Funny, funny, funny.

Did you believe this article was real as indicated by your raised hand or are you just going to deny that you got suckered by this satirical article and distract attention away from your gullibility by accusing me of mocking Christians and voting for Obama?

It's really the most simple of questions requiring a "yes" or "you're a satan worshiping socialist" answer. Did you believe this was true?

I believe Moses parted the Red Sea allowing the Jews to escape the Egyptian soldiers and ultimately the sea closed behind them and drowned the soldiers.  Whether or not they find "proof" is irrelevant in my eyes.

Somehow, old, malnourished Jews void of horses and weapons escaped the most powerful army that existed at that time. Maybe you can explain to me how that happened?

I don't know and I really don't care, my faith doesn't rely on a literal take on the Old Testament. As a Christian, I look to Jesus' word.

Now, did you really believe this article was real?

Then you should take to heart Jesus words on Exodus for he certainly believed it happened:

"Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."

John 6:49-51

I am not so sure the Israelites were a starving and scurvy lot. Acording to Exodus, they were multipying rapidly. This does not indicate starving, weak peoples. They also had flocks and herds. Then they left, the Egyptians were glad to get rid of them so they gave them treasure and everything they needed to beat feet out of there.

What does that have to do with parting the Red Sea?

And what does that have to do with someone blindly believing a fictional article that he didn't even read?

Because Jesus is recounting the 40 years spent by the Jews wandering in the wilderness. Obviously Jesus believed the story of Exodus which would include the parting of the Red Sea, as a purported follower of Jesus why don't you? How do you think the Jews ended up in the wilderness? Are you just cherry picking the story of Exodus to validate your beliefs? To me Cafeteria Christians like yourself are just philosophical pikers. At least sincere Christians have the spine to embrace the scriptures in toto.

Not to speak for Darth but it appears to me that he believes that there is or could be archaelogical/historical evidence that proves the crossing. Maybe he assumed the fictional article was an article on a new historical find but the crappy website made it not worth the bother. There certainly have been claims of such finds in the past. I might disagree but I don't mock him or laugh at him for his sincere beliefs.

An added thought .... according to some the Papyrus Ipuwer is an Egyptian eyewitness account of the plagues of Egypt culminating in the Jews leaving.

IIRC the jury is still out as to whether it is an actual eyewitness account and until the final verdict is rendered one might do well to keep in mind the saying, "Absence of proof is not always proof of absence" when physical evidence is sought of events related in the Old Testament are the topic of discussion.

As Gomezz says, the faithful do not require such proof to bolster their faith but such proof is nice to have.

You really struggled in third/fourth grade didn't you.

That's the fun part, I never said whether I believed it or not but it is a great way to try to distract attention from your friend blindly believing a fictional article that he didn't even read.

I don't mock him for his beliefs, I mock him for his inability to discern fact from obvious fiction and his complete inability to admit he got duped.

But I do understand that darth is a sensitive soul. I remember watching tv with him when he was just a little darth, he cried for three days after Timmy fell into the well, cried so hard that he missed seeing Lassie rescue him. The other kids teased him so much that he vowed he would never mock another human being as long as he lived and has followed that resolution religiously to this very day. So I do applaud you for standing up for this helpless and innocent victim who has never said an unkind word to anyone in his entire life.

No, what is fun is watching you walk back your statement "...my faith doesn't rely on a literal take on the Old Testament." intimating a disbelief in the historicity of Exodus while demostrating an obliviousness to Christ's literal belief in the Exodus story by stating "As a Christian, I look to Jesus' word." Seriously do you just pull your arguments out of your azz because they sure have that stench about them. And you know what else is fun? Seeing you get owned by a fallen Methodist/nominal Christian who probably owns the record for lowest score on a confirmation final.

FYI, as I stated earlier I don't speak for Darth as he speaks for himself.

"Owned?"

You are your own biggest fan, no one will ever think more highly of you than yourself. You are a master of crushing that terracotta army of your own making. You should be proud... and you are.

Yet all of this is just to distract attention from your friends who got suckered by some crappy satire? I fully expected your 'tip over the chess board and declare victory' gambit, that's your signature move. But I do have to admit that the 'hurt feelings' maneuver was classic. It takes some giant balls to claim poor, poor darth's feelings were hurt by mocking his gullibility and that you would never mock or laugh at any anyone for their sincere beliefs.

This group was founded on mockery and now you want to pretend to be offended by it?

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit is it?
