That because you are a nutty YEC moron, Waldork. Why worry about some fucking burning bush when history and archaeology has shown that there was no exodus at all. Leave it to the moron class to fixate on bullshit when the entire fabric of the story is at best mythological and at worst blatant propaganda from a thousand years later.
Do you believe in King Arthur because no one can show that Excalibur was not real?

I believe that I can fly and that all I have to do in order to fly is throw myself at the ground and miss. I know this is true, because I believe the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the Galaxy's revealed nature, and the Galaxy does not lie.

No it doesn't. All it means is that if it really did happen it would be a miracle, which is exactly what scripture describes it as. Next.

"IF" being the assumption you need. I need none. Also, don't use "if" because it makes you look like a pansy liberal christian.

Haha. Just because I've only recently started arguing here, doesn't mean I haven't had the arguments before elsewhere. I just like to play good cop, I like the discussion.

Could you please put me back on your "ignore" list? You are nothing but a troll and a waste of time.
