How difficult would it be to make a battered and broken slave believe a lie?
I don't think it would have been difficult at all. I'm sure after 400 odd years of slavery you'd go along with just about anything if you think it will get you freed, right?
Well obviously it wasn't difficult.

really hard, and they still didnt beleive after looking for the promise land for 40+ years. The Hebew people and Moses didn't even make it to the promise land, they didn't have enough faith... they kept complaining so GOD kept them waiting... idiots worshiping a gold cow... yeah it was hard

It had been a prophecy that a messiah would come to deliver them from slavery. Mosses was a meekest of all men on the earth and didn't want to be worshipped or even made this savior.
But God told him he was and what he had to do.
So I wasn't a case of Mosses delivering them, the only one who could deliver them was God. Mosses didn't part the red sea.
Mosses didn't bring the 10 plagues on egypt, God did.
Mosses was just the man that God was using at the time.
Because he was a humble man who just wanted to help the people.

Moses doubted his ability to do that you know.
Exodus 3:11 However, Moses said to the [true] God: “Who am I that I should go to Phar´aoh and that I have to bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?”
Moses is not a good speaker and he knew that the Israelites knew he was raised as an Egyptian prince...he knew that they would not listen to him that easy.
It was God at work in Moses there that's why the people believed.

Apparently he didn't do a good enough job of convincing them, since God made him and Israel wander around the desert for 40 years before finding the promised land, and Moses never got to see it.

It's never hard to sell hope to an oppressed people. His difficulty was in believing he could make a difference not in convincing other people. He told them they would be delivered from slavery and they were. Can't see the lie.

Friend, You have not even understood your own question, Those Jews in slavery knew there was a True God, Because God promised them that he will send them a deliever. & Moses was the one. So why would they believe in God's promise & yet not believe in God. Now do you have a more senseable question?

It is really very very difficult, but He succeeded because He is endowed with the invincible power of the One True God. And that is why Judaism can exist for thousands of years.

Well, see the latest trend in Bible bashing is to claim that the Israelites weren't slaves at all, but that the Pharoah let them go.
If you're going to Bible bash, at least get your story straight.
