I don't mean to just further the debate of religion but. I do not belive in God. But thing is, even if he was real (in my eyes) I'm not going to blindly follow a figure I know almost nothing about.
@The1andOnlyCG: Third, as said earlier, the children, even though murdered are in bliss with their creator. So now, do you somewhat understand the dynamics by which God works.
@The1andOnlyCG: The answer to your complaint is this. God tests the hearts and commitment of his slaves in ways as portrayed in the movie. First and foremost, those children were not murdered as you call murder. Those children were taken back by God to heaven. But, the children were a treasure for their parents-the Israelites.Thus, eventhough Pharaoh murdered the children- it only adds to the injustice that he has done. Second, by allowing this to occur, God was testing the hearts of Israel
@TheTruna it also proves that god is a murderous tyrant who just kills whoever he wants even if they're innocent. did all those innocent civilians deserve to suffer for the crimes of just Pharaoh and his government?
and most of all, did those thousands of firstborn children deserve to be MURDERED?
and you sing praises to this god for being "loving, kind, just and fair" etc.
narrow-minded fools. read your fucking bible, which you so highly acclaim, and see what you really are worshipping.
one thing i find very powerful about this story and many stories from the old testament, is just listen to the line, "and even now, I wish that God had chose another... serving as your foe on his behalf is the last thing that I wanted..." to me it really speaks some truth. People who truly are touched by God aren't the ones who make some gain out of it as many "christians" today do, today God is an excuse for some monitary gain; for Moses, he probably wished God wasn't real and calling upon him
@21Rushisaband12 Such a good point. A lot of people nowadays like to make serving God sound a lot more flowery and blissful than it really can be. Yes, doing as God asks can bring happiness and make you feel good about yourself in some situations, but one thing we need to realize is that we are to follow God - period. Even if the world turns against us and we are left with no one and nothing. Many would call that pessimism, but "great is our reward in heaven". God bless.
Speaking as someone who thoroughly enjoys his theology classes, these internet-based, religious "debates" consistently give me an ulcer.
How many of you can tell me who Joseph Campbell is, without using Google? How many of you can tell me the basic characteristics of a myth.
When someone doesn't acknowledge the boundaries of his or her expertise, and continues to argue a point without doing some research in relevant fields, he or she becomes an academic clown like Richard Dawkins.
Isn't it convenient how none of the Hebrews are effected by the plagues (like surely if the Egyptians crops are ruined, that also means no food for the Hebrews) ...awesome song though
@Sabrinajaine Did the jews stay? Nope They got out of dodge soon after that. Besides that earlier on the Egyptians learned to keep well stocked in case of famine. Strangely it was from a guy named Joseph.
I just wanted to point out to all the people arguing about the whole Christian issue that Jesus' great-great-grandparents hadn't even been born at the time the movie took place. The God referred to in the movie is the "God of the Hebrews." Don't get me wrong, I think that everything that happened was horrible too (if it did in fact happen, the Torah wasn't written until two hundred years after Moses died). I just want to make sure everyone has their facts straight! ^.^
God does not kill because he feels it's purposed. It's all apart of his plan. If he hadn't kill the children then Pharaoh would not hav let them go. When they leave they travel until they find and found Israel(even though Moses dies before its founded).
With out the founding of Israel David wouldn't hav been king. Jesus wouldn't hav been born. Or kill. All things god does are apart of his Plan.
And u address us Christians like u r not one? If ur r atheist or diagnostic look
@LittleBearCrafts there are SO MANY other ways god could have solved the problem without slaughtering all those children. his actions were unnecessary, violent, and plain stupid to be honest because he took the most brutal option when he had many other ways of doing things.
@The1andOnlyCG tell me, if you had drawn a painting, created a work of art, would it be yours to to with it as you please, destroy it, burn it if you wish?
if i created a "painting" that had a living soul, emotions, and a yearning to live, then it would be totally immoral for me to kill it, especially as it had committed no crime.
@The1andOnlyCG My point still stands. God gave them life in the first place, if it is in his plan to take it away, who are we to judge? How can you and me "single threads in the tapestry" see the pattern of his grand design?
@acc8156 we're not "single threads"!!! we are human beings!
we have emotions, we feel pain and suffering, we mourn the loss of our fellow people! according to religion, we even have "souls"! death is a terrible thing for us!
if god is killing children, it is MURDER, just like if anyone else killed children.
