And that makes you a heretic. Here’s a list of notable individuals who were condemned as heretics and executed by the Catholic Church, primarily by burning at the stake: 1. Jan Hus (1415) A Czech priest and reformer who criticized Church corruption and indulgences. Influenced by John Wycliffe’s ideas. Burned at the stake at the Council of Constance. 2. Joan of Arc (1431) French military leader who led troops against the English during the Hundred Years’ War. Accused of heresy, cross-dressing (wearing male military attire), and witchcraft. Burned at the stake in Rouen; later canonized as a saint in 1920. 3. Girolamo Savonarola (1498) Dominican friar in Florence who preached against Church corruption and worldliness. Led the "Bonfire of the Vanities" but later fell out of favor. Excommunicated, tortured, and burned in Florence. 4. William Tyndale (1536) English scholar and translator of the Bible into English. Opposed Church doctrines like purgatory and clerical celibacy. Strangled and burned at the stake for heresy. 5. Michael Servetus (1553) Spanish physician and theologian who rejected the Trinity. Criticized both Catholic and Protestant views. Burned at the stake in Geneva by Calvinists, but condemned by the Catholic Church as well. 6. Jacques de Molay (1314) Grand Master of the Knights Templar. Accused of heresy, idolatry, and other charges by the Inquisition. Burned in Paris after years of imprisonment and torture. 7. Marguerite Porete (1310) French mystic and author of The Mirror of Simple Souls. Accused of heretical ideas on divine love and salvation. Burned in Paris after refusing to recant. 8. Priscillian of Avila (385) Early Christian ascetic who promoted a blend of Gnostic and Christian teachings. First known Christian executed for heresy. Beheaded in Trier under the orders of Emperor Maximus, with Church support. These executions were carried out under the authority of either Church councils or Catholic rulers working with the Inquisition.

Ah yes, because nothing says 'solid theological argument' like name-calling and invoking 'Sharkie and Wharfie' as authorities. Look, the Old Testament is foundational to Christian theology, but the question of Moses' historicity is separate from that. Scholars, Christian and secular alike, recognize that Jesus was a real historical figure, while Moses' story is more difficult to verify historically. That’s just the state of the evidence. If that offends you, I suggest taking it up with the historians, not me.
