Guess you can see why believing is kind of stupid being it's been edited a lot over the millennia.

Some might then ask but why was it edited, and what was edited, and how has so much endured, and what effects has it had in societies and even in one's own personal life. It has led you to dig so deep after all and some skills must have been learned along the way, May, and here we are spending so much time and effort challenging one another over what we may understand of it.

Thanks for posting this by the way. One should not emulate demons, as a certain James is written to have written.

Maynman:


Bud, These are Roman Catholic writings that they just gave a name to it and you are using a king James VERSION
See what I just found out..

budaatum:


The Hebrew bible itself was reacted, long before it was translated, you'd find.

Long before Hebrew became a writing, Egyptian pharoahs (gods in their time) would deface the statues of those they succeed, so nothing new there. It's as it was in the beginning so it is now and shall always be.

Maynman:

Yes. The original Hebrew is paleo Hebrew.
And of course Hebrew “Bible” Bible means collection Of books, so you will expect the canonization by who and who? I don’t know probably lay men
So even the Hebrew Bible is older than Moses.

budaatum:


Are we assuming an actual real Moses, May, or one we read about in a book?

I had to check before one of us starts accusing the other of believing. I myself don't know if there ever was a real individual called Moses, nor do I have a need to believe there ever was. I just read about him in a book and before books there was a writer, with an intention, and it could not possibly be to make 21st Century me believe when there's so much else I could be doing.

Maynman:

We can’t assume on a story book, bud. Even from the picture you posted bud, the authors of the story books are unknown.
The book said there was a Moses, but history says otherwise.
You know the story of Israelites in Egypt for over 400 hundred years is a lie.
The Bible we have now is translated from masoretic text instead of the Dead Sea scrolls.
Elohim was the father of Yahweh. And Elohim has a wife.

budaatum:


I had to check before you start claiming it is buda who believes there was a Moses or that an Elohim fathered Yahweh with his wife.

It's would be like claiming buda believed Cronus fathered Zeus with his wife Rhea, or that Jupiter, the King of the Gods was fathered by Saturn and his wife Ops.

Maynman:


Bud, are you a hut or a poor old man ?

budaatum:


May, I am neither a hut nor a man nor am I poor or old.

Maynman:


Bud, you forgot that both Zeus, Odin and Jupiter are “God” in the greek, Roman and Norse MYTHOLOGY.
What does bud have to believe in a mythology?

In the myth, Cronus father is Uranus. Uranus father is Gaia.
You don’t have to believe a myth bud, it’s literally a myth.

budaatum:

"I can't believe that!" said Alice.

"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There

budaatum:


Why do you assume buda believes in mythology, May? Do you really believe buda is so mindless as to not only believe in Yahweh and Christ and the Bible as you repeatedly claim, but also in Cronus and Uranus and Jupiter too? Would you claim I believe Alice if I quote her?



How about if I quote Aristotle? Does buda believe Aristotle, May?

Maynman:

Bud, you mean you checked to see if Moses is a real person in a STORY BOOK?
We can’t assume on a story book, bud. Stop assuming Bud, they are just stories in a story book.
Even from the picture you posted bud, the authors of the story books are unknown.
The book said there was a Moses, but history says otherwise.
You know the story of Israelites in Egypt for over 400 hundred years is a lie.

budaatum:
When I was like really young, these mates of mine who grew up in Obanikoro Village told me rats talk. Well, even at barely 7, I was atheistic in nature, so I argued that rats don't talk. Now there were like 5 of them, so they ganged up on me calling me all sorts of names and that I know nothing, "rats talk jo!".

One day, about two years later, we were in the home of one of them and NTA was showing Tom and Jerry.

"There," they said, pointing to the telly. "I thought you said rats don't talk?"

Turns out oyinbo rats do talk, silly me!

budaatum:


May, I will give you a buda history lesson. It might help with your understanding.

The first gods buda learnt about were ancient Greek and Egyptian, and I hopefully don't need to tell you no one teaches, believe Greek and Egyptian gods, not where I started my schooling where early education teachings one to ask what, why, when, where, who and how. The idea that one believes Gods or books was introduced to me in Nigeria and went down like talking rats.

Yes I checked if Moses was a real person in a story book, May. I checked because those around me claimed the book was written by a god in heaven and everything in it was real. Thankfully I read, so I read it myself instead of stupidly believing what was claimed by some. And what I found was most telling me to believe hadn't bothered reading the book or couldn't understand the King James they were reading nor had they bothered to check where it came from, nor its history, or the authenticity of its claims etc etc.

May, you checked too, I think, unless you want to claim the things you say about the Bible were not discovered in your checking but was placed in your head by an angel.

Maynman:


Bud, this is weak from you. You can try harder.
You are not interesting anymore. It was you that brought in mythology now you are just grabbing at straws.
You are just saying everything and anything.
Are you a hut or a poor old man? You don’t know the origin of the word you love the most, bud?
Once again, stop assuming bud.

Maynman:


Bud, you don’t even know The origin of your name. Why are you so desperate.
You are a lover of argument.

budaatum:


Are you not assuming there is a word that buda loves the most, May?

Please explain how it could be assumed that buda believes mythology which means:
1 : an allegorical narrative. 2 : a body of myths: such as. a : the myths dealing with the gods, demigods, and legendary heroes of a particular people. b : mythos sense 2 cold war mythology. 3 : a branch of knowledge that deals with myth.

budaatum:


May! How can you possibly know the origin of my name more than I who choose my name?

Maynman:


Bud, you are trying too hard.
Stop assuming.

Maynman:


Bud, you don’t even know The origin of your name. Why are you so desperate.
You are a lover of argument.

budaatum:

Maynman:


Weak bud.

budaatum:


Believing your assumptions about the origin of buda must be very strong indeed.
