Atheism, the short lived idea?

[Isurus]

Its over-skepticism. I had done a couple of days research into the historicity of Moses, Joseph and David and I was going to throw it all in. I am at a Chrstian University (Not one of those crazy ones) and I asked the OT scholar there some hard questions. I said, 'You do realise there is zero evidence for a historical Moses, Abraham and Joseph.' He said, 'I know, does that mean they didnt exist?' My skepticism collapsed, I had no reason to be overy-skeptic or doubt the existence of Abraham, Joseph and Moses...From then on it was nearly a straight path back to theism.

I don't think atheists are trying to disprove the existance of specific human beings. I would not sit here and argue that there was not someone, during biblical times, named ""Moses, Abraham, or Joseph". I'm sure there were plenty; and, there may have well been a religious leader of the Hebrews/Israelites named Moses...ect. But that point is irrelevant. I think what atheists are trying to convey is the lack of evidence that these people were anything more than just that; people.
