The Bible is the West's book. It's big, it's old, it's been poorly treated, but it's still history and it's still wisdom.
. I don't even use the Bible when I look at the original texts. I read the translation of Hebrew texts by Jews who translate the stuff into English. The Bible to me is a sideshow, an edited book, copied from older texts, and hardly relevant when it comes to discussions about Exodus.
And when it comes to Exodus, both the Hebrew text and therefore the Bible fall apart. Those who refuse to see this are just shocked and suffer from cognitive dissonance, which of course is very human.
As a couple of us mentioned before, it is supremely absurd to claim that tens of thousands - or hundreds of thousands - of Hebrews who ran away from Egypt in a hurry were able to travel around, fight, dwell, die, be born, eat, defecate, and break plates all over the Sinai for a long period of time without leaving a
single trace. What you guys need to do, if you want to say Exodus happened, is to claim that since we live in parallel universes, it happened in aln alternate reality, and that somehow the story got here and was adopted. The claim that it happened in an alternate reality is just as fantastic as saying they did it in our own universe, but at least you get around the lack of any archeological or tangible proof. Those who say Exodus happened are just unable to accept that the Hebrew religion is full of holes, and this of course makes Christianity and Islam just as holy.
