Did God just want and excuse to punish some Africans or something?

actually god didn't kill the Egyptians they actually killed themselves. the first born sons slept on a cot and were exposed to more gases in the air. The younger son's didn't get that privilege they slept on the floor which actually saved their lives,
the red sea is actually the reed sea and it wasn't bleeding it was red clay that washed into the reed sea due to flooding, making it appear bloody.
the frogs and the locusts were also a product of the flooding. they were just following the food.

God didn't kill all the Egyptians, just the ones that followed the Israelites into the Red Sea. Oh! and the first born but they has warning and a way of escape.
However wasn't the whole world shooting at the Germans at the time. We did not give God a chance to move. You can still see the hand of God if you look. They God their own nation out of the deal. Something that is prophesied in the Bible.

God killed the Egyptians in a time of budding prosperity- Joshua did not yet conquer what would become the Holy Land of Israel, which would soon fall to the plauges of decentralized worship, worshipping many gods, and a plethora of other sins that Israel and Judah committed. The Covenant between G-d and Abraham, in many people's opinions, was deserted with the destruction of Israel by the Assyrians and Judah by the Babylonians, although the Persians soon united the displaced Hebrews. The times of the Hebrew Bible are very different than the times of today, or 70 years ago.

You are assuming first of all that the Eqyptians were killed for having slaves. That is false. They were killed in the 10th plague because the Egyptians refused to let them go. Why did God not wipe out the Nazis? God does not always operate as a blue bolt from heaven. Most of the time he uses people to accomplish his ends. He used the Medo-Persian empire to punish the Babylonians. He used the Romans to punish the Jews. All in all, I think it is narrow-minded to think God can only function in one way and always will operate in that way. I do not know about you, but my God is a much bigger god than that.

Oh, please, you're saying God is racist? Actually there are a lot of people who believe that "God" in the old testament was actually a race of evil aliens who kept humans as slave animals, mostly... and then Jesus freed us from them but left us on our own to make our own decisions on whether we would like to side with God or the devil. Unfortunately, we have been quarantined and left on our own during this time and we are not too good at getting along with each other so we have the current mess. But it seems like you enjoy making up spiteful assumptions about God and crapping them out at the world to help make things even more confusing, so... what r' ya gonna do, right? Have a nice day, Mr. Angry...

i think in a way God did punish the Germans. After their defeat they were looked upon as the ones that lost.

It might have something to do with the fact that in the Old Testament the Jews were God's chosen people, but once Jesus was born they lost that distinction to the Christians.
Or it could just be that he has a thing for whacking Africans like you said.

I've got to go with Tim. And do not ever assume that God made something evil happen. Only the devil is responsible for that. Rethink the matter and see where the devil fits into the scenario and realize he made it all happen in one form or another.
