Interesting article about the evidence of the Jewish Exodus

by cappytan in

the reality is that there is no evidence whatsoever that the jews were ever enslaved in egypt.

yes, there's the story contained within the bible itself, but that's not a remotely historically admissible source.

i'm talking about real proof; archeological evidence, state records and primary sources.

The reality is that there is no evidence whatsoever that the Jews were ever enslaved in Egypt. Yes, there's the story contained within the bible itself, but that's not a remotely historically admissible source. I'm talking about real proof; archeological evidence, state records and primary sources. Of these, nothing exists. It is hard to believe that 600,000 families (which would mean about two million people) crossed the entire Sinai without leaving one shard of pottery (the archeologist's best friend) with Hebrew writing on it. It is remarkable that Egyptian records make no mention of the sudden migration of what would have been nearly a quarter of their population, nor has any evidence been found for any of the expected effects of such an exodus; such as economic downturn or labor shortages. Furthermore, there is no evidence in Israel that shows a sudden influx of people from another culture at that time. No rapid departure from traditional pottery has been seen, no record or story of a surge in population.

Feeling A Bit Down Today

hey y'all, .

i'm not sure about you, but i occasionally get those days where i feel a bit down, as if i have no friends.

i do have a number of great friends, though, and am very thankful for them.. i think it might have to do with the residual programming of having a "worldwide brotherhood".

All I have to say man is, you've got a friend in me.

lf you could ask god questions what would they be?

by atomant in

thought it might be an interesting exercise to read the variety of questions people might ask.

"Wow! Oh geeze! God! So nice to meet you! I have so many questions. The first of which is: can you please call a doctor? Why? Oh, because I'm obviously having hallucinations and having a conversation with those hallucinations, so I must be experiencing some kind of psychological break or have a brain tumor or something."

Any weapons enthusiasts here?

by Wonderment in

i knew i had a couple of firearms around the house, and one in the car.

however, i didn't realize i had seven, yes, seven of them, when i proceeded to count them.

the reason for that is that i haven't gone to the shooting range in years.

Those of you touting hairspray as a pepper spray substitute clearly have never accidentally sprayed themselves with pepper spray.

Pepper spray vs hairspray is like the difference between a runny nose and an asthma attack.

I don't believe it is a futile discussion. It's because of discussions like these that I woke up to more than TTATT. I woke up to The Truth About Theism.

And my life is much more peaceful, satisfying, fulfilling and vibrant due to waking up.

I refuse to trade one form of slavery for another. I am a moral person because I want to be, not because I want to please some guy in the sky that might destroy or torture me if I mess up.
