You can argue that the charges were fabricated and the remains were just cremations of infants who died naturally, but it seems pretty coincidental and conspiratorial.
Link to sources, please, so that I can examine them myself?
Quote:OK, you agree that the Bible says it was judgment. Going back and forth between discussing the Bible's contents when you find that convenient, and saying you don't believe in god anyway when the text is inconvenient, is intellectually dishonest. Go one way or the other.
I don't care what the Bible says it was. I believe that it was not an actual judgment by a god, just a mythologized excuse for a military failure. I'm looking for the probable real-world conditions that inspired the nonsense in the Bible, and am under no obligation to take any of it seriously when more plausible explanations are so near at hand. Until empirically demonstrated, it's all mythology and mythologized history.