@The1andOnlyCG of course we are. everything you said about humans is God given. He even gave us the ultimate gift of free choice. The death of those children was a consequence of that gift, Ramses was the one who wouldn't give in, if he had just listened to God and let the Hebrews go, none of that would have happened. and in the end God gave them their lives and souls and emotions. it was His right to take it away.
GOD MADE THE CHOICE TO KILL THOSE CHILDREN! he could have solved the problem a million other ways without murdering innocents! he made the choice to commit an act of brutal, unjustified murder!
was it the CHILDREN who were enslaving the israelites? NO. it was Pharaoh and his government, army etc.
there is no way past that fact. stop trying to blame other people for the unecessary and tyrannical actions of your so-called "loving god".
@The1andOnlyCG God didn't kill the children just for the fun of it. I believe he didn't want to either. But because Pharoh refused to let the slaves go, He had to punish Pharoh the worst way he could, because every other way Pharoh wouldn't budge. And when you think about it, God let the same thing be done to his son, Jesus Christ, over 2000 yrs later on the cross
@JesusFreak1701 how about he just killed PHARAOH?!?!?!?! instead of all those innocent children!
or he could have just teleported the israelites over to the promised land! he's god, he is capable of that sort of stuff. no one had to suffer at all - god could have prevented the israelites from being enslaved in the first place!
The israelites were enslaved for a long time, yeah? several generations? well that alone is a MASSIVE injustice: why should children have to be punished for the sins of their fathers?
anyway if god WANTED to free the israelites, as he told moses he did, he could easily do it by magic. he could just pick them up and put them at the shore of the Red Sea if he wanted.
instead he decided to kill thousands of innocent children. WTF!?!!?!?
@The1andOnlyCG I could have stretched forth My hand and stricken you [Pharaoh] and your people with pestilence, and you would have been effaced from the earth. Nevertheless I have spared you for this purpose: in order to show you My power and in order that My fame may resound throughout the world. ”
@The1andOnlyCG And in addition, at one point in the song, Pharoh says, "And never mind how high the cost may grow," implying that he didn't care how much his people suffered, he wasn't going to let the slaves go. So if God really is a "tyrannical murderer," as you say, then Pharoh wasn't that much better.
@JesusFreak1701 i'm not saying Pharoah was not a bad guy! he was in charge of the enslavement of an entire race!
Pharaoh deserved punishment, as did his government etc. So why didn't god just kill/imprison them? Why punish all the innocent people when he could have only punished the guilty ones??
@The1andOnlyCG One more thing: God isn't a murderer. think of him as a police officer putting someone to death because of their crimes. He doesn't want to do it, but he has to. Just keep this in mind. You accuse God of being a murderer, and he still loves you more than you can comprehend.
@JesusFreak1701 Personalized punishment is a very different thing from killing many innocents. The murder of the pharaoh's people had no real effect on the pharaoh himself. So why not simply turn everything the pharaoh ate or drank to ash? Would that, or something similar, have not solved the problem in a far less genocidal way? The pharaoh was obviously a fool, but did his people truly deserve to suffer for his pride?
@LeKhoaHuy Lt. Commander Data would say that one need only be sentient to enjoy great art and literature. ;) The question then would be whether or not the experience would be emotionally affective.
Such an amazing movie! This song scares the shirt out of me,am I the only one?. My sister put this on her iPod and we listened to it in the pitch black. Scariest.Experience.Ever
but i don't like how christians ignore this aspect of their god... that instead of punishing the guy responsible, he instead killed all the firstborn children, who were innocent in the entire matter.
i don't see the justice there. did they go to heaven or hell? they played not part in it but they were murdered by god
@willstob it would make sense if the children had murdered people
anyway i thought god was meant to be the ultimate being of justice and fairness. why would he stoop down to human twisted morals if he knew what was right?
@The1andOnlyCG Oh brother, look, back then certain things were more acceptable then they are now! Back then people would wipe each other out and not care, so God could probably be a bit more brutal cos people just didn't care as much as they do now, times and methods change don't you think?
@EvilBakaCat yeah but god is supposed to be the epitome of justice, morality, kindness, forgiveness etc, you christians always praise him for that.
just because humans had a casual attitude towards killing, why should god have been that way? he was supposedly the wise and mature one, he should have known what was right and wrong. anyway i thought he loved all people.
and even by their standards, slaughter of all the firstborn CHILDREN would have been abominable.
@The1andOnlyCG no no no, he seemed to be into the kindness thing in the new testament only, the god of the old testament is about justice but a VERY harsh type of justice, it was the acceptable thing to go an eye for an eye, we see God as merciful now because Jesus changed the old ways into being more forgiving.
