Your speculation has no traction against the evidence within the writings that suggest they were written centuries after Moses' time. It debunks any sort of lead author/scribe/contributor theory in the blink of an eye unfortunately, leaving us with the conclusion that some scribes eventually wrote down the traditions after centuries. That's what scholarship tells us; 5 authors are responsible for the Pentateuch and, given the internal evidence, they lived centuries after Moses.

Once you either correct your error or prove that "every Christian" thinks otherwise, I'll answer your deflection...

When you can't prove your religion to be true, at least try and win any trivial debate, right?
And when you're shown a point in which you're incorrect, build a strawman and deflect away from the issue, huh?
I'm not trying to prove "my religion" as true, now am I? (I now require an answer to this before I address your earlier deflection)
You know..., I'm starting to get tired of saying this to sooo many people, but pay attention to what I write and NOT what you imagine, OK?

I've done it a few times, but I don't make fucking excuses for it. I acknowledge my mistake and move on. I don't need to be right all the time, so being wrong doesn't bother me as much as it appears to bother you. I tend to think my words are clear and concise, but obviously some people get confused. Perhaps some are not used to this method and don't recognise it or perhaps they do and just don't care.
So you now move the goalposts and claim "majority"... I think this subject would make a good thread because I actually think that statement is incorrect too. Shall we make a poll and find out, or would being wrong about that too cause your brain too much grief?
Patiently awaiting your continued deflection...
