Yes, and this is simply extending the joke Hal.

@girlwithsmiles Well played, Karen.

Who knows? Obviously that got cut from the ones that Moses brought down from the mountain

@girlwithsmiles Oh yeah, right, THOSE ridiculous stone tablets. Whatever happened to them, anyway? (Maybe Noah brought them with him and all those animals on the 'Ark.'

@Storm1752 Moses on the Ark, my favorite story.

@GeorgeRocheleau It IS a riot, isn't it?

Well, Christmas and Easter coincide with some older European/ British festivals. But that got bastardised into their religion during their converting us.
This predates and so shows plagiarism too!

I’m sure their version of religious leaders told people what to think still

Were you guilty of any fun ones, or just boring ones?

Me too

@GeorgeRocheleau I am not telling.

We always knew that was the answer. We are still trying to figure out the question.

In my 20s someone told me that the bible was copied from Egyptian writing and other ancient mythologies. I couldn't look it up on Internet or Google because we had no access to such at the time. In any event I always refered to the bible as new crap. ...then get called out by @bbyrd009 yesterday for saying it's exactly that, new crap. The bible is a collection of ancient myths. Hindus too, worshipp stone and sun and goddesses and have daily rituals from the time you are born to the day you die. xtianity took it to the extreme with "heaven and hell" to set the fear path for humanity and started the conversion process from slaves upward to make it the biggest LIE (their truth) on this planet.

@TimeOutForMe well, but the Bible plainly says No one has ever gone up to heaven, and "hell" as we understand it does not exist, not anywhere, in the Bible, all go to the same place. There is Gehenna, which our norse/angle scribes have translated as "hell," but then we are warned about scribes in there too. Gehenna is on earth! And Tartarus is not for ppl

so, i'm not disagreeing with you @ "believers," but may i suggest that they pretty much hate the Bible even more than you do lol

@TimeOutForMe may i suggest that the Bible itself tells us that Christians are off, the way is narrow, and few there are who find it but there are millions or billions of "Christians," right
The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing their way into it. the point here being the "forcing" part. They only fool themselves, and look their "churches" are melting as we speak lol

@Triphid interesting! Christians mostly believe that they "have" a soul too, i guess. But that is not what the Bible says

@TimeOutForMe "then get called out by @bbyrd009 yesterday for saying it's exactly that, new crap" ha c'mon bro, i dint call you out lol, i said i didnt get it? And fwiw yes, i agree, virtually all lifted from other mythologies, or at least the best parts of them. As it even admits btw, Apollos waters, etc

@bbyrd009 It might do well to remember that when Champillion decoded the Rosetta Stone the Catholic Church threatened him and his family with Excommunication should he mention anything other the Ancient Egyptians being a Pagan Peoples with a Pagan Religion.
Ever since then the 'views' of Ancient Egypt have been discoloured and warped by IMPOSED Christian religious connotations.
Hence forth we see that numerous, almost countless Archaeologists have depicted almost every find/finding as being having some sort or another of a religious rite/ritual/meaning.
For example, For decades they have stated that Stonehenge was created/built as quasi-religious structure that contained an altar for PAGAN style human sacrifices, now there are those who are not only disagreeing BUT are finding solid evidences that those 'conceptualisations are completely wrong but it was built as both an Astronomical Observatory and a Meeting place for the Stone Age Tribes as well as Burial place for Tribal Leaders and Warriors of note as well.
Numerous Archaeologists over the last century also stated that the Pyramids were built solely as tombs for the Kings (Pharaohs) but when the they were opened NEVER was a Mummified body of ANY King ever discovered. The 3 Pyramids of Giza, for example, are NOT decorated in any way at all as are the much later tombs in the Valley of the Kings, so WHY is that?
That also applies to the Pyramids at Saqqarra and elsewhere as well.
When Italian Explorer, Bellisconi, opened up the Great Pyramid at Giza, sadly using gunpowder, it was still sealed solidly and soundly. When he finally managed to reach what is loosely called the 'Kings Chamber' it was completely empty except for the finely carved and shaped Red Marble stone 'Sarcophagus' with NO lid to close it, no remnants of wrappings, no skeletal remains, no signs of fire as used by the tomb robbers elsewhere, etc, etc, just 2 separate narrow shafts pointing, 1 towards the direction where the Sun rose at the Egyptian Summer Solstice and the other towards the 3 stars in the Belt of Constellation known as Orion.
Yes, there MAY have some sorts of religious rites and rituals in Ancient Egypt but they too came at much later times post the building of Pyramids and the like.

@TimeOutForMe It IS more than a mere POSSIBILITY that the bible/Judaic Belief system was 'plagiarised from both the Akhenaton period of Monotheism ( aka mis-named Atonism) and numerous other cultures from the regions around Egypt.
