Frogs dropping from high altitude - alot of frogs dead (What had the frogs done wrong?). Try and grow plants or drink blood instead of water - and you will get really sick or die. (the plants wont really survive with blood). And not to forget the darkness to kill the plants..I can't remember the rest what your god was supposed to have done to punish the egypths - but Im sure you know the rest of the story.
Edit: Not to forget Sodom & Gomorra. Its pretty impressive tbh.. "turn the other cheek" doesnt include God himself. With him its more like obey or else!

Actually, rainfalls of animals are a confirmed meteorological phenomenon...

Of course, scientists would say that it wasn't God that caused frogs to rain down on Egyptians, but that it was a natural phenomenon that had a scientific explanation.
It annoys me how people who don't believe in God, drag up stories from holy scripture in an attempt to discredit religion. If they don't believe in God, then they cannot accept religion as being divinely inspired, but rather the result of how mankind has evolved to such an extent that religions have formed. As such, when scientists point the finger at religion, they are in fact condemning themselves. Remember, when you point the finger there are three pointing back at yourself!
I still say that science has invented a weapon that has caused greater loss of life in any one SINGLE moment of human history than any religion has.
The words "pipe, that, in, smoke, stick, your, and, it" spring to mind (but not necessarily in that order)!
