And Manz does have a point: how did moses get the isrealites out of egypt if not by the events in the Bible? i mean, it's historical fact that they got out of there; how else could they have gotten out of one of the biggest national superpowers of the time?

And what's wrong with focussing on pleasure of sex over procreation?
Okay, I'm sure both of you know the story of the exodus, so let me bring up a few points here.
- Moses saw a burning bush and god talked to him from it.
- Then Moses went to the Pharaoh and told him to release the Jews.
- Moses asked a second time. Pharaoh refuses. God turns all the waters into blood.
- Moses askes a third time. Pharaoh refuses. A plague of locusts swarms over the land affecting everyone, and not just the Pharaoh.
- One last refusal. God kills not only Pharoah's first born son, but the first born son of EACH and EVERY Egyptian regardless of whether they had a hand in the refusal. A very sensible, just and merciful god, but that is beside the point. Also god quite literally robs the Egyptians of their belongings and gives it away to the Israelites. Why the discrimination?
- Then Pharaoh sends his army when the Israelites reach the see. Moses does magic, and the sea splits in two, allowing them to walk over the dry part, and the other part drowns all the Egyptians. For what, I wonder?
Now, to your question, how else could this have happened? I'll tell you.
- Moses gets sick of the discrimination, grabs a bazooka, goes over to the Pharaoh and says, "Free us, dog, or I'll bust you all."
- Pharaoh relents and they all go to the sea. Pharaoh sends army. Moses radios engineering and they use their uber construction abilities to build a bridge in less than 10 minutes across the sea.
- Israelites hurry across the bridge, and then Moses radios Air Support, telling them to bomb the bridge, and then bomb the Egyptians. End of story.
Now, if this hurts your religious sentiments, I'm sorry, but how the hell is my story any less likely than yours?
