We fight among ourselves, live with tyranny government , good people live worse lives compared people who believe / live by greed .

Ask the publisher; they usually choose the title I have heard.

I agree, when you say "the atheist's handbook" you automatically have it dismissed by Christians and jews

@@charleslindsey6789 Well I would have chosen to know my book title before it went to print and would have not allowed that title because it is not accurate. I guess if it sells books?

Yeah, its just marketing. The Mainstream Historical Consensus would be more fitting. There's been a recent phenomenon of maintaining and preserving the "sanctity" of mainstream institutional dogma under the guise of "atheism". Its weird. Tim O'Neill does the same thing, desperately.

Considering the book isn't extolling the old testerment as even remotely true it can certainly be said to be a useful book to read if you would like to debunk Christian apologetics, on the otherhand, the historical handbook of the old testerment would suggest the possibilty that its factual. So I'd say the title is very fitting.

*Let's briefly run through the 'ten plagues':* First the rivers are turned to blood, all the fish die and the waters stink. No one has any water to drink. This lasted for seven days and would have resulted in mass deaths due to dehydration. Amongst the first to die would have been the children. *The author doesn't think to explain how the Hebrews were saved from this. No record of it was made anywhere in any Egyptian records.* Exodus 7:17-25. This is followed by a plague of frogs which had somehow survived the rivers of blood that had killed all the fish. A mere inconvenience, nothing more, and a big stink when they all died, *but no record anywhere.* Exodus 8:2-13. Next we have the plague of lice about which very little is said *and of course no record was made.* To a people who would have been accustomed to lice this would probably have been nothing remarkable. Exodus 8:16-18. Then the flies. Apart from the land being 'corrupted', whatever that means, there don't appear to have been any ill effects from this and they disappear as quickly as they came a few days later. *Nothing worth recording there, obviously.* Exodus 8:21-31. Now the author seems to begin to lose the plot and describes a 'grievous murrain' *which kills all the Egyptians' cattle, horses, camels and sheep.* ***They all died - hold that thought.*** *No Egyptian historian or keeper of official records deems it worthy of mention.* Exodus 9:3-6. Next come the boils which afflict everyone and everything, including all the livestock ***even though they had been killed by the 'grievous murrain' a few days earlier,*** *apparently, and yet no-one thought to write anything down anywhere.* Of course, anyone who understood anything about microorganisms and the aeteology of boils would have described this as an infestation with Staphylococcus - the signs of faecal contamination - but the author was obviously unaware of these. Maybe he was just in too much of a muddle by now to care. Exodus 9:8-11. Now it's hailstones so bad that every plant, every tree, every servant (for servant read slave) ***and even the livestock (that our story-teller has forgotten already that he killed off in the fifth plague before given them boils in the sixth) were harmed.*** It looks like our story-teller has learned from his earlier silly mistake with killing all the livestock too soon then having to resurrect them later. He mentions that some plants survive. Do I smell stinking fish again? *The greatest hail storm in all Egyptian history, apparently, but not worthy of being recorded.* Exodus 9:18-25. It's the turn of the locusts and it's suddenly obvious why some plants had to survive. *How could the locusts turn Egypt into a barren desert if the hail storm had done it earlier?* Good thinking there. Shame about the earlier boob! *Mysteriously, no Egyptian scribe appears to notice any of this or the inevitable famine and mass starvation which would have ensued.* Exodus 10:4-15. And for the penultimate trick, it's going to be dark for three days. *No one makes a record of this, obviously.* Exodus 10:21-23. The last 'plague' is not so much a plague as a ritual genocide. *Here our tale takes a nasty turn and the true character of the Hebrew god is revealed in all its glory - a petty, vindictive, homicidal psychopath who has not yet acquired the omniscience he will be granted later. He kills every firstborn Egyptian in a single night,* ***including the firstborn of all the cattle that died in the fifth plague.*** *For some reason he needs the Hebrews to leave a secret sign so he doesn't kill them too. Weirdly, he can't tell his own chosen people from ordinary Egyptians and doesn't even know where they live.* And he had been leading up to this, apparently, because after every plague he 'hardens the heart' of Pharaoh so that he wouldn't let the Hebrews go. He had actually been planning this genocide all along just to impress people with his powers. *And still no-one thought even this mass killing in a single night worth making a note of in any Egyptian records.* Exodus 12:1-30. And then, of course, Pharaoh could muster up 600 horses to pull the chariots ***from amongst all the dead livestock from the 5th plague*** (Exodus 14:7).

