in your view all other cultures are noble.....I think one set of mythologies won out over a wide selection of many of others in that huge Roman empire, we could explore many of the reasons why. It in no way validates these fables in discussion like Moses, Solomon or angels (2 million miles tall), have any actual historical truth or reality. One does note the role mythology & ritual plays in tribal unification, individual & group psychology & creating central authorities with many other evolutionary functions. We readily see almost uniformly across all earliest cultures,50,000yrs before any fictional Abraham, the emergence of tribal hierarchies that are comprised of chieftan & shaman priest class (or priestesses) , did you think you were different?

I'm am not the one here trying to claim that i have the one true religion, the reality is Christianity has benefitted by a tremendous series of wake up calls, went thru some serious evolution & saved by that return of the Classics i already mentioned. Your simpleminded histories & fairytale timelines and every other evasion are duly noted & ignored. But the simple premise remains, Christianity itself is a product, like Judaism from selected out past cultural templates, there is nothing more obvious than this, especially if you look at how much was borrowed & stolen from past earlier civilizations. Evolution is even more exemplified as true when we look at religion in the true historical light, even natural selection .

I have opined already these still extant fictional tribal characters & ancient tribal myths from Moses to Maccabees to Masada do more harm than good. I see nothing producing peace or universal understanding in the world by clinging to such imbecilic fictions that ignore all those templates for holy war. You have a child's understanding of the evolution of Judaism, that doesnt even coherently gel itself till around 500AD. My personal view that the rebels at Masada were pretty much zealouts & murderous fanatics and you might note that Josephus himself also tells how they murdered their own peacefull brothers raiding villages in Ein Gedi & slaughtering many Jewish locals. Not heros but murderous scum maybe, who speaks for the innocents these brave butchers killed in the night? These myths have been used even by the secular Jewish authorities in modern times to engender a nationalism which is fine, but lets get real who those historical fanatics pointed to really were. The same type of odious religious propagandas applies equally to Islam or Christianity in centuries past, there's India & China now in the mix, who tells them that 'Moses' was the true rep of God on earth? You? Maybe you should go on a mission then to Mumbai or Beijing, put your faith where your mouth/ typing finger is?
