Some commentators have associated several of the plagues with judgment on specific gods associated with the Nile, fertility and natural phenomena. According to Exodus 12:12, For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD, (KJV), all the gods of Egypt would be judged through the tenth and final plague. However, this story has led to many Christian and Jews to either convert to different faiths or turn outright Atheist, as they feel they cannot worship a God that murders innocents. On a side note, Christians with more liberal views say the plagues were an act of Satan.
