(You can prove this was fiction as much as the bible can prove it was fact)
I'm sorry, was I off base in my previous statement, here I had taken to understand that you were advocating for an entire race of thieving people, criminals on the run from Pharoah, who later rewrote history to hide their acts.
Well, that is a possibility isn't it? Moses was a murderer. He killed an Egyptian in cold blood and hid his body in the sand. Stealing is small fry to murder. The Bible says they stole when they fled. They built a statue of a calf in gold at Mount Sinai. Had they been just slaves as claimed by Christians, they wouldn't have had the gold. All I'm saying is that it is at least a coincidence that the Hebrews left with lots of Egyptian gold and silver, and the Egyptians had, evidence proves, a theft problem with a bunch of people living on the fringe.
