Re: Terrorism
Why is "allah's" non-existence taken for granted. Allah is the arabic word for God, Arab Christians call God 'allah', and supposedly, they worship the God of Abraham, which the Christians also worship.
It allegedly is the same God, so your statement 'the existence of Gad is assumed, but the non-existence of Allah is also assumed. That means God both exists and non-exists at the same time.

Just like you know that 'the bible is God's word', I know that the bible is NOT 'God's word'. It might be about God, and it might be a story of a peoples search for God, but it is not 'God's word'.

Re: Bullshitting?
Oh. Let's see you quote chapter and verse on that.
And, you are quote wrong about the Joesphus reference. You are misreading it. THat is not unexpected from you.

Re: Bullshitting?
Actually, no.. we know so much more than Josephus ever did. We have this little thing known as 'archeology' and evidence, while Josephus has hearsay

Pointing out, the earliest DDS is the great Isaiah scroll, which has been carbon dated from between 335bc to 107 BC, so it could be anywhere from the 4th century bc to the second century bc. The others date from between 150 BC to 100 AD (probably 70 ad would be more accurate)

Oh really< it's content does? It is just the scroll of Isaiah.. I would like to see you make a case for that using paleographies, which are even worse at dating precisely than carbon dating.
And, the scrolls themselves are very historical. However, their content might or might not be mythical. Let's see you provide external evidence that , oh , lets say , genesis is not mythical.
