Therefore Thermopylae didn't happen" Christ, you are slow, Bruno! Secular historians have corrected the inflated and conflated stories mistakenly and/or deliberately set down by less accurate scribes! In other words, historians looked at all the facts, and after examination they reached consensus--or at the least, reasonable conclusions. The conclusion that Thermopylae didn't happen is yours. And frankly it is an uneducated opinion--and just plain STUPID! As a superstitious person, you do not want to accept the fact that the 6 MILLION people spending 40 years piddling around in the desert is just plain STUPID! Do you see the problem here? You want secular historians to use logic and careful analysis and assessment to arrive at a reasonable picture of history! But when it comes to the stories of the bible you sqwalk like a frightened chicken and insist that reason and logic NEED NOT BE APPLIED!! Because if the absurdities, nonsense, impossibilities, and obvious invention be removed from your stories, then the god of the bible (Jesus, Yahweh--or whatever)--DOES NOT EXIST! Because if the bible is just a collection of flawed and boastful tribal stories, then it is not a reliable guide to any Divine plan or purpose! If you want to know why 2MAR$ is successfully making you look the fool (and mocking you mercilessly!), it is because you have ignorantly put yourself in an indefensible position by exempting your silly superstitious stories from meeting the demands of reality and sound REASON! You have created your own humiliation!Message 29740459
