“Today Assyrians know about Gilgamesh and Napishtum coming before Noah and Sargon being set adrift in a basket before Moses,”

*True.

“ but they didn’t until the Europeans dug their history up for them.”

*So? What’s your point?

“We forgot our history and culture for centuries and believed the bible instead.”

*And we did... Should we drop and forget about it now because we lost track of it before?

“So keep that in mind when you tell us that everything started with Assyrians. It may have, but we forgot it long ago.”

*And other people in the world has, not only forgotten it’s past, it has also vanished forgotten from the face of the planet. Are you saying people shouldn’t remember once they have forgotten something?

“Of course the Hebrews took from other civilizations, but apparently they valued what they stole more than we who created it.”

*Naturally, because we “forgot it”, remember?

“Would it have been so hard for Assyrians to have kept one book all those years,”

*Obviously it was. Otherwise they would have kept a book... (consider all the invasions and the circumstances they went through since the fall of the Assyrian Empire)

“as the Jews kept their bible, where we recorded our own ancient history, heroes, legends, myths, wars, prophets, as they did and as they taught US all about us from them?”

*It isn’t too late anyway, things are coming out and refreshing everything...

“Every civilization back then had laws, taught its young to honor parents, condemned theft and adultery and urged people to be law abiding and decent in their private lives. The, Egyptians, Babylonians, Hittites and Assyrians taught these things and even they took from earlier cultures. Nothing was new back then or original to anybody….except for one thing; the Messiah. Show us anywhere in Assyrian history where people longed for a Savior. The Hebrews desperately needed “heavenly hosts” and a fantastic general….the Assyrians had those things. Their King David was a thief, adulterer, traitor. Not a brick of Solomon’s Temple has ever been found so what kind of “empire” did he have? “

*True

“The Old Testament is a collection of nonsense the world could well do without. Our tragedy is that we try to govern our lives and relationships according to the precepts of half-savages of 3000 years ago….except we have nuclear weapons now to REALLY smite ourselves with. The sooner we dump ALL that crap, including the New Testament, the sooner we can save this planet.”

*Agreed

“the hell with heaven…I want earth.”

Hell and heaven are here on earth. We experience them while we are alive depending on how we think and live... Anyone tells you otherwise is delusional.
