Frank interpretation of biblical brutality - gotta love it.

@N00bcrunch3r Here's Pope: A little learning is a dangerous thing/Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring/There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain/While drinking largely sobers us again. -- You need to toss your bible. It takes away objectivity when analysing archaeology and history. You try to make findings match scripture, which is not a good idea. BTW, I am surprised you have never heard of Odin/Woden: Wednesday is named after him.

[tigranvartanovitch]

The relevance is this. She may not tell you this, but Queen Elizabeth II of the UK is a direct decendant of Odin, the Norse god. Her ancestor, Egbert, had a family tree that could be traced directly to Odin. So Queen Elizabeth is of the House of Odin. Likewise the House of David is named after a god, not a king. At one time hereditary rulers were thought of as deity. All over the world, from the Pharaohs of Egypt to the Emperor of Japan. It's mumbo jumbo, of course, but there you are.

@tigranvartanovitch

Yes. But for the most part, most scholars and archeologists agree that the HSFDVD refers to the "House of David" and that the Tel Dan Stele is a genuine artifact. It was written around 850 BC, far to early for David to have totally turned into a legend.

No I never heard of Odin. What relevance does a Norse god have to Israel?

[tigranvartanovitch]

@N00bcrunch3r The steles you mentioned are not the tablets I had in mind. What they say is disputed. The former mentions an altar of David. What you are saying is that IF they mention "House of David", then that means the King David existed, right? Before I quote Alexander Pope at you, could you answer me this question, please: Have you ever heard of a Norse god called Odin, a.k.a. Woden?

@tigranvartanovitch

I think you are confusing David with Dagon. Saying David was Canaanite god is a rather bullshitted claim. Perhaps I should actually mention the evidence. Look up the Mesha and Tel Dan stele and swallow their information. If the information is good enough for you, have a fun time shitting out the stone tablets.

[tigranvartanovitch]

@N00bcrunch3r I know. I know. They could have used chariots for transport. They could have hired mercenaries. But you want the bible to be right. It's not. The Philistines had 30,000 chariots, when their population was no bigger than 25,000? David was a Canaanite god. He never actually lived on the earth. The archaeologists have found no trace of King David, nor his supposed son, Solomon. And it's not exactly from lack of searching. The "great city" of Jerusalem at this time was some hick town.

@tigranvartanovitch

It may or may not work like that. If there is no evidence to suggest that they used chariots, but if there is no evidence to say they didn't use chariots, then your left with nothing but speculation in which neither side is right or wrong.

I'll give you hint, try WATCHING the documentary. It answers this question at the beginning. Personally, I am tired of having to answer this question because people are too lazy to actually watch it. 

[tigranvartanovitch]

@N00bcrunch3r Doesn't work like that. You have to prove they used them. BTW, have you any evidence to prove that King David actually existed?

[N00bcrunch3r]

@tigranvartanovitch

I am not saying you are wrong, but do you have any evidence to support your claim that the Philistines never used chariots?
