    Moses is supposed to be Israelite. But yes, according to the period of his existence he was Egyptian.

    Moses' Hebrew mother, Jochebed, secretly hid him when Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed in order to reduce the population of the Israelites. Through Pharaoh's daughter (identified as Queen Bithia in the Midrash), the child was adopted as a foundling from the Nile and grew up with the Egyptian royal family

    Kinda like how Einstein couldn't accept action at a distance - it was "spooky" to him. It just didn't make sense to his humongous brain. He wasn't alone though; Newton famously replied "hypothesis non fingo" which in modern terms translates to "I haven't the foggiest". Sounds better in Latin don't it?

    By the way merci beaucoup for the translation.

    they refer to 1) a "rational" God and 2) a God that think as humans think. Yet, such a God may not exist.Alkis Piskas
    Yes. One take away from the lack of a scripture (as described in the OP) is that God as often conceived may not exist.

    Right. And when we are talking about the concept of God, must also take into consideration that he is conceived differently among different religions.

    Poor old Lewis. If only he had died in that train wreck, too.

    Can't delete, alas.

    A genuine word of God, let's see ... shouldn't it be first and foremost al-Haqq (the truth) about us? Genocides (used herein as the worst-case scenario) I think that's us, yeah, that's definitely us ... the Bible does contain passages on how this tribe wiped out that tribe and how that tribe did the same or so I'm told.
