You got me. It seems to me to be strictly mythological. Most of the "followers" know next to nothing about the source of their beliefs. It comes from their parentage, culture, and frailty. Those who think about it at all (like Sydney) simply rationalize away the OT and rationalize in the NT. The preachers have about 100 verses that they dare to look at, and this lasts for 2 years of sermons.

Do people believe in those old laws from the Egyptians and such? Well...what is most important is that people find decent rules that honour values and individual freedom. Even primitive people had some good ideas. I have decided not to pretend amongst educated people that the mythology of ancient cultures may be qualified as to (religious) merit. I will not waste my time (or yours) discussing such nonsense with you. I am wasting enough time on another thread discussing what requires no discussion. How idiotic can one be? How idiotic, indeed. I plead guilty.
