Felix Culpa Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I was watching something not paying attention to something in World History the other day that really surprised me. Well, two things really. I was first watching a video that showed all the empires that had controlled the little strip of land known as Asia Minor and Egypt. There were the Hittites, the three Kingdoms of Egypt, the kingdom of Isreal, Ottomans, Romans, Greeks, Byzantine, Mongol, and Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan's empires all stretched covering these areas. Also, the next day, we were looking through a slideshow that had a little bit to do with religion-history. Behind the book of Exodus, there is actual historic evidence pertaining to where Moses parted the Red Sea and brought the 2-3 Million (yes MILLION) Jews to freedom from slavery in Egypt the process went as such. • The process of escaping probably occured at night, to give them the most time before many of the Egyptians woke up.• They went to Aqaba beach, where there is a large enough space that all the Jews could fit on it. There was a single hill outlined by very steep hills.• Aqaba Beach has a clear view of Saudi Arabia from the shore. • There is an underwater land bridge that spans the distance from shore to shore.• When the tide recedes, the bridge becomes visible. Now about that pillar of fire that staved off the Pharoah's chariots? Simple driftwood fire. 'Could they have gone around it?' No. The hills were to steep for the chariots to ride on. • From there, they walked across the Red Sea's underwater land bridge. • Mt. Sinai, where Moses received the ten commandments is located in Saudi Arabia. Now for the historic proof.• Does everyone know the Solomon Memorial Pillars? Well, they were pillars put in Aqaba Beach and the opposing side in Saudi Arabia. The Arab's have taken their pillar down, but the Egyptian one still stands, though the inscriptions faded. They read 'Moses', 'Egyptian' and a few other words. [spoiler=Maps and Pictures] This is the location of Mt. Sinai. If you look, there is a small, but noticible extension from the Egypt side. This is Aqaba. What is this? An underwater landbridge? This is one of the Chariot wheels from the Pharoah's chariots, who obviously didn't make it to the other side fast enough. There are some bones long since sanded, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyire Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 What are you trying to prove? That Moses existed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Culpa Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I am not trying to prove that Moses did exist. I am trying to prove to people (HORUS) that things in religion really did happen... It's pretty much my calm=rant not-anti-religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 ITT: proving one part of the Bible correct proves the whole Bible correct. I don't think HORUS, myself, or anyone else would be ignorant enough to say the Bible has not an ounce of accuracy to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Culpa Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well, then again, with HORUS's radicalist atheist beliefs, posting such great God doesn't exist threads. You've got to wonder. I have atheist friends, and I'm okay with that. It's just radicalist atheists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 The bible is based off of some true events. It's just they are often exaggerated to convey the power of god. The story of the great flood is likely based off a true event, it’s just the flood was no where near as great as in the bible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntar! Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 HORUS wouldn't deny that historical things actually happened, he'd be a moron if he did so, but he'd be against saying that they were divinely inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntar! Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Most religions started a long time ago, because people didn't know enough about the world and thought supernatural of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also' date=' doesn't most religion have historical roots? :/[/quote']I'd assume some one is holding down F5 (or is it 4, meh) Yea, most things in religious writing are based on some true event, and like I said, they make some changes to it to fit their need and to convey some message.

Dark Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Most meaning all, yeah. Atheists are generally smart people, and we don't make idiotic assumptions. This is serious buisness, and we would rather not be reprimanded as most of the WORLD is against us. I know that as well. But we refuse to believe in OTHER parts of the Bible people believe in. Like Noah's arc and whatnot. People believed that happened. And I don't see what morals you get out of that, so whoever wrote the Bible probably wants you take it literally; not interpretivley (sp?).

Sid. Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 There is a lot of evidence that relates to the bible/quran/torah/etc, yet people still refuse to believe that it is true. People can debate that the land bridge only gets out of the water because of Global Warming, and people can debate that it was always like that. Its personal beliefs and religious beliefs in the end. But i think this is interesting and pretty awesome though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 *facedesk* No one is saying the Bible is wrong in its entirety. The Bible obviously has some correct points to it, just as a cartoon like Spongebob has some correct points to it. What I am saying is I think the story about Adam and Eve, and Noah, and the countless other stories are LIKE SPONGEBOB, false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid. Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Im just stupid. Dont doubt it for a second. I wasnt saying that people disagree the entire bible and its contents, I was just saying that some people will put debates and arguments against it, because people are asses like that. Your right when you say that the bible does have some truth in it, but again, so does every other funking book in this planet. Only a little of it can be proved, and everything else is up to personal choice/opinion/belief. I did write a good two paragraphs more to what you said, but again, im stupid. It'll just be turned down and "LOLN00BSTFUnGTFONAO" like every other thing in this forum that actually has a decent retort infused in it. It gets annoying when your talking about religion or religious stuff, because no matter what you say or do, someone will turn you down. Whats the point of writing stuff if it just gets turned down or laughed at? Its like making a baby just to have it mocked for its small penis or something. Btw, SPONGEBOB IS REAL D:< MOMMY SAID SO D:> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
