This thread is actually all about the attacking and the defense of Christianity.....Nonsense, this thread is about gathering data & facts for germinating greater understanding of the true nature of things, ourselves, albeit that interconnectedness (and unity) in the web of life we inhabit. Not positing imaginary worlds or living with illusionary fables of some afterlife which we see now as only a slight variation on themes descended from more ancient superstitiions like the Babylonians, Caananite, Phonecians & Egyptians etc
ISRA'EL...lets take a look at the etymology of this god-myth from these near eastern tribes, try & open your eyes.
"The scientific etymology of Israel is uncertain, a good guess being '[The God] El rules.'" [5] Jacob's descendants came to be known as the Israelites, eventually forming the tribes of Israel and ultimately the kingdom of Israel, whence came the name of modern day Israel..
EL (deity)
en.wikipedia.org
El, seated on a throne with lion feet, wears conical horned headdress, a tunic and mantle. He receives gifts from a priest or king or lesser deity. The winged globe is above them in the background. Stele found in Palestine.