@@hendriknonody2018 Actually, the devil is a really big fan of the Bible, and the OT. He has been conducting market research and has come to the conclusion that the more people read them, the more likely they are to turn their backs on God. It’s driving his numbers up significantly and as a result, is considering hosting a weekly book reading.

21:35 I suppose another response is, "Yes, it's possible though it appears to be a much less likely option. (State the reason why.) And then finish the response with the question. So isn't ALSO possible that Nebuchadnezzar is NOT the father of Balshezzar?" It will be much harder for the antagonistic interlocutor to refuse to accept the possibility. Then we have 2 hypotheses and a pile of evidence. So we can sift through the evidence together and look at which one is supported by more of the evidence. The subtext here is that the antagonists will eventually have to acknowledge, at least to themselves if not out loud, that they are clinging to beliefs despite the evidence. At that point they will need time to digest that reality or create a new excuse to allow them to maintain their fiction. Either way, we've done all we can do at that point.

I see your point. Language is important here. I would move away from the idea of “ isn’t possible?” To clearer terms like “ highly likely, less likely” or “ more confidence , less confidence, no confidence”. Then you can easily say “ no” it is less likely based on …. Or I have no confidence is the book of….

People believe in religious ideas for a variety of reasons. Mostly because they were born into a specific religion, or they came to a period later in their lives where they needed healing from a horrific experience or a multitude of poor life choices. But most do not read their bibles, instead simply taking for truth what priests, ministers, etc., tell them. When bibles are read, they are interpreted inside an already formed bubble of ideas that don’t even remotely resemble the ideas to which the religion was founded on. In short, they lack an understanding of religious history. For instance, every time I hear someone talking about Christianity, they refer to “The Bible”. But when a historical study of bibles is conducted, it becomes clear that there are a multitude of bible versions throughout, Roman Catholicism, Fundamental Christianity, Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and Oriental Orthodox Christianity. So when “The Bible” is being referred to, “A” bible (one of many bibles) is being referenced. These bible translations, in many cases, are not only different from each other, interpretations from individual to individual that are derived from each version can be vastly disparate, and that is one reason we end up with distinct and opposing views. One very important view that has dominated Christianity since the second century CE, is a belief in heaven and hell. Most believers don’t know and aren’t taught that this was not a belief that Jesus or his disciples would have held but rather came to popularity through Greek philosophers. Like all systems within various cultures of a broader society, as people change and their attitudes toward certain topics spill over into the larger culture, religious leaders are forced to change their positions on those policies and ideals. This idea is highly evident not only by the changes in religious policies and ideals we’ve seen over time but also in the numerous religions and their variations which have risen and fallen throughout human history. As we advance in knowledge and change our perspective of our own existence, so does our belief in our gods change, and therefore so do our gods. Lastly, a couple of definitions to put ideas into perspective. Faith - a strongly held belief or theory. Opinion - a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Neither word is identical, yet neither is dissimilar.

You would think that most people would want to know the truth no matter how difficult that truth might be.

Thank you for such a detailed explanation. There are just two problems: 1) neither leader was related in any way. The author was simply confused. 2) the author of Daniel and the authors of Genesis were different people writing at different times.

