The superstitions of goatherders and priests from long ago are not valid in today's society. My life is too short to get wrapped up in the whole glub thing.
But if you want to believe that there was a historic figure named Moses who received a container with the ten commandments inside from our invisible buddy who livee in the sky, be my guest.
My favorite biblical movie scene is where Mel Brooks comes down the mountain with the 15 commandments, drops a tablet and quickly revises the laws the jews must live by to ten.
Superstitions... heh. God can be proven through logic, observation, and reason.
Aquinas gave five proofs of God, none of which had anything to do with "superstition".
If believing in God is superstition, then why do Einstein, Sagan, and Hawkings all acknowledge at least the possibility of God, based on their inability to answer certain questions?
Well, I don't want to get in an argument, but my position that God (as the xtians know him) doesn't exist is as valid as stating he does.
To put it in another way, I just believe in one fewer gods than Christians do. If pressed on the "atheist" tag I will confess to being a buddhist. Nirichen is a historic figure.
Getting back to the point, the old testament story that Moses was handed the ten commandments *from god* is so far fetched to be unbelievable.

I want to see some carbon 14 testing on this relic.
Of course, the tablets with the ten commandments will have english lettering in keeping with King Jame's bible.

So what do you do if it's the real deal?

Read on that for a while - if you dare.
