@disguisedcentennial835 No, there really isn’t.

@disguisedcentennial835 You posted a claim. Historians disagree. Are you an arm chair historian disagreeing with actual historians? Because that demonstrates a lack of evidence, and unwarranted beliefs.

@Weebusaurus That was about the worst SW film I have seen. Including the prequels.

@YaBoiSneedMan Except it can’t. So you’re still convinced of a supernatural event without warrant. Right?

@disguisedcentennial835 I don’t see a link, however I do know that actual historians disagree with your claim. And yes, it is a claim. The claim is that there is evidence for the Exodus. That claim isn’t supported supported by evidence, nor by historians. You’re convinced, but for poor reasons. You’re chasing confirmation bias.

@disguisedcentennial835 You need to do better, really. The Bible story claims there was a mass Exodus of people that got lost in the desert for decades. Historians agree that there we no Hebrew slaves in large numbers in Egypt. Also, consider the number of supposed Hebrew slaves, and the distance they were attempting to travel, but got lost…. If they made a single file line, the first Hebrew would reach their destination before the last left Egypt.

Historicity The overwhelming consensus among scholars is that the story in the Book of Exodus is best understood as a myth and cannot be treated as history in any verifiable sense. Archaeologists Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman say that archaeology has not found any evidence for even a small band of wandering Israelites living in the Sinai: "The conclusion – that Exodus did not happen at the time and in the manner described in the Bible – seems irrefutable [...] repeated excavations and surveys throughout the entire area have not provided even the slightest evidence". Instead, modern archaeology suggests continuity between Canaanite and Israelite settlement, indicating a primarily Canaanite origin for Israel, with no suggestion that a group of foreigners from Egypt comprised early Israel .

The new Andor show has been really good. 👍

@swedish-monarchist2457 O thing productive can come of it if you refuse to engage honestly. Can we agree on that?

@ciao_abhi There are many historians, who on behalf of the church or educational foundation, attempt to study the Bible….who have also committed to those beliefs and their implied bias. Their jobs require them to hold to the belief, regardless of what the historicity demonstrates. In that light, their bias taints their results from the beginning. This is especially true when pursing the resurrection claims. I also find the phrasing of “truth of the religion” pretty slippery. Truth to specific claims is always better. I mean, Egypt did and does still exist. Of course, their is truth to that. Jesus may have even existed as a human. There may be truth to that. But it doesn’t validate the “truth of the religion”….mostly because of all the associated baggage, and supernatural claims. :)

Could you survey believers, asking them what they think an atheist is?

Curious what you mean by agnostic.

@disguisedcentennial835 Sure, you’re convinced…. It for poor reasons. Remember, the Bible is the claim, not the evidence. What is your best evidence? Are you even aware the exodus is t a historical event? Moses is a fictional character?

I think you’re dishonest.

@eyeofthepyramid2596 Do you not understand what a species is?

What convinces you?

@disguisedcentennial835 You didn’t provide any. Right above my first reply is just you making a fallacious claim.

The problem is, a great number within society insist the supernatural parts are true.
2
If it helps… Gnostic/agnostic refer to knowledge claims. As in “I know a god exists” or “I know a god doesn’t exist”. Where as theist/atheist refer to beliefs, not knowledge. It seems to me, nobody can say they know, either way. Which would make everyone agnostic. Though, admittedly…some do claim to know. I’d consider myself an agnostic atheist. I don’t know whether any gods exist, but I am not convinced any gods exist. Peace and reason.

I’m only shocked people accept the supernatural claims.

@disguisedcentennial835 You didn’t bother to look at what I provided.

@disguisedcentennial835 Try citing sources.

Philosophical naturalism and methodological naturalism are not the same. When defending a naturalistic world view, that isn’t to argue naturalism is necessarily the only thing, but is the only demonstrable thing so far as we can show. Even a theist must adhere to methodological naturalism, since they cannot demonstrate anything more.

@waywardspirit7898 Do you vote? Are you responsible for children in any way? Do you care whether or not the beliefs you hold are true?

@Theo-bk6qj Consider, there are two category of things; Things that exist, and things we imagine. So when someone claims something is supernatural, if they can’t provide a method to demonstrate something supernatural actually happened in reality, it goes into the imaginary category, until such time in which it can be demonstrated. And no supernatural event has ever been demonstrated.

@Theo-bk6qj When is lying to children about the existence of Hell ever good?

@juniormint5065 Could you provide any method we can use to reliably differentiate supernatural claims from imagination. Have you known any to be demonstrated to be true? You assert my logic is circular, but you’re suggesting an unfalsifiable proposition. And accepting the affirmative of an unfalsifiable proposition is by definition, irrational.

I’m not sure I understand your question, but perhaps,you’re referring to Deism?
