What do Atheists believe the Bible as?

"The date for the composition of this document is unknown." - I don't know how you got the 1000 AD thing.
Additionally, the similarity of the Ipuwer and Exodus is stunning. It was virtually impossible for an Egyptian to get their hands on a copy of Moses' books since duplicating was incredibly difficult, let alone locating Moses and his books, finding time to copy it, and then return to Egypt to write the Ipuwer. Furthermore, what incentive would an Egyptian have to write about an event that supports Christian religion? I find it incredibly hard to believe that one would write against their religion for money.

I agree it has a number of parallels but it also has a number of contradictions. Ipuwer has nothing to do with Christianity it is a mutually exclusive document. I alsoe misstyped when i wrote AD. should have been BC.


"The invading force... does it specify anything about the force?"
an invading force is usually the colloquial term for an army. If it was locusts of frogs or any number of beastie why didn't it say so ?

This is another example of a document which can very loosely be shown similar to the Bible used as "proof"

The document is a poem, it is a work of prose. Its origin is unknown. It could have been written in hindsight, It could be based of the same origin story of exodus, It could be based on a vision of the future, propogade tool. numerous reasons for its existance. Yet its used by some as "proof"
