Quote:Did tens of thousands of Israelites conspire to fabricate the history of the Exodus? If those events did not occur, and those recorded miracles were not experienced by tens of thousands of Israelites, why would they subject themselves to such a burdensome legal code and hard life?
The person in question doesn't seems interested in there being or not archeological evidence for the event.
Are there any examples of people in other religions doing something similar? I know he would reject such accounts but it would be nice to point it to him to show him why I reject the Bible account
1 - Why did Thousands of Egyptian warriors fight for their gods - if they were not real? (And thousands of warriors from other religions for their gods) ANd their gods - at least some of them WERE actually real - they could be seen and heard - and still today their mummies can be seen as well.
2 - If the 72 virigns are not real - why would a billions Islamic men put themselves under that rule?
The problem is that such claims are simple ways to point out the lack of intelligence of uneducated humans before they learned to read and write.
And stupid people will do lots of foolish things when told that an almighty creator god will kill them if they eat meat on a friday in lent and then subject them to eternal punishment for it as well.
