Now to say that David and Solomon may not have been real people you must have some pretty solid evidence for such a claim. What is it??
​
You have it exactly backwards, Peg. You need some pretty solid evidence that those two may have been real people. You have a few documents that talk about them - the same sort of documentation that we have for Hector, Paris, or Odysseus. And I'll bet you don't assume that they were real folks that did all the things Homer claimed for them, do you?

This was the first ever find of David outside the bible and it wasnt written by jews...
​
First ever and, so far, only. Doesn't that make you think about this "evidence" stuff just for a second, Peg?

compare the bible to other 'real' myths and legends and the difference will be glaringly obvious
​
Hmmm...that might be worth a thread - a comparison of the Iliad and Odyssey, with all the Real Places they mention, to the Pentateuch. I don't see a "glaringly obvious" difference, Peg. Where is it?
