really!? like what?if you read the old testament carefully, you can interpret all the info about their god as actually being a volcano
I did a bit of research and it turns out you were right on some grounds. There are no clear references to the 10 plagues although there are references to a "time of darkness" as outlined by the Ipuwer Papyrus in which Egypt is described as a place of chaos, turned upside down by natural disasters and chaos. As for sources about Jews being slaves, the Merneptah stele outlines a victory of Egypt over the Jewish nation where the "Jews were crushed but their seeds weren't"No recordings of the Egyptians and the Plagues or even the Jews being slaves in Egypt outside of the bible fucking lol
Jesus was a trickster, it's easy to do 'miracles'
What's more likely, someone did a bit of sleight of hand or actually suspended the laws of nature?
That's true, most of the plagues have an incredibly logical explanation, centred around the theory that the river turning to blood was caused by algae colouring and changing the taste of the water. However some aren't. For example, the last plague, that of the death of the firstborns, cannot easily be explained.I thought they'd figured out how the plagues could have come about naturally.
A chain reaction involving a volcano or red algae or something.
hahareally!? like what?
Or rather many talking, walking volcanoeshaha
watch YouTube - Was God a Volcano?
this dude runs thru all the passages u can interpret as god being a volcano
It's called making shit up to justify your holy book's twisted sense of morality.When you say Jesus was a trickster, how do you explain the death and resurrection? Staying on a cross until death, being stabbed by a spear (the stabbing with a spear ensured he was dead, so the theory that he never really died is out of the equation) and returning three days later is rather special, something I wouldn't do just for the sake of a joke

:Hat:Racism is biological you stupid fuck, you can't change it.
If an idiot chooses to believe in a sky fairy I sure as fucking hell can all them out on it because there's no rational reason in the entire world to believe a magical wizard does everything
ALL FANATICS MUST DIE!Religious people historically have been the most intolerant as a group, so not tolerating some of the things they do/say/believe is not necessarily a negative thing. The world would be better off if all religious people were killed. Just saying.
I'm primarily an Atheist.religion is more offensive than anything anyone can say about it
if you're a theist you have to rationalize and defend this:
They don't claim it, sweetheart.well it is theists who have to explain it if they claim it
Free will or not, their magic man still set up the universe in such a way as to produce that outcome... if it's an omniscient flavour of magic man then it's even worseThey don't claim it, sweetheart.
That's the wonderful thing about religion,
it's so easy to shirk moral obligation.
You just need to include one line about 'free will'
being bestowed upon all humans by god and voila!
They can pick and choose what to take the blame for and what not to.
They can blame poverty on the non-believers,
and charity on god. Ingenious, isn't it?
No. This is an incredibly poor logical justification swallowed and used only by fucktards.You just need to include one line about 'free will'
