In the passover story it says God punished Pharaoh for not doing what himself made impossible for Pharaoh to do. In Exodus 11:10 it states that God "hardened Pharaoh's heart and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land. Then in Exodus 12:29 it has God killing the first-born of everyone and everything throughout the land of Egypt at midnight. That sounds like many innocent people were KILLED, is this the kind of Creator you wish to believe in?

God gives us opportunities to respond to Him, but if we refuse to listen to Him, He then lets us go...and it will lead to our destruction.
As you can see from the following passages, FIRST PHARAOH HARDENED HIS OWN HEART, then God hardened it, when he wouldn't respond and obey God.
Ex 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
Ex 8:32 But this time also Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go.
Ex 9:12 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
Ex 9:34 When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts.
Ex 10:1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these miraculous signs of mine among them
Ex 10:20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go.
Ex 10:27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was not willing to let them go.
Look at our government. The decision rulers make affect a lot of people. How many soldiers have died in Iraq, because of the choice of our government to start a war.
What we do affects others as well. Look at how the lives of children are affected by the wrong choices of their parents.

You believe this revelation of the past, gift and future of the history of the life? Until it shows the the opposite?
Then! Cientificamente you cannot deny true the historical one of this philosophy: Beyond the Universe the life also is infinite in the Land, and all the species also the man have certainly ancestral origin, where the pursuing of the life (for the future) results in an arrival to the past of Daily pay-History; e that finishes in return to the gift of Our Historia.
I circulate that our alternating History of Daily pay-History is happened again infinitely.

Seems you're processing what your reading through a depraved mind. "since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done." Rom 1:28 How does your life measure up?
