It’s Prince of Egypt. That movie will always get upvotes.

I think it also has to do with Louis Armstrong singing this song
You posted a youtube short link on lemmy? Yeah, that’s not going to go over well.
There’s a lot of tech literate people here, and from my experience many of them dislike short-form video content with sound. Especially when its from Alphabet, Meta, etc.
I thought we agreed to use alt frontend redirects for backward compatibility with old stuff. YT links don’t bother me. I don’t even mind the tiktok style videos.
It’s the rich data harvesting apparatus surrounding the technology that I instinctively want to drown in a bathtub.
I hate short videos with sound. Sound is so demanding of attention so much so that it drags others into it. I don’t even want to focus on it that much.
Fair. Having the option of sound is nice but if you’re blocking cookies and other local storage the only way an app can save a default mute preference is URL parameter, so I use StopTheMadness for stuff like that.
You might want to try a sub like [email protected] for those.
Content that’s only relatable to people familiar with specific religious subcultures already starts off on the back foot traction-wise. Christian stuff, in particular, is so heavily encumbered by the past and present crimes of Christians that you really can’t refer to it neutrally and expect a positive response.
That guy is kind of sexist plus its a video on a big tech platform. Between the two I see why it wasn’t liked.
This post is a bit better since it is simpler and relies on less obscure information. In general I’m not in favor of people going around promoting their religion but in this case it is actually reasonable. If you want to have Christian community that’s fine but in my experience online Christian communities tend to harbor extreme views while being hostile to any real discussion. I do like that this post isn’t just another screenshot of a 10 year old comment.
I have one hell of a large selection of memes
God was such a dick about this. Punishing the innocent people of Egypt, when they lived under the thumb of an absolute monarch. God forbid God actually hold the powerful responsible for their own actions.
Want to know how I would handle it? Here’s my Moses speech:
"Let my people go. If you don’t, one week from today you’ll get a fever bad enough to lay you up in bed. One week after that, you’ll break your left leg, your right leg, your left arm, and your right arm like clockwork, two hours apart. One week after that, if you still haven’t let my people go, you’ll just have a heart attack and drop dead.
Your successors will have one week after assuming power to let my people go, or they will die of a heart attack. If they try to weasel their way out of this by putting a baby or other figurehead in charge, whoever is actually pulling the strings will have one week to let my people go before dying of a heart attack. God will just keep bursting pharaohs until he finds one that is willing to listen."
There. Direct and instant accountability. The only people who get hurt are those who actually have the power to do something. Was it really necessary to kill a bunch of innocent Egyptian children? No, it wasn’t! God should have just sat there and popped off pharaoh after pharaoh. How many pharaohs do you think it would take? Something tells me it’s not many. I think by the time you got to the third or forth, one would say, “fuck it. Fuck my pride. I’m only pharaoh because of this Yahweh fella. I should probably just let his people go. Yahweh does NOT fuck around.”
But nah, that would be too easy. Instead has God has to go and punish a bunch of completely innocent Egyptians who hold no political authority whatsoever.
God is a dick.
To me, the actual main problem with the interactions between Moses (as a proxy for Yahweh) and Pharaoh…
… Is that for the majority of ultimatums that God instructs Moses to give to Pharoah… God also ‘hardens his/Pharoah’s heart’, which compels Pharoah to not comply.
Like, outside or above the scale of things threatened… God literally mind controls Pharoah, manipulates his emotions, and forces him into saying no, not acquiescing or truly negotiating.
This happens multiple times.
So now… God isn’t just an asshole threatening insane plaugues and death… God is just puppeting Pharoah at these key moments, so basically God is orchestrating this entire chain of events… he was in total control the whole time… God is thus just punishing the Egyptians, while also doing a kabuki theatre, a false flag, whatever, to make it look like they actually had choices and chances to avoid this, to make it look like they willingly defied his will… when this was not the case.
This takes God from a belligerent asshole into now also being a sociopathic, deceptive manipulator.
Its abuser mentality.
What are you talking about? That’s not what happened.
If that is what happened, it wasn’t that bad.
If it was that bad, you deserved it.
Also has the added entertainment benefit of basically turning God into Rem from Death Note.
you’ll break your left leg, your right leg, your left arm,
To the death?
No, to the pain.
