For verification purposes it is always good to have more than one narrative or record of an event.

If you have only one, then it simply becomes a story that has no real value in a discussion.

It just becomes a matter of “It’s true because I said it’s true”.

Not the best of arguments. It isn’t even he said/she said. It’s just I said.

A lot of what Israel is doing these days is justified because the Bible says that God gave them the Promised Land. But it is in a book they wrote, and no one else heard this being said.

The Egyptians, whose society kept copious records on events for centuries, would certainly have noted somewhere, and in more than one set of records, that at one time all its Hebrew slaves suddenly just up and left one day. Certainly this would have been of something of note to them.

The same with the mysterious deaths of all its first born males.

But nary a word.

No matter what atrocity the Hebrews committed, mass murder, rape, infanticide, you name it, it is all justified in their book as having been commanded or sanctioned by God.

God is the mysterious man who sneaked in the room at night and broke the lamp, and Israel is believed because they said that that is what happened.

What a racket.

Now they can take other people’s land. God okays that.

They can kill women and children in vast numbers. God okays that.

Don’t take tadalafil sale the trust of other people for granted. Fortunately this problem is cialis pills effects of easy to treat. They’re given at a managed dosage to enhance erections online viagra mastercard after stimulation. Within one week, the results get as effective as devensec.com cialis no prescription and most importantly, without the risk of side-effects. They can get exaggerated vengeance because God said “an eye for an eye”, but He apparently implied there was no need for balance.

It has become “an eye for as many eyes as you can get”.

Hey, it’s in the book they wrote.

Arranging for the death of a woman’s husband so you can continue the affair without interference?

Okay in their book.

Throw mother and child out in the desert so they can die without the inconvenience of being guilty of murder, as, after all, if God wanted them to survive He would have arranged for that, and if they died, well, his fault again?

Okay in their book.

Conquer an army that is protecting their land because God said you could have it, and then cut off the end of their penises as somehow God likes circumcision?

Okay in their book.

You have to wonder how much stuff was justified after the fact by including the justification in the book.

And in modern times, they just keep it up.

Some Palestinian individuals with no official standing kill three kids, so destroy olive groves that belong to others so you can build settlements after bombing homes, schools and hospitals, and shooting at children playing on a building’s roof?

Hey, God gave you the land. It’s in their book.

Makes me wonder if there actually was a different story to David killing a giant Philistine with a little rock.
