Yes we see reality & facts really don't matter to you, i knew you would admit this sooner or later. But much later when so many Hellenized moderate pacifists are murdered & rabbi Jesus too, we see more turning the of your eyes, not the other cheek. This so called 'St Paul' character goes down in flames accused of bringing gentiles into the temple and thrown in chains for two years before being dragged off to Rome. But you'd say these fanatic obsessed 'Dagon/ Baal/Yahweh/ worshippers were so tolerant wouldn't you? You remember, the same ones the rabbis weeped for over 1000yrs over, for their mistake of enorsing them as 'messiahs', because in their suicidal madness got every peaceful person massacred with their blood lust & revenge. Not just once, but three times in a row, might as well been worshipping Baal & Chemosh which in fact they were.

Since facts mean nothing to you, by your same sloppy reasoning that just belief is all thats needed , then any tree hugging pagan, pantheist or deist can be just as right about the universe. After all the whining about atheists or the supernatural, the same principals for finding purpose in life still always apply, achieving wisdom/peace of mind, happiness or inner calm. These were inplay long before a Jesus,Paul or Mohammad comes along, long before. These philosophies are the practical, the earth in each man that have to be tilled, what is called prayer, others call reflection. What the world doesn't need more of, is another round of those same suicidal maniacs & their "Baal" gods thrown into the mix again.

Habiru, bands of lawless theives on the fringe (another thesis wins again).....As more texts were uncovered throughout the Near East, it became clear that the Habiru were mentioned in contexts ranging from unemployed agricultural workers and vagrants, to mounted mercenary bowmen. The context differed depending upon where the references were found. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habiru Though found throughout most of the Fertile Crescent, the arc of civilization "extending from the Tigris-Euphrates river basins over to the Mediterranean littoral and down through the Nile Valley during the Second Millennium, the principal area of historical interest is in their engagement with Egypt." [2] Carol Redmount, who wrote 'Bitter Lives: Israel in and out of Egypt' in The Oxford History of the Biblical World, concluded that the term "Habiru" had no common ethnic affiliations, that they spoke no common language, and that they normally led a marginal and sometimes lawless existence on the fringes of settled society. [3] She defines the various Apiru/Habiru as "a loosely defined, inferior social class composed of shifting and shifty population elements without secure ties to settled communities" who are referred to "as outlaws, mercenaries, and slaves" in ancient texts. [3] In that vein, some modern scholars consider the Habiru to be more of a social designation than an ethnic or a tribal one. [4]
