Let’s be thankful to the philosophers of the Enlightenment that we atheists may carry our atheism openly, and point out absurdities of religious belief such as these:
Jews believe that Moses set down the ritual laws of a Temple that was conceived and constructed about 300 years after his death.
Christians believe that a Jewish man executed by the Romans as an insurrectionist was the creator of the universe.
Muslims believe that the sister of Moses was the mother of the Jewish man who was executed by the Romans as an insurrectionist some twelve hundred years after her death.
Wow, that last one is a doozy! Whoever came up with that one was seriously math-impaired!
Or maybe they just thought (like our modern media) that everyone else was really stupid and wouldn’t bother to do any fact checking, which does seem to have been a correct assumption.
Many settled peoples, from the most ancient times in recorded history, have celebrated when the Harvest came in. Actually, I’d guess not just “many” but “all”.
But to me the Greeks are always especially interesting.
