I even think there's more to it. One passage about them making clay bricks is almost humorous. Pharaoh made them pick their own reeds or whatever for making the bricks as punishment, and man did they whine.
In the same ballpark in the Bible is when Moses and Aaron keep nagging Pharaoh about the intense need for them to go out into the desert with their people for three days to make sacrifices. They said that if they weren't allowed, God would "put them to the sword".
There is ZERO evidence God said that to Moses or Aaron, and seems contradictory to me (ie they lied). Like the guy you replied to, perhaps even Moses and Aaron weren't so good, and the Israelites did seem to lapse into "infidelity" with God quite easily, didn't they?
You can look at a lot of those stories just a bit critically and figure out that the Israelites were pretty bad overall. If one questions one's moral standing, a quick comparison to those guys is rather reassuring.
Look at Solomon. The Third Temple Institute which is preparing things for the rebuilding of the Temple says that they are following the "wisdom of Solomon".
Ya know, the guy that extracted 666 talents as tribute every year and summoned demons. AND was responsible for God breaking up Israel in the first place. Big LOL on that one.
It actually made me think of the Wailing Wall today for some reason...which made me then think of the black wall with quartz crystals that Marina Abramovic and Zelensky made in the Ukraine dedicated to Jewish Ukrainian Holocaust victims. The Wailing Wall has the whole "copulating with Shekinah" thing and was supposedly the wall from an Apollo/Venus temple (and they force people to visit/pay respects (tribute...that word again)). For the other wall...are they celebrating killing off the real Jews(or the good ones)? I dunno, but that's a weird one. We do know that they aren't good people.
