Objective Morality?

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Well I am looking forward to Ryft’s debate on the reality of Exodus, not sure how you could assert it didn’t happen with such confidence. As for the polytheism point, you know this how?

That Moses and the Exodus are almost certainly myth has been widely accepted by Egyptologists for over a decade. However,the issue is not yet resolved.


It's virtually certain that what became monotheistic Judaism had thousands of polytheists within it up to at least the seventh century bce.Israel Finkelstein has found literally thousands of female deity figures in Israel dating to the seventh century.

"Did God Have A Wife?"

Did God Have a Wife?: Archaeology and Folk Religion in Ancient Israel, (Eerdmans, ISBN 0-8028-2852-3, 2005),[1] is a book by Syro-Palestinian archaeologist William G. Dever, Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Archeology and Anthropology at the University of Arizona. “Did God Have a Wife?” was intended as a popular work making available to the general public the evidence long known to archaeologists regarding ancient Israelite religion: namely that the Israelite God of antiquity (before 600 BC), Yahweh, had a consort, that her name was Asherah, and that she was part of the Canaanite pantheon.[quote]
