It's been a while since i've posted anything on any forum, but I made a discovery or a rediscovery some months ago; let's say it's a discovery because I have'nt encountered anybody or anything that put the two things together or even believed the two were compatible- and thats why i'm writing on here now.
For those of your familar with the texts and practises of the Ancient Egyptian religion, you may have found that the commandments of the egyptian faith are identical to those we're taught to believe god told Moses personally. But the fact that Moses was of egyptian origin- hanging around with the educated ruling class who would have known the intricacies of religious conduct better than others- would bring to mind that Moses' first encounter with anything remotely resembling any kind of divine commandments, would have been from the egyptian religion. For Moses to produce a copy of these commandments after fleeing egypt and claim that these commandments were how his new god had demanded this was how humans live, and then for Moses to become a prophet suggests strongly to me that this Moses' character was a fraudster trying to instill the social order of the egyptians into his slave followers. Or while not having every egyptian commandment, Moses' version had a few, so he was careful enough to use them to keep people under control, but not to bring about social harmony as the egyptians had strived for.
Anyhow, perhaps everybody who read that now had already known it, but that leaves my asking myself; why when Moses', a vital pillar in Christianity and Islam is so obviously full of shit are more people not realising this?
That's my question.
Any thoughts?
