There are lots of famous Jewish atheists from Sigmund Freud to Ayn Rand to Isaac Asimov to Woody Allen.
How do you think the Jewish community would have reacted if what follows had happened?
A Jewish couple, atheists, artists, puts on an exhibit in which they critique five major religions with artworks and commentary. At the end of the first day the gallery owner comes up to them and says, you are attacking Islam and that means you favor the Jews in "Palestine." This is "racism."
They try to explain that they are critiquing five major religions equally, did not single out Islam, did not mention the Palestinian issue, and therefore took no position on it.
Not good enough. The gallery owner continues his tirade and blames the Jews in "Palestine" for all the woes of the Arabs. The woman asks, "What is your reaction when Arabs blow up a bus full of Jewish children?" His response, "So what?"

Indeed, you want the freedom to scornfully refer to "the numskulls translated the Torah," and to assert the writer of the book of Daniel was a con artist, and to relegate Christianity to a Greek myth and a “social disease,” and Christians as being “parasites,” “cancer,” and to proudly boast "I am what you call a heretic. They don’t burn us today, sorry." All on an officially pro-God forum, as in Judeo-Christian. But which arrogance befits your attitude.
The Indians were coming in to Egypt for centuries. A cult developed around Yeshu, a name for Krishna. His number two was Pet.Ra, same kind of name as Potiphe.Ra, related to the sun god Ra, and he was the gatekeeper of the Egyptian heaven. He got the same position in the new cult. The mother’s name was either Maya, mother of Buddha, or Meri, a common Egyptian name. When Greeks got hold of the myth they gave her a Latin name Maria, cognate of Marius. Petra in Greek is feminine so that was flipped that to Petros. The first the Jews heard about this myth was circa 120. Meir, the sage, read the book in Greek. He called it the Aven Gilyon, “an edition of inquity.” But they knew the god in the myth with the Greek name by his original Hindi name and it was never changed.
If you are not looking for an argument then do not post such propaganda, which has about as much credibility as Mormonic doctrine, and swallowed by you. Such copycat contrivances abound and have been refuted, but they are latched onto by many who seek some way to deny the Lord Jesus who will be their savior or judge.
Many sources can be provided, but here i will stay on one site that deals with such copycat assertions. See here on Were Bible stories and characters stolen from pagan myths? >

And The Book of Daniel Defended
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. (2 Peter 1:16)
Not only, but he denied they were preChristian. Yet we are told (#21) "the only time there were known Jewish Christians in Israel was in the period between 120 and 135." Thus the DSS came after the destruction of the Temple! But the clandestine contender is gone so he escapes answering this.
He certainly was asking for it. But your patience enabled him to be challenged and his sophistry exposed, thank God.
Aahhh...
Maybe THEY don't give them; but...
There are five angels named in the Bible: Abaddon, Beelzebul, Gabriel, Michael, and Satan.
Oh NO!!!
What is the definition of TOO soon???
Oh good! I was hoping he would. Good riddance.
Which he at least admitted, though denying the atheist and anti-semite aspect. Good job on outing this covert operative (how did you know?), and for the many others who helped to challenge and refute his specious polemics, all to willingly swallowed by those who cry, "We will not have this man to reign over us." (Luke 19:14)
May all of me want and see Him rule over me always.
Alas, I have arrived again too late.
It seems our opponent has assumed room temperature.
He's pinin' for the fiords... He done been moon-beamed.... Rode the lightnin'...
“Certain” rabbis...
How do you know?
Thx for the links, btw... the ‘Defense of Daniel’ was particularly interesting
Thanks for those links!
He’s no longer with us.
(Rest in Peas)
they have to hide behind the mask -
You can believe what you want. You have a bunch of numskulls not fluent in Greek guessing words and that’s what they came up with.
You admit that you do not know Greek, and then condemn those who are not fluent in Greek as *numbskulls*.
You just condemned yourself with your own words.
Ping.....
IATZ, I see.
Oh well. Late to the party again.
Just to be fair, while it seems almost certain he was an atheist, despite his denial, I don’t think he was an anti-Semite. Assuming he’s this Dov Ivry person, then he’s got those books of his on Amazon, and he’s written a fair amount there describing the content of those books. Based on what I saw in that content, he sounds to me like a totally secular Jew with a mission to discredit religion generally. He also thinks Obama is facilitating the rise of the Fourth Reich, of which he speaks disapprovingly. So I’m not seeing the anti-Semitism.
