But there are more facts than this need taken into account. The people Israel is against now were recorded in history as there before they showed up to "take" the promised land from them. They were ordered to literally genocide every living creature, including the women and children to 'take" that land from them. YHWH ordered the complete absolute extermination of every breathing thing including all animals for all of the opposition against them as they progressed to "take" the promised land. YHWH is not god, and was a serious murderous entity who is in the bible taking both virgins and children by burnt offering sacrifice. He also took the firstborn of the Israelite's as well. Not the Egyptian tale, this was after. This is all in everyone's Bible to read. Not my opinion or speculation, it's what's very clearly written. PS Rome never left, just re-opened under new management and re-branded as Catholicism.
