But I pretty much do. I'm a due diligence
person, I don't make decisions of import
without knowing what I'm getting into.


Leaving aside the many daily examples how about your recent decision that the Exodus event is pure fiction. What hard evidence or proof do you have for such a claim?

That the Jews themselves are pretty satisfied
with calling it a myth now is proof enough for
me. They did the due diligence required and
came to the inevitable conclusion that it
never happened.

You use that phrase "the Jews" in a very cavalier way. Surely you don't mean all Jews or even a large number, maybe you mean the few Jews you have read that come to these conclusions. If you mean that than you should say that and not exaggerate to the point of being laughable.

Enough credible Jews with sterling
credentials have taken the stance
that it's a myth. They certainly aren't
worried about losing their position
in the community, they've been
investigating this for so long that
it's not a surprise to anybody.

It doesn't threaten their religion,
like Jesus not being resurrected
would threaten Christianity. Judaism
is about belief in the one god,
and keeping the holy days. A rabbi
in the 1st century summed up Judaism as:

'What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor.'

That's the Torah in a nutshell. If
all the stories in the OT are myth,
it doesn't effect the religion at
all. All the stories in the Hindu holy
books are myths, the whole religion
is built on myth. It's only Christians
that have boxed themselves into the
corner of having to take everything
literally.

Isn't that who we make God out to be when we replace Him with ourselves?


Why so negative?

Salvation from all gods lies within you.
