Problems With the Bible Pt 7 - Moses

The latest in the problems with the bible series, this video talks about Moses from the time of his birth to the time he parted the red sea (its a fairly short video because my recording room was stupidly hot, thanks Georgia) soon I'll be discussing the more interesting parts of Moses's life, like when he becomes a warmonger and starts capturing little girls to be his sex slaves.  Also the video is unnaturally red so its not just you, blame my editor

I don't take it literally so it is as wrong as the movie based on real events.

I can't listen to that guy.

But Moses is as phony as a $3 bill.

In 2360 B.C.: I am Sargon, the powerful king, the king of Akkad. My mother was an Enitu priestess, I did not know any father . . . . My mother conceived me and bore me in secret. She put me in a little box made of reeds, sealing its lid with pitch. She put me in the river. . . . The river carried me away and brought me to Akki the drawer of water. Akki the drawer of water adopted me and brought me up as his son. . .

The basket-story is a very old Semitic folk-tale. It was handed down by word of mouth for many centuries. The Sargon legend of the third millennium B.C. is found on Neo-Babylonian cuneiform tablets of the first millennium B.C. It is nothing more than the frills with which prosperity has always loved to adorn the lives of great men. Who would dream of doubting the historicity of the Emperor Barbarossa, simply because he is said to be still sleeping under Kyffhauser?

I wonder where they got the story from?

Yeah, I gotta say, anything without citations / sources is poopy stinky.
