Some of that history is history, and some of it -the supernatural part- is the attempt of earlier man trying to explain what he didn't understand. Similar to many of your posts of today. :-) |

I guess I am just getting tired of the same old BS over and over and over. It gets old after a while and I lose interest in trying to offer up alternative views. It's like someone who constantly talks about his/her kids as if no one else in the world has any child rearing experience. After a while they become less important to you. |

Some of that history is history, and some of it -the supernatural part- is the attempt of earlier man trying to explain what he didn't understand. So Noah did build a big boat and put all the animals on it, Jonah lived inside a whale and the earth is 8,000 years old, OK. Make up your mind, is it a fact or fiction. You can't have it both ways. You can't just cherry pick the parts that support a land grab and ridicule the rest. Bear in mind this is the same book that says it is OK to beat your wife, advocates slavery, says you should stone adulterers and calls being gay an abomination. Hmm. Where did I say that I thought the story of Noah was real? Answer: nowhere. There is evidence of a substantial and devastating flood in that part of the world in biblical or pre-biblical times and there are folk tale variations of the "Noah saga" among other peoples. As I stated, earlier man looked for ways to explain what he didn't understand, and came up with supernatural folk tales...such as the one about Noah and of course, about a super creator. Had you taken some liberal arts courses, you might have gained an appreciation for oral traditions and the later writing down of same. Some parts of the old testament have contemporaneous validity in separate historical records and common traditions and others do not. That's the way it was, prior to Google, eh? I'm not saying you suffer from it, but...perhaps you might want to study up on Rigid Personality. Despite what you apparently think and believe, everything is *not* either/or. -- The new GOP credo: Hate the people who are being oppressed, love the people who are doing the oppressing. |

It's odd that you are soooo tolerant of Jews yet you despise other religions. |
