Moses, the most Evil man who ever lived

[Egyptian Phoenix]

Dueteronomy 22:28 If a man rapes a young woman who is a virgin 29 he that lay with her must pay her father fifty shekels and marry her, and never divorce her as long as he lives (Good idea Moses)

Leviticus 20:13 If any one lie with a man as with a woman, both have committed an abomination, let them be put to death: their blood be upon them.

Dueteronomy 13:15 Thou shalt forthwith kill the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, and shalt destroy it and all things that are in it, even the cattle. (even the innocent animals?)

Duet 27:26 Cursed be he that abideth not in the words of this law, and fulfilleth them not in work: and all the people shall say: Amen.

Could anyone possibly be any worse then this Moses?

I'm not convinced this "Moses" existed seeing as he never appears in any Egyptian history, but if he did, they had to have kicked him out of Egypt. They wouldn't have had to let his people go, they would have begged them to leave. Egyptians were highly civilized and cultured people.

Egyptians had their good days and their bad days. I think it's a little odd to characterize someone who may not have existed as the most evil man who ever lived, though.

And in Moses' defense -- if there was such a person -- it's not likely he had anything to do with writing the laws in the OP.

The character of Moses is indeed a villain, atleast in my interpretation of the stories. What made me laugh was in....... Exodus 32 (IIRC) where the first order he gives after coming down with the 10 Commandments is to kill like 3000 people because they took off their clothes and made a golden calf and started worshipping it.

How about you...

3. Trolling and Bullying
We recognize three areas of unacceptable trolling (Please note that these apply to PMs, signature lines, frubal comments, and visitor messages as well, if they are reported):
1)posts that are deliberately inflammatory in order to provoke a vehement response from other users.
2)posts that Target a person or group by following them around the forums to attack them. This is Bullying. Deliberately altering the words of another member by intentionally changing the meaning when you use the quote feature is considered a form of bullying. The ONLY acceptable alteration of a quotation from another member is to remove portions that are not relevant or to alter formatting for emphasis.
3)posts that are adjudged to fit the following profile: "While questioning and challenging other beliefs is appropriate in the debates forums, repeated blatant misrepresentation or continual harassment of other beliefs will not be tolerated."

I am surprised that the people didn't kill Moses in the desert, he misleaded them and kept them there for 40 years!.How can it take you so long to lead people through a desert which should not take longer than a month?

The story makes it pretty clear that it was not a good idea to **** with Moses.

Could you be any more simplistic in your literalistic readings of Scripture? They were never designed to be taken 100% at face value: there has always been a oral tradition of interpretation.

Honestly, being contrarian is one thing, and if you don't like the Hebrew Scriptures, then don't be a Jew. Or, I guess, a Christian, though I still don't understand how they decide what in the Tanakh they're going to follow. But there's no reason to just crap on the Torah. That's offensive, and simplistic, and shallow, and deliberately provocative.

That about sums up the OP's posts on Abrahamic Faiths, nu?

This one crosses the line though. Feel free to also report it, as it violates the rules, as I quoted.