@The1andOnlyCG Maby we could look at it this way, they did not die painfully, they simply died, and to god's point of veiw he just removed them from earth and now their up in heaven or somthing like that, i mean for us that's terrible but in the grand scheme of things the kids didn't suffer, and btw I do not worship the God of the old testament, he is a lawful evil aligned monster, the total opposite of the new testament
This is my favorite story of all time because, true or not, it tells of two brothers, one obeying the greater good, the other influenced by his father. During the course of the plagues Moses is horribly sad for the suffering, but also angry at Ramses for calling them down, angry with God for sending them, and angry with himself for being the middleman and enabling all this. Ramses all the while refuses to give because of his Father's wishes for him to become a great Pharaoh, and does not want t
There is evidence in the "Reed Sea" (I can't remember the real name). And there wasn't a "Slave Revolt", they had permission to leave. Then, don't forget to add artistic license.
more a matter of free will, but the plagues directly contradict the whole "choose for yourself" unless God in this was wanting to force a choice, Im a christian and I find it arguable if the plagues actually happened or not. Still a good movie.
In American Sign Language 1, I have chosen this song to sign, knowing very little ASL. I AM SO EXCITED! I'm gonna, God-willing, grow my beard for the epicness!
"Then let my heart be hardened, and never mind how high the cost may grow! This will still be so!: I will never let... you... peo..ple... GO!"
For everyone who bitches at this film because they are not christian consider for a moment that when you watch ANY filmy ou have to suspend your disbelief and buy into the ideology of the film.
You can’t sit and watch ‘bladerunner’ and bitch that its stupid because you don’t believe in robot replicants!! Why should this film be any different?
The Prince of Egypt is an absolutely first class film, even to someone like myself who could certainly not be called ANY kind of religious.
@SamuraLungChu As much as I agree with you, no one is really gonna listen. For almost every song from this movie, there are discussions of SOMETHING religious, atheists, christians, whatever. Everyone is going to argue about it. But I do agree, they just need to shut up and enjoy the music.
@SamuraLungChu That IS all well and good, but you don't have people going around in every day life saying that you're a replicant and that you need to be put down. Luckily, I've yet to be called a replicant and have people shoot at me. Bible thumpers on the other hand are a very real and annoying occurrence. At least most of them don't try to shoot you. :)
Let is be known... if it comes down to strength... or force... the lord WILL prevail... just like when it comes down to anything a man takes pride in... such as wisdom, numbers or anything that could make a man ignorant..
honestly this is the most powerful son in the movie its shows God's wrath and the conflict between brothers who still love each other. Only one has the pride of a king which all kings should have
YHWH was the real villain. Any entity that would do this deserves nothing but loathing. I'd say history is written by the victors, but it never really happened. Archaeological evidence proves the Hebrews as we know them were never in Egypt. To me, that makes it even worse.
@Dracorex13 If there's archeological evidence that the Hebrews weren't in Egypt (Which, by the way, there's plenty of evidence to support their presence- particularly Egyptians citing the story of a slave revolt led by Moses- who is addressed by name) then why would you assume God did this to Egypt? So, enslaving an entire race is fine in comparison? At any time, Pharaoh could let the Hebrews go, and God would end the plagues. It is Pharaoh's pride that killed his people, not God.
@ludicrus32 First, you cannot prove a negative, second I'd like to see this evidence, third, an all powerful, all knowing God fighting with a mortal like a child, killing thousands and thousands of innocent people to teach one man a lesson, is in my opinion, a total sociopath, and anyone who defends him is just as vile.
@ChickencurryMuffin Then i guess i am vile. and besides even though the body dies the soul lives on, so God has the first born souls. Just like God can gives life He can take it away.
@ludicrus32 Don't worry about people saying that God is a sociopath for killing the first born. People do not relize our body is just a shell, even if the body dies the soul lives on and guess where the souls of the first born are thier with God
I'm doing an undergrad degree on Archaeology at Cambridge at the moment, and I'm calling your bluff. There is absolutely no evidence of a 'slave revolt' led by 'Moses' in Egypt, at any time. There is no evidence of a Pharoah perishing or his army being destroyed at the Red Sea (despite much other evidence of military defeats). All the evidence points to the Israelites being an ethnic group arising from the Canaanites, who retrospectively rewrote their origin history.
I love the movie because its about ancient egyptians and I myself am an egyptian lol,I also love how it shows hebrews as I love jews tbh and I love their culture.
@pouncivalfan1321 , apparently they're supposed to be lice or gnats in the bible. Though, it doesn't look like it was intended to be lice in the movie.
