@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 ANYWAYS we have gone severely off topic, I enjoyed our original debate about the Bible
Most people just say “god blah blah blah go to hell” you stayed debating and brought up some points
So good on you
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 You can look up COI it gets bad at around 5%
Considering your example and mine both around 13% still isn’t looking good ether ways
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 King Louis XIV was also 3rd generation of his family and look how messed up he was
There is also a much simpler solution, yes there was a flood in the middle eastern region, afterwards people eventually migrated to the region for XYZ reasons and life moved forward as it does
@Steve83802177@Coste1Costello All they had to do was maintain a regular presence as a member of the press not some random yahoo doing it for freelance
Biden never kicked someone out just because they asked a few tough questions or because they highlighted negative press like the orange did
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 The known world during the biblical times was Mediterranean, Asia, Middle East
Even when the Nile floods doesn’t mean the whole world did
Anyways getting off topic, in said story everybody drowned aside noas family, so everybody is inbreed? How did humanity bounce back?
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Exaggerations happen all the time
What my point was supposed to be was biblical/mythos stories always blow things way out of proportion to the event vs what actually happened
Again like the arc/Gilgamesh thing
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Of course civilization adapts but when it comes to the shared story of floods like that no amount of adapting could save it, you tend to wonder if the “exaggeration of stories told over time” tends to take it too far
Much like Noah’s arc/epic of Gilgamesh
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Alright, periodic points of massive flooding I’ll agree to that
But where are the modern days of massive flood, surely it’s time for one and surely the 2 dams on the Nile now isn’t enough to stop these biblical levels of periodic flooding the book said happened
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Egytian mythology is way older than Christianity by at least 5000 years
The origins of the flood story tho could easily be originated by Mesopotamia mythology
Since religions take from others that is also a possibility and the Egyptian and Meso were near/next to each other
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Copying someone’s work and claiming it as their own
You do know there is more than one form of plagiarism right
Changing a few details
Or combining two different works
Etc…
Feels like the Bible is under the form of changing details more specifically patchwork plagiarism
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Not blatant plagiarism,
Never said it was a line for line copy, more like a lazy college student changing a few words and names and saying its original kind of way
And again since most similarities are Egyptian makes sense considering that’s where Christianity stared roughly
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Also the Bible does pick and choose what to plagerise
Water into wine like Dionysus in the greeks
Osiris dying and resurrection Egyptian
Horus being born from a virgin again Egypt
Shouldn’t be surprised that a lot of stuff coming from Egyptian mythology
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Can say the same to you
Agree to disagree ether ways, everybody already knows religious people will stop at nothing to defend their beliefs and dismiss any criticisms as “they just don’t understand”
@OrignalJohnCena@darrysung@Ernest1588761 Typical Christian
If it isnt going your way all you do is tell em to read a bible
Shoving your own religion in others faces
