An Egyptian analogy

Post #1

Post by Willum »

Has it occurred to anyone else, that the chronology of the Egyptian religion is identical to the Christian religion?

In the beginning there was chaos, then the gods in the pantheon, then came the one god, Aten, then he was replaced by the resurrection cult of Osiris.

Where in the Christian religion:

In the beginning there was chaos, then the gods in the pantheon, then came the one god, Yahweh, then he was replaced by the resurrection cult of Jesus.

Isn’t it almost as if the Roman’s put modern lipstick on the Egyptian pig, then spread it through their trade lanes?

Hardly a meaningful or informed response. Actually, a classic example of a Claytons response (the response you give when you are not giving a response).
Actually, I said much more than that...but that is the only thing you decided to quote.

This is selective quoting.

Tsk, tsk.
NOPE. That was ALL you wrote in response to "In which case he is hardly in a position to judge sinners". But I realise that you had nothing meaningful and informed to say after you put your foot in it with your original claim.

Ohhh, is that what it is about? Ok..lets play it out..

Me: God doesn't know what it is like to sin.

You: In which case he is hardly in a position to judge sinners.

That is about as bad as a non sequitur as you can make.

There are plenty of judges out there who doesn't know what it is like to commit murder, but they are judging/sentencing murderers every day.

So based on your logic, no judge should be in seats of judgement unless they have experience committing crimes that the accused are on trial for committing.

Text book non sequitur.

Now, of course I knew of such faulty reasoning before I made the whole ant/sun comment (which I chose because it is shorter, sweeter, funnier, and just as relevant).

But thanks to your persistence, I can expose your faulty logic for what it truly is.

Huzzah!! :D

So you’re omniscient God doesn’t know what it’s like to sin?
What happened, did he miss omniscience lessons?

I’m curious… Does he know what it’s like to be sinned against? Does he understand sensations and pain? Emotions?

I will never understand how someone who claims to know the ultimate truth, of God, believes they deserve respect, when they cannot distinguish it from a fairy-tale.

You know, science and logic are hard: Religion and fairy tales might be more your speed.

To continue to argue for the Hebrew invention of God is actually an insult to the very concept of a God. - Divine Insight

No.

Yeah, he missed the lessons being taught on unholiness.
I’m curious… Does he know what it’s like to be sent against?
He lives it.
Does he understand sensations and pain? Emotions?
Ever read the Bible? Obviously.

So your reprobate god knows the helplessness of a child being penetrated by a family priest.
And does nothing.
He knows the feeling of that penetration, and does nothing, by your own claim.

Everyone I know would stop it.
Your god must be some kind of demented demon.

And you approve.
Watch.

Not minding that while he dithers innocent people suffer unnecessarily. He knows. That in itself is an indictment.

Be careful with such statements..because if God purged the world of evil, he might just start with you first.

See, I knew you would approve of the reprobate practices of your demon-god.

I can’t see why I would treat with someone who venerates demons.

Um, no.

Ancient Egypt was always polytheism (besides the reign of Akhenaten).

Judeo-Christianity has always been monotheism.

Apples/oranges.
Well, there was a shift from 'We worship Yahway above all others' to 'Yahweh is the only God' . Remember Asherah worship was fairly common until about the 3rd century bce. The trying to stamp out the worship of other gods was a process, and there was a shift of belief over several centuries.
