Was moses real? were the jews really slaves in egypt?

Question

i was raised jewish, so i've always thought this was true. i realize jesus was a real person, because there is acheological evidence and scientific fact to prove his existence, but obviously the rest is according to religion. so were the jews really slaves, and if they were, who brought them to israel (or wherever they went if they didn't go there), and how did they get to that place.

be nice, don't offend anyone's beliefs, please.

You wrote: "i realize jesus was a real person, because there is acheological evidence and scientific fact to prove his existence..."

The evidence points to Jesus being a fictional character, based on other god-man characters from older religions.

Did a historical Jesus exist?
http://www.nobeliefs.com/exist.htm
[Excerpt]

ALL CLAIMS OF JESUS DERIVE FROM HEARSAY ACCOUNTS

No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus got written well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and dates to show that even if these sources did not come from interpolations, they could still not serve as reliable evidence for a historical Jesus, simply because all sources derive from hearsay accounts.

Hearsay means information derived from other people rather than on a witness' own knowledge.

Courts of law do not generally allow hearsay as testimony, and nor does honest modern scholarship. Hearsay provides no proof or good evidence, and therefore, we should dismiss it.

Answer 2

YES.

Answer 3

You ignore your own beliefs and traditions at no risk to me. If I believe them, it it a threat to you? Ignoring the God in the whole thing is just as much a mistake, as falsely attributing them as crimes against himself.