@@michaelhenry1763 I see no problem, if I was riding today with that same knowledge I would probably write it just like I read it. Just because people today don't have this knowledge doesn't mean that what in the common knowledge in hiding things in the script, as the Nephilim seem to be vaguely hid throughout the script which then reveals a bigger picture at the end of the book, it's also the reason why 99% of the Christians don't even realize the books talking about killing the children of the Angels and taking the creation back AKA salvation for man. And as a result you indeed see an alteration in the book, but a purpose alteration of people who were not privy to the truth

That indeed is the general consensus of critical scholarship. In the Old Testament there appears the concept of Yahweh’s having a heavenly court, the sons of God. They are referred to variously as the ‘sons of God’ (bene ha ‘elohim, Gen 6.2, 4; Job 1.6, 2.2; or bene ‘elohim, Job 38.7), the ‘sons of gods’ (bene ‘elim, Pss. 29.1, 89.7 [ET 6]) or the ‘sons of the Most High’ (bene ‘elyon, Ps. 82.6). *It is also generally agreed that we should read ‘sons of God’ (bene ‘elohim) for ‘sons of Israel’ in Deut. 32.8 (see below).* There are further numerous places where the heavenly court is referred to without specific use of the expressions ‘sons of God(s)’ or ‘sons of the Most High’. Thus, the heavenly court is mentioned in connection with the first human(s) (Gen 1.26, 3.22; Job 15.7-8) or elsewhere in the primaeval history (Gen. 11.7; cf. Gen 6.2 above), and in the context of the divine call or commission to prophecy (1 Kgs 22.19-22; Isa 40.3,6; Jer. 23.18, 22; cf. Amos 3.7). We also find it referred to in connection with the guardian gods or angels of the nations (Isa.24.21; Ps. 82.1; Ecclus 17.17; Jub. 15.31-32; cf. Deut 32.8 and Ps. 82.6 above; implied in Dan 10.13, 20; 12.1). Apart from the isolated references to the divine assembly on the sacred mountain in Isa 14.13 and to personified Wisdom in the divine assembly in Ecclus 24.2, the other references to the heavenly court are more general (Zech. 1.10-11, 3.7, 14.5; Ps. 89.6-8 [ET 17], 7.10, 21, 25, 27, 8.10-13; cf. Job 1.6, 2.2, 38.7 and Pss. 29.1, 89.7 [ET 6] above). Just as an earthly king is supported by a body of courtiers, so Yahweh has a heavenly court. *Originally, these were gods, but as monotheism became absolute, so these were demoted to the status of angels.* … *It is in connection with the Canaanite god El and his pantheon of gods, known as the ‘sons of El’, that a direct relationship with the Old Testament is to be found. That this is certain can be established from the fact that both were* ***seventy*** *in number.* At Ugarit we read in the Baal myth of ‘the ***seventy*** sons of Asherah (Athirat)’ (sb’m. bn. ‘atrt, KTU 1.4. VI.46). Since Asherah was El’s consort, this therefore implies that El’s sons were ***seventy*** in number. *Now Deut. 32.8, which is clearly dependent on this concept,* declares, ‘When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he fixed the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God’. The reading ‘sons of God’ (bene ‘elohim) has the support of the Qumran fragment, 4QDeut, the LXX, Symmachus, Old Latin and the Syro-Hexaplaric manuscript, Camb. Or. 929. *This is clearly the original reading, to be preferred to the MT’s ‘sons of Israel’ (bene yisra’el), which must have arisen as a deliberate alteration on the part of a scribe who did not approve of the polytheistic overtones of the phrase ‘sons of God’.* Interestingly, it is known that the Jews believed there to be ***seventy*** nations on earth, so that the sons of God were accordingly also ***seventy*** in number. This emerges from the table of the nations in Genesis 10, where there are ***seventy*** nations, and from the later Jewish apocalyptic concept according to which there were ***seventy*** guardian angels of the nations (Targum Pseudo-Jonathon on Deut 32.8; 1 En. 89.59-77, 90.22-27). This view, which I have defended previously, seems eminently reasonable. … *Finally, it is interesting to note that the Old Testament never refers to the heavenly court as ‘the sons of Yahweh’.* As we have seen above, apart from one instance of bene ‘elyon, we always find the ‘sons of God’, with words for God containing the letter s ‘l (bene ha ‘elohim, bene ‘elohim, bene ‘elim). *This finds a ready explanation in their origin in the sons of the Canaanite god El.* Eventually, of course, the name El simply became a general word for ‘God’ in the Old Testament, and so it is found many times. *"Excerpt from “Yahweh and the Gods and Goddesses of Canaan” by John Day | Lehi's Library"* *"The Most Heiser: Yahweh and Elyon in Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32 - Religion at the Margins"* based on the *majority scholarly consensus.* (Written by Thom Stark who is a Christian) *"Michael Heiser: A Unique Species? - Religion at the Margins"* (A second response to Michael Heiser)

@@michaelhenry1763I'm not saying it does personally.. I'm not giving a personal b opinion. The thing is... I'm not really sure if there's any research to prove it doesn't...

