Myths versus God
quote:
I forgot to mention that Hammurabi's Code is also of divine origin. It had been given to him by the god and goddess, Bel and Anu. So if Moses did derive his Law from Hammurabi's, then the Bible is in error for not properly crediting Bel and Anu for it.
Bel and Anu are myths.
​
....of course one can argue that all gods...including the monotheistic ones...are myths, though I would disagree. From your cultural vantage point, all gods are myths. From my cultural standpoint, all gods are either myths or demons...except the one I worship.

When I use a word, Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to meannothing more nor less.

Christians are virtually no different from atheists, since they differ by only one god.
You and I differ through our beliefs...if only that "One" thing.

Gods are gods are gods. None of them truly distinguish themselves from the others. All of them are human inventions.
GOD existed long before humans were capable of imagining Him. He invented us long before we even could invent Him. And because of this dogmatic assertion by many Christians---we get persecuted by others who are furious that we dare profess such a belief. Persecutors are probably angry that their own belief is thought of as less than ours. Do you have any other plausible explanations as to why people get persecuted...apart from opposition to human plans and egos?
