Oh Jesus, and slog through all that Bible quoting?
Right then. Later tonight I'll confirm if I've figured out the point you're trying to make.

That's the point of your argument right. Not like your argument has anything to do with some greater, higher, mystical truth right? Just a science project. You're being a bit vague. 'Kind of do'? What do you mean? You mean someone before me posted the possiblity yahweh was a volcano and he also got laughed out of the place for mentioning something from the Bible? 
People get laughed out of here all the time for citing the bible as an authority. Don't feel special about it.

I don't know, I haven't been here long enough, I'd have to do a search, but that would be pretty interesting. You're right, I was being a bit to snippy with you in that response.
Yes, Hannah, we do know that exodus is a myth. Yes Hannah, we do know why god is described the way that he is. Yes Hannah, we do know where the ancient hebrews came from.

I have no doubt you lot hunt out people who mention the Bible so that each one of you can feel special when they slate them. Bloody parrots the lot of you!
Praise be to whatever the hell!

The ten plagues of Egypt clearly occured due to the Santorini eruption. They experienced the aftermath of it. They must have been in Egypt to have experienced the fallout but to have not seen the volcano. Saying it's all myth is as bad as a Christian saying it's all the actual word of God. It's more complex than either or. I disagree. There is no "clearly" about it. It is food for thought, but nothing more. There is another theory that the island of Santorini's destruction due to the volcano led to the myth of Atlantis. There are a lot of points to this story that make sense. However, you can't say that is "clearly" the case, because clear implies it is obvious. There is nothing obvious about the Bible. It may not be myth from front to back, but it is "clearly" the work of hearsay. You do realize that there was a huge gap between the events in the Bible, the life of Jesus and the writing of the Bible, right? Have you ever played that game "telephone" where someone whispers something in another's ear and that continues down a line of people until the last person says it loud? Nearly every time the end result is different than the initial whispered sweet nothing.

Because that was the way people drew him and described him before he was rebranded
