Yeah, the thing to me is the foundations seem pretty shaky. I mean if the book of the law which is usually known as the pentateuch was really found under the temple floorboards shortly before the babylonian exile as stated in the book of kings, then much of the rest of the history is bunk. It's like if abraham received a covenant in the land of Canaan during the the time he lived then he assuredly received it from El. Who was referred to often as a bull. And often represented as a golden calf. Then there is the whole bit about israelites being commanded to exterminate canaanites yet they wrote the bible in canaanite and appear to have had lots of the same rituals such as topheths and temple prostitutes.

Say what you want about Constantine and the council of nicea. The foundations are even shakier from what little I can see.

With that said. I'm certain god is real. Guess I'm a walking contradiction.

I agree with you. I never said god wasn’t real, I’m questioning the story of the Bible is all.

I was agreeing with you also. It is fascinating stuff.

Thanks for the discussion.
