If this was so, the apostles and prophets from Joseph Smith on would have told us so. everything I have ever heard from modern prophets teaches that the old history of the world is true and historical unless you choose to believe that our religion is based upon lies, fairy tales, and faith promoting nonsense. I suppose you might also think Moses was a myth because there is not one scrap of credible evidence of Moses or the Israelites in Egypt and I hope you don't choose to argue this point with me because you will loose big time. So beware! >That's your assumption, but it doesn't say anything about them in the Bible. >That's the problem with trying to deal with the Bible as a secular history -- it >doesn't fit. Since when does the Bible tell all? I suppose you also think the Book for Mormon is not a secular history too? You are marching on really shaky ground the kind of which I dare not go and the kind which if you werer to teach from the pulpit you would find yourself being yanked to the floor by the bishop. Also, maybe our whole religious experience is self induced with naturally occurring chemicals in our brains that make us wishy washy? Maybe the whole thing is a joke? Maybe we don't even really exist. Would someone pinch me please?
