For those who want proof of the exodus
RE: For those who want proof of the exodus
So yeah, they trotted out the Ipuwer Papyrus  and no matter how many experts on the subject told him that he was wrong he just knows that it has to be about the Exodus.  Then we get into pits filled with bodies at Avaris and the Semitic peoples are gone!  What else could explain that other than the Exodus?

Well, Egyptian history tells us that Ahmose I attacked Avaris and drove the Hyksos back into Canaan where he pursued them to Sharuhen and defeated them again.  I'm not sure what is so surprising about enemy dead being thrown into a mass grave by the victors but Rohl and Mahoney seem unable to grasp the concept.

Then there is the amazing oversight of failing to even mention the Tel-el-Amarna library which outlines the political situation in Canaan during the reigns of Amenhotep III and IV (better known as Akhenaten) and which demonstrates the total lack of any "Israelite" presence in Canaan in the middle of the 18th Dynasty.  This is not shoddy scholarship.  This is outright dishonesty.

And, of course, in order to make it all work they need to shift Egyptian history forward by 300 years and it is important to understand that Rohl's whole point is that he is trying to make history conform to the bible by any means necessary.

Drippy, if you are impressed by this horseshit you are even dumber than I thought.

Drich = mighty moron.

It's one thing to believe bullshit, but it's something special when they insist we're the dumb ones for not believing it.

I'm guessing it doesn't work then. Otherwise, we'd have been flooded with fundies trying to convert us rather than drippy slightly dampening the carpet.

I'd be impressed with a double seven. But then again the only man awesome enough to do that tried to kill the gods.

Yeah; but Cohen the Barbarian. The octogenarian warrior that Chuck Norris has nightmares about.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Cohen could do that not only without breaking a sweat, but without even seeming to move.

RE: For those who want proof of the exodus
Is it just me who is completely confused when christians abbreviate things?

I was confused as to what this "A/E" Drich was mentioning time after time was, for a good fifteen minutes before finally understanding what it meant.

The fuck is FSM?

"Hey guys did you know the evidence for god lies in the ASTUMENFOMQALAKMEKFHIAMKCHHUEJTPPAMLSMFBHZUHEIIJJNRKALAL?"
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
