Stubborn's consequences

The 9 plagues that were left happened to Egypt becasue of the stubborness of the Pharaoh. Even though he knew that the LORD could easily overtake him, and obviously keep the promises of the plagues he didn't let the children of Israel go. That is absurd, quite stupid. He led his people suffer just because he didn't want to let the Israelites go! Ridiculous and we still have wars happen becuase a leader or a preswident simply did something that shoulnd't have done. What more absurd than Hitler? I feel a great attraction to Hitler's time. It is for me amazing the fact that because a man decided that an ethnic group was lower than another, then it should be extinguished. And the most incredible thing about that is that they believed him! Or at least they were convinced and almost destroyed a religion from the face of the Earth.

I remember hearing a Jewish friend of mine complaining becuase she couldn't eat carbohydrates adn she brought a weird flavorless bread to school. I asked her why she was doing that, and she told me "because I'm Jewish and it is Abib" I didn't quite get it. Abib is a "holiday" that the Jewish have in which they follow the things that their ansestors had to go through when they crossed from Egypt to Israel with Moses becuase they couldn't have leaven and brough from Egypt dough unleavened with them to eat. This is what the jewish still do, for an entire week! The Jewish are very devote, they don't miss a holiday for nayhting in the world and they are very proud of their religion. A reason for them to be so united in their religion is probably because of all the things they've gone through, that have made their religion their reason to live. Christians on the other hand are very lazy and "sinners", now-a-days Christianity has lost many believers and practicants. I am one of them.

I simply love your blog. You have voice, or a particular writing style that I think reflects your personality.

Interestingly, African-Americans focused very much on this portion of the Bible, as we'll see next Wednesday.

9 = nine
The Jewish = jewish people or jews

What more absurd than Hitler?
