   There are scholars that spend their entire career on that history. And   
   they have a deeper understanding of the texts than I can. They do not   
   have a consensus.   
      
   What bothers me is anti-god botherrers making the same lame arguments as   
   god botherrers. And destroying logic, science, and rationality.   
      
   It is really okay to maybe be mistaken. Mistakes are built into our   
   perceptions.
