#the plagues

Sometimes I wonder whether there's something wrong with me or Christianity because the way Christians read Exodus makes them think Moses was all completely good but when me and my siblings watched Prince of Egypt, I thought that both Moses and Ramses were at fault during the Ten Plagues scene and I read it as a mutual tragedy but Christians read it as "God doesn't f*ck around, the Egyptians deserved this, the Ennead are false gods." When all I saw was a kingdom on fire and innocent people dying and I thought the movie was agreeing with me because of how it was portrayed that Ramses was arrogant and Moses had to do what God told him to so that his people could be free but apparently Christians don't see innocent people dying, they see God proving why he's the best. Also, personally, I felt it was mostly disrespectful that God would interfere with the powers of the Ennead. Blots out the sun to spite Ra, bloodies the Nile to spite Hapi, kills the first borns to spite Anubis. But I would like to interpret it as God doing those things because Ramses's sorcerers called upon the power of those gods, but didn't call on Maat, the God of Justice. So God was like "If your gods agree with you, then they'll protect you but without Maat to show you the path of justice, your gods will abandon you." Because if they called on Maat, it's most likely that she would've told them to free Moses's people, but they didn't, so God took Maat's place in the argument and the rest of the Ennead let God do whatever he wanted. Plus, if Ramses's heart was hardened during The Plagues, it would become heavier, and therefore outweigh its feather, sentencing him to have his heart eaten by Ammit. Maybe I'm bullsh*tting though.

The Plagues from Prince of Egypt except it’s Anakin and Obi-Wan during the verses with cutaways to order 66 and Ahsoka during the plague parts of chorus
