"...and Michael, Archangel of God, descended from heaven to bring slaughter upon the firstborn of every family..."

I've just always wondered how the Judao-Christians justify this particular instance of violence sent by the Benevolvent and Almighty God. Is it OK to kill the Egyptians just because they were inhibiting the progress of the 'chosen people'?

How should the Judeo-Christians know what's OK in the eyes of God? It's not their job to justify the actions of somebody who everybody else is determined to not believe in anyway.....
