Quote:If you want to decide religious questions using sense, then you have to concede that *all* of it is nonsense. The basis are superstitious myths accepted by ignorant primitives but not credible to educated, informed, and logical moderns. Any vale found in religion cannot come from its false premises, and thus must be in spite of rather than because of religion.The pseudonyms probably are an attempt to protect any family left behind.
Let's tackle one nut at a time. I'm still unclear about Moses -- and... his time is well obscured in history where the only histories are entirely one sided, and probably into the realms of mythology. Often, with literature, I use what I call the *sniff* test. Much of it stinks. I think I've said this before, but... I'm unwilling to declare a whole bunch of human experience and philosophy nonsense without sifting through it.
