The Biblical God is THE God of all, UNCREATED, and therefore never a pagan god, which by definition is a CREATED being.
According to your FAITH!
I, and others here, simply do not share it.

Thing is that his "dogma" as you call it is based on vast amounts of sceintific evidence in multiple fields. Yours isn't.

And this fallacy is what this whole bunch of nonsense rests on, nothing more than that.
No. As far as I can see no-one has relied exclusively on a post-hoc relationship. As Arach has been constantly demonstrating, there is some linguistic and cultural evidence. This evidence is (at the very least) no less strong than that which you argued supported Allah's early incarnation as a moon god!
Your faith leads you to a double standard. This is what you can't seem to grasp.
All people of committed faith believe that their faith is the "right" one, so person of faith should expect to achieve universal consensus that their beliefs represent "facts".

You don't "know" this at all - no one does. You believe it.

...this should be obvious to anyone who reads it on its own terms and in its own context instead of breaking it up into fragments.
Just because it's "obvious" to you doesn't mean it is for others. The Bible strikes me as no more or less divine than other sacred text.
faith writes:
And truly, your comments on my mental frame are out of order.
No they are not. I said nothing of your "mental frame". All I wanted to point out is that your personal faith does not equate to self-evident fact.