@@danielajayi9311 good point. I think there was some desire by ancient cultures to sacrifice to their gods in order to avoid natural calamities or to win wars. The idea of sacrifice is a very powerful idea up to today. We have jettisoned the idea of human or animal sacrifice. However, war still revolves around the idea of sacrifice your own people to achieve a “greater good”.

Nobody believes that Santa or the Easter Bunny are real, so of course he doesn't go on "tirades" against them... Why would he?

God didn't say anything. If anyone thinks the Bible is the "word of God" and not ancient authors speaking for their imaginary god, they need to read the below article from a critical Biblical scholar and spend some time reading the other articles on his website. "So for example, when we read carefully what Yahweh says in the book of Leviticus, namely that the Aaronids (the sons of Aaron only), are high priests contrary to the Levites, that they alone are Yahweh’s mediators and the Levites are reduced to mere ministers of the Aaronids, that only through sacrifice can one atone for sins and not confession as preached by the Levites, or more precisely the Levite’s Yahweh, etc., *it can be no coincidence that in these laws and commandments,* ***which are placed on the mouth of Yahweh,*** *that Yahweh himself is presented advocating and legitimating the very views and beliefs of the specific priestly guild writing the text, and, contrary to the views and beliefs of their rivals, the Levites and the Levite’s Yahweh!* We will examine this more closely when we get to the contradictions in these books. But in short, this was the function of ancient literature, and we are allowing these ancient texts to speak for themselves. *In this particular case, the Levites and Aaronids wrote specific texts that each advocated their religious beliefs, views, and their position as high priests* ***by writing these sentiments directly into the mouth of their god!*** But just studying the Bible alone, scientifically, affords us the occasion *to see that many of these so-called words of Yahweh are* ***actually the very words of the texts’ authors.*** When we see numerous texts employing this ancient literary technique, and moreover, ***presenting Yahweh as the spokesperson for their own views and agenda,*** *and* ***contrary*** *to Yahweh’s other words in other texts written by other authors employing the same technique,* how can one conclude otherwise. In other words, when in the composite text that we now call the Bible we find: Yahweh declaring that only Aaronids can officiate as his priests and Yahweh declaring that all Levites can officiate as high priest; Yahweh declaring that sin is atoned through confession and Yahweh declaring that sin is only expiated through the sacrificial cult, no exceptions; Yahweh declaring that he gave laws and commandments at Sinai and Yahweh declaring that he only gave the Ten Commandments at Sinai; Yahweh commanding to exterminate all the Canaanites without pity and Yahweh declaring to tolerate them and live in their midst; Yahweh declaring that the wilderness generation were disloyal and rebellious and Yahweh declaring that they were a paradigm of loyalty and faith; Yahweh declaring that he may be offered sacrifices at any altar and Yahweh declaring that there is only one altar where sacrifices are to be offered up; Yahweh declaring that the people saw him at Sinai and Yahweh declaring that they only heard his voice; Yahweh declaring that circumcision is an eternal covenant and keeping the land depends on observing this very commandment and Yahweh declaring the Mosaic laws as the covenant and keeping the land is dependent on keeping these laws; Yahweh declaring that he dwells in the midst of the people and Yahweh declaring that he only resides in heaven; Yahweh commanding Passover to be celebrated by all at Jerusalem and Yahweh commanding it to be celebrated at each person’s home; Yahweh commanding that animals for consumption must be ritually sacrificed and Yahweh commanding that they don’t have to be sacrificed ritually, etc. ***one must conclude that Yahweh is being used by these authors, each with their own contrary views and beliefs as a spokesperson for each of these authors’ agendas.*** These are all the personal, and competing, views, theological beliefs, and religious systems of our biblical authors.
