Remember the exodus; however it may have been.

Surely it was a major turning point in history; either for its sign of divine intervention or that it meant the Hebrews would live on, thus paving the way for Christianity and Islam and modern religion as a whole.

If I'd get a cent for every day that's a religious holiday, I'd make $3.65 a year.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

That's fucking horrible to celebrate a story of God killing Children/First born of a certain race of people. In what way is this better than celebrating something like the Holocaust, except with the Holocaust there's actually proof of it happening unlike this Jew story.

Surely it was a major turning point in history; either for its sign of divine intervention or that it meant the Hebrews would live on, thus paving the way for Christianity and Islam and modern religion as a whole.

And that is a good thing is it? Paving the way for Christianity and Islam, yeah, thank you very much Jews

I don't believe I mentioned whether or not it was good. Either way it is still important to our history.

Yes you did, when you said "Happy" Passover. You're implying that it was good. Just like if I made a thread saying "Happy Holocaust" or "Happy Rwandan Genocide" or whatever else fucked up shit happened throughout history on this planet

Don't compare an ancient myth to those modern genocides.

Ok, so it's an Ancient myth, now your original post and this entire topic is now invalid, as is the entire holiday in itself and all the crap about it being an important historical moment in "our" (I suppose by that you meant the world) history.

Whether it's fact or fiction doesn't really make a difference as celebrating it is still celebrating it. Perhaps it is something to celebrate for the Jews, myth or no myth as it symbolised their freedom, and despite how they supposedly achieved freedom from oppressors, it's probably no different from celebrating many of the other bloody revolutions/wars of independence that have happened throughout history, but it's still pretty fucked up to deliberately go after Children like that and then talk about how the holiday is celebrating that particular point.

Meh, plenty of fucked up shit has happened throughout history which gets celebrated by various people to this day. I'm just trying to provide perspective

Well, I tend not take those written acts of God as truth. I agree that it was fucked up to kill the children, but then again the Hebrews were being kept as slaves and worse was probably done to them. While this is just another ol' tale of rebellion, it is one that is within the line of western history, something undeniably important.

Don't make me go and resort to a level that would get me banned on this forum

Everyone knows what happens to people like Rammuntion that doesn't happen to people like Lowing

Not that I'm either.

edit: Actually yeah Superior Mind I remember the bit where the Egyptian King tried to kill all the Jew babies (male ones) and that's why Moses was sent down the Rhine Nile and was found by the Royal Family etc etc..

So an appropriate example would be if Egypt celebrated the massacre of the Jewish babies

my point was this isn't a DST thread, go make one if you want to argue semantic shit...this was SupMind wishing the few jewish members here a happy holiday and you had to come in here with your retarded bullshit about religion. again.

columbus day is equally as fucked up yet we still celebrate that don't we?

I already made the point that there are tons of other holidays out there that can be given the same viewpoint, this is something that is rarely talked about unlike the common Columbus day debate so I felt I might aswell talk about it.

Mainly to perhaps try and see the Jewish viewpoint of why such an act could be celebrated, just for the sake of discussion.

Who gives a shit if it's DST or not, that supposed to suddenly mean that any sort of intelligent discussion or debate must be void.

I mean I know FatherTed was given the EE award but that doesn't mean that EE has to be completely retarded (<3 teds)

In the story the Jews were delivered from their slavery and bondage. They believed in God, while the Egyptians were immoral idolators. Not really hard to understand why it's acceptable for them to celebrate it. The focus is not so much on the people dieing as it is on their God's deliverance.

The holocaust...hmm yeah completely the same. Hiding in you house and eating unleavened bread =/= genocide.

Why though? There was no cause other than to stir shit up, which you're obviously trying to do.

Hmm, I dunno, maybe because it freed thousands of people from slavery? And the "firstborn" didn't necessarily mean children? And the holiday doesn't revolve around that whatsoever?

Not quite. Passover is not the celebration of the killing of the firstborn. That is only a bit of the story. We celebrate our exodus from slavery and connection with God. Egyptians killing the Hebrew babies is not something worth celebrating. That was just population control I'd imagine.
