[SoConPubbie]

On their return to Judea they brought the monotheistic idea with them. So we all owe a lot to the Parsi.

Ah ha, sure they did.

And it had nothing to do with Moses, the 10 commandments or anything else concerning monotheism that is written in the old testament before the Babylonian exile, right?

Find me anything in the Old Testament that supports your conclusion.

[Republic_Venom]

Wonder why the Torah says, you shall have no other gods before me. My mother never once in her life said, you shall not call any other woman your mother. She never had to say that. Why does your god say that? Seems he is like a jealous teen girl acknowledging that there are other pretty girls around?

The Parsi don’t acknowledge there are any other gods. They don’t even mention it. Why does your god go on and on about other gods?
