Usually, I don't post on threads that have more than 3 pages. I wish you luck on your pioneering. I'll send word for you when I will need a maid or a window-washer for any of my villas.

David was the king of Israel. He had all the power to put words in God's mouth and to write them in the Bible. Anyone but the king would have been severely punished. But kings can do anything and pretend they act in God's name and with God's blessing. History is full of such vile conduit. I think the very idea of God was introduced by the first tribe-leaders in the stone-age. The tribe-leader and the shaman: absolute power over every aspect of people's lives.

I never had love for Jay Hoover. I did FS because of my hope for Paradise and eternal life. When I realized that the Bible is a scam and that all religions are hoaxes, I left. My hope is to live 80 years. I know I will die and never be ressurected again. No one ever turns back from the dead. Not even Jesus.

One of the Romanian televisions presented in a news bulletin something that looked like a poltergeist manifestation of a dead girl, in her former home. The parents were horrified and scared. Objects flew out of nowhere, objects were found moved, etc. After about a week, the same television announced the solving of the case. The girl's brother, a 13 years old boy, did all those things in order to have some fun. He hid in the closets and used to throw shoes in the room when his parents were sleeping. He also placed objects of his dead sister in various awkward places.
I think it may be the same in this here case. Like 9/11, it might be an "inside job".

Can anyone post a scan or give a link to a scan of a blood directive? Perhaps in a new thread?

No. On the blood directive, the transfusion of integral blood or of the four primary components is completely rejected by default. You only get to pick if you want alternative treatments and/or secondary fractions.

If, for the sake of the discussion, we admit the Exodus was a true historical fact, then I doubt the Jews were in such a bad strategic context. If they indeed left Egypt, that was because the Pharaoh feared them in some manner, not because of the plagues. Maybe they were indeed numerous and rioting already. I also think that Moses - if he was real - had at least some basic military knowledge, if he was not quite an experienced strategist. Now, the story of the dividing of the waters of the Red Sea is obviously bullshit. A more plausible scenario could be that the Jews expected a cavalry-charriots attack from behind and they organized an ambush somewhere on the top of a narrow passage or a valley, where egyptian fast-moving forces would lose the advantage of speed and arrows. After the Egyptian force failed to see the danger (perhaps they were too hasty to scout ahead), they tried to cross the narrow valley, but were trapped inside and butchered. In a metaphorical sense, the Jews drowned them in arrows and thrown rocks, like the Red Sea. Also, the pillar of fire that lead the Jews could have been just a big torch carried by the vanguard so that the long row of people could follow without getting lost during the night. Like a beacon. Perhaps the Jews fooled the Egyptians with a false beacon and drew them into the trap. All these could have happened if the Exodus is a historical fact. But every supernatural intervention in the Book of Exodus, in this context, is nothing more than superstition and make-believe. If you convince a mob that their leader is God's chosen, they will follow him anywhere, to the death. There is nothing supernatural here. If Exodus was real, many numbers and facts were heavily hyperbolised and exaggerated in such a way that the fact itself becomes unrecognizable.

God and the Meaning of Life: Where I Now Stand
by neverendingjourney infifteen years ago, jehovah god was as real as the ground below me.
as it turns out, my belief was founded on lies, half-truths, and a burning desire on my part to possess a theory of everything, something that tied up all the loose ends and make sense of the world.. i stopped going to meetings nearly six years ago, and ive mostly given up the search for the ever-elusive theory of everything.
im not really a science guy, but ive read a few books on atheism and biology in the past few years.

"Look it wasn't a global flood.."
by Qcmbr ini've heard the statement from bible apologists so many times that the global flood story of genesis was not a global flood but was probably a local flood.
this seems problematic.. this directly disagrees with the bible.
everywhere the bible internally references a global flood of worldwide scale (i'll throw in matthew 24:39 as a nt example and genesis 6:17 as a ot example.

You are using an invented book (the Bible) to discuss an invented event (the Flood) caused by an invented being (God). Is there no mental sanity left in the world?

There are several myths that can be identified in many ancient cultures and still exist today in some form: eternal youthness, the idea of sacrifice in order to achieve something extraordinary, the existence and the immortality of the soul, the birth of man from the earth, the deluge, the Armaggeddon, etc. Some cannot be verified, some have been proven to be fairytales. The fact that an idea is present in more than one culture does not prove the truthfulness of that idea. People have worshipped and gave offerings to the dead all around the globe and during all historical periods, but has anyone saw any dead man rising from his grave? The evidence is a wall for even the most beloved biblical myths. People rely their hope in eternal life on stories about a certain individual who raised the dead. Well, did he? Can anyone testify? Is that fact possible today? Is it verifiable? If not, that that story has the same value as any fairytale. It's beautiful, entertaining, but it's just a dream.
God, Adam, the deluge, the prophets, Jesus, all are just myths. Mankind's opium, as Marx once said.
