Hi,
BTW, why not: Which makes more sense? Moses was a prophet and heard God speak to him, or Moses was a war lord who sought to justify his rule through co-opting various popular local religious beliefs and adding his own spin to it.
If you want to decide religious questions using sense, then you have to concede that *all* of it is nonsense. The basis are superstitious myths accepted by ignorant primitives but not credible to educated, informed, and logical moderns. Any vale found in religion cannot come from its false premises, and thus must be in spite of rather than because of religion.

Quote:Here is another ex-Muslim author . . .What I find interesting is the apparent tendency for anti-Muslim writers to use pseudonyms. They claim that it is for fear or reprisals. Anti-Christian writers, OTOH, don't seem to be concerned about their identity. Not sure of all the implications there, but it does seem a bit telling.
