their context within that larger work, or ignoring the social and political contexts in which the different books were written. Just like how you analyze any other secular text by looking at the time in which it was written, and the purpose for the intended audience, so you analyze the books of the Bible.

Well said. I am so tired of people trying to use the laws of the Old Testament as ammo against Christianity and ignoring the part where the whole point of Jesus coming was to replace the old law and provide a new way, where we don't have to fulfill a huge list of criteria to be clean, because Jesus has taken the punishment for our sin, allowing God to be both just and merciful to us.

Ritual law in Leviticus prescribes the old punishment for homosexual actions. That punishment is no longer binding to Christians.

The idea that homosexual actions are sinful and go against God's ordained order of creation is something that is older and was instituted in Genesis when God consecrated the sacrament of marriage between Adam and Eve. That has not changed.

But God did know better. He made sure Joseph was educated so that his brother would feel spiteful and sell him into slavery. Then, that same education would see him rise through the ranks, give him the ability to interpret dreams in jail, help Pharaoh forsee a famine, and work out an scheme to keep Egypt fed.
He forgave his brothers (after fucking with them a bit) because he realised their actions were just part of God's keikaku to save the whole family

This. The Old Testament never explicitly states that other gods do not exist (At least, not to my recollection). Hell, the Ten Commandments simply requires that you have no other gods before God. He could be fully aware that other, weaker gods exist. The Egyptian Gods could have been powerless to protect their own people, in which case, they no longer deserved worship.

>>84739011

That's the Gnostic take on it and like much of Gnosticism, most mainline Christian schools of thought now reject it because it invalidates concepts of
free will.

What the Gospels tell us is that Judas found Jesus' teachings too extreme snd he doubted that he was the Messiah, so he went to the Jewish religious leaders to have him arrested. However, he did not want him to be executed, and upon hearing the Romans crucified him, Judas commites suicide. Jesus knows that Judas is going to betray him, but does nothing to stop him or turn aside his eventual fate because he knows it has to happen this way for the prophecies to be fulfilled, and also to satisfy the new covenant on behalf of God and humanity.

It's kind of unavoidable when the movie is an adaption of biblical events. (Plus I, at least, can never resist a chance to try and correct the damage places like Westboro are doing to our reputation.)

God bet that Job was so awesome, he would never renounce his fairh in God. Satan out Job to that test, and God allowed Satan to take EVERYTHING from him to see how he'd react.

Job never gives up on his faith in God, but he does question why God allowed this happen, only for God to appear to him and go "LISTEN HERE, YOU LITTLE SHIT, WHEN YOU'RE ALL POWERFUL AND RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING THE UNIVERSE AND ALL THE CREATURES, LAWS OF NATURE AND BEINGS WITHIN, THEN YOU CAN GIVE ME YOUR OPINION."

The he gives back everything Job lost several times over and gets to gloat about how awesome he seevant is to Satan over their poker games in heaven some more.

By that logic, Eve can't be blamed for disobeying God or tempting Adam, because she didn't know that it was wrong to do so. Sort of like how you can't blame a child for disobeying its parent if it hasn't yet experienced any negative consequences for doing so, I guess.

There's stuff in the new testament that says homosexuality is sinful.

1 Corinthians 6:9, Romans 1:27, 1 Timothy 1:10, etc.

He didn't in the movie, Ramses just decided not to change because of his vying for his father's approval. Both Moses and Ramses are seeking thr same thing, completion of their father's goals. Neither start out truly appreciating that. Ramses thinks that he's created a strong Egypt because he rules unopposed in a time of peace and plenty with slave labor out the ass. Moses thinks freeing the slaves is going to be easy because >muh brothers. And as shit starts to go wrong both have to stick to their ideals and it changes them as they come to appreciate how serious the situation is.

Paul's condemnation of homosexuals is also phrased within the context of him calling out humanity's sinfulness is general, including his own. He's using it to show how everyone's fucked up but are still called to turn themselves to God regardless.

SOME kind of supernatural force is on his side, in-story, Hebrew, Egyptian or otherwise. It's more that the Pharaoh defied fate and put his pride above his people, regardless of what God(s) had Moses's back.

No different then when people talk about comics and they sound like Superman is a literal force in the world.
Stop feeling like you need to put yourself above those who believe in God.

Everyone seems to forget that the Pharaoh would have been willing to cave.

God deliberately hardened his heart to serve a better example. He pushed Pharaoh into being a bigger dick.

You can't really blame anyone except Yahweh, since he foresaw all of this.

That's the thing with being an omnipotent, omniscient being. You already know everything that's going to happen, so nothing is really anyone's fault. They had no choice to begin with, the path was set.

is Dr. Manhattan from the Watchman a good interpretation of how an omniscient deity would still allow evil in the world?

I'm aware of the stigma associated with Gnostic views and am in no way giving it my full support.
It's just I find the idea appealing and reasonable that Christ knowing he had to be betrayed over to the Romans chose his betrayer as to circumvent the damnation that would have been on the head of whoever genuinely sold out the Son of God only for it to end in the suicide of Judas and him being damned anyway.
To me it speaks some more on the compassion of Christ who would change the course of fate in order to spare just one soul as well as to the absoluteness of God's will and plan that if it is his intent that the betrayer is to be damned then he is damned.

It's more of a "Hey God why don't you just put the entire universe in a bottle" type deal. Free will is pretty cool, and physics laws too for the "natural evil." Kind of like Peace on Earth too where people would get butthurt.

Because Southern Baptists are one of the lager denominations, we naturally have more bad seeds.
Titus 1:16- "They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work."

Matthew 7:16-20- "You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits."

Westboro Baptist is not typical.

Jews could care less if gentiles worship YHWH. They just wanted out. The tribe Moses stayed with joined the Jews during their trek in the wilderness and the bible states Moses' father in law helped Moses construct the civil laws of the Israelites.

Homosexuality is still something frowned on in the bible.

That said, gay-bashing isn't much in the right either. "Hate the sin, not the sinner" and all that.

so if YHWH had become all peaceful and loving by the end of the New Testament, why is he hardcore again in the Quran? This sequel doesn't make sense

The Jews HAD a pronounciation for it, but purposely forgot it due to fear of breaking the commandment not to take His name in vain. They placed marks around it to remind the reader not to say it, replacing the proper name with the titles Elohim, or LORD.