@AMxPunk It is quite good. The relationship between Moses and Ramses is compelling (as are all of the characters, actually), and the music absolutely top-notch. Not to mention the absolutely stellar animation.
@AMxPunk > Then you obviously haven't seen Hunchback of Notre Dame...or Toy Story 3...or Wall-E...or Metropolis...or Race For Your Life Charlie Brown...or Unico and the Isle of Magic...or the Last Unicorn...or Mononoke Hime...or Animal Farm...or Watership Down...or the Iron Giant...or Totoro...or etc. etc.
This video reminds me that I had a kickass childhood. I had all the amazing Dreamworks and Disney movies to grow up with. Kids these days grow up with the faces of Disney, like Hannah.
@spiroskout wow thank you- I have so much respect for you. And the reason why pharaoh didn't let the Hebrew people go is because God had hardened his heart.
@Linkforlife199 > If you go by the Bible (and, really, that's the only way to go by the story) the reason Pharaoh didn't let the Jews go was that God had hardened his heart...which seems like kind of a bullshit thing to do.
@GagaIsAMonster Fine then. How about I mention that he also played Amon Goeth, a Nazi who was oppressing and killing Jews as well. Irony. Yet, in real life, Ralph is a really nice guy. The ability to play both villain and hero makes him an excellent actor, and one of my favorites.
I don't mean to just further the debate of religion but. I do not belive in God. But thing is, even if he was real (in my eyes) I'm not going to blindly follow a figure I know almost nothing about.

@The1andOnlyCG no no no, he seemed to be into the kindness thing in the new testament only, the god of the old testament is about justice but a VERY harsh type of justice, it was the acceptable thing to go an eye for an eye, we see God as merciful now because Jesus changed the old ways into being more forgiving.
EvilBakaCat 1 week ago
@EvilBakaCat "very harsh justice" is not justice. its brutal, cruel overkill.
those children DID NOT DESERVE TO DIE. they had done nothing wrong. it was pharaoh's fault, not theirs.
god could have just used his divine power to magically teleport the hebrews to safety; god is able to ignore the laws of physics.
he could have given the hebrews the means to rebel against the egyptians (weapons etc).
he could have just killed pharaoh.
but no, he decided to slaughter thousands of children????????
The1andOnlyCG 1 week ago
@The1andOnlyCG Maby we could look at it this way, they did not die painfully, they simply died, and to god's point of veiw he just removed them from earth and now their up in heaven or somthing like that, i mean for us that's terrible but in the grand scheme of things the kids didn't suffer, and btw I do not worship the God of the old testament, he is a lawful evil aligned monster, the total opposite of the new testament

This is my favorite story of all time because, true or not, it tells of two brothers, one obeying the greater good, the other influenced by his father. During the course of the plagues Moses is horribly sad for the suffering, but also angry at Ramses for calling them down, angry with God for sending them, and angry with himself for being the middleman and enabling all this. Ramses all the while refuses to give because of his Father's wishes for him to become a great Pharaoh, and does not want t

For everyone who bitches at this film because they are not christian consider for a moment that when you watch ANY filmy ou have to suspend your disbelief and buy into the ideology of the film.
You can’t sit and watch ‘bladerunner’ and bitch that its stupid because you don’t believe in robot replicants!! Why should this film be any different?
The Prince of Egypt is an absolutely first class film, even to someone like myself who could certainly not be called ANY kind of religious.

YHWH was the real villain. Any entity that would do this deserves nothing but loathing. I'd say history is written by the victors, but it never really happened. Archaeological evidence proves the Hebrews as we know them were never in Egypt. To me, that makes it even worse.
Dracorex13 3 weeks ago
@Dracorex13 If there's archeological evidence that the Hebrews weren't in Egypt (Which, by the way, there's plenty of evidence to support their presence- particularly Egyptians citing the story of a slave revolt led by Moses- who is addressed by name) then why would you assume God did this to Egypt? So, enslaving an entire race is fine in comparison? At any time, Pharaoh could let the Hebrews go, and God would end the plagues. It is Pharaoh's pride that killed his people, not God.

I'm doing an undergrad degree on Archaeology at Cambridge at the moment, and I'm calling your bluff. There is absolutely no evidence of a 'slave revolt' led by 'Moses' in Egypt, at any time. There is no evidence of a Pharoah perishing or his army being destroyed at the Red Sea (despite much other evidence of military defeats). All the evidence points to the Israelites being an ethnic group arising from the Canaanites, who retrospectively rewrote their origin history.
