...what does that prove" "Robert" is quite a common name among Assyrian Christians...does that mean they are descended from Robert The Bruce?

...these feelble attempts of your's to make an end-run around the blaring grossness of your religion as well as your claim that Ashur was getting ready for Christ anyway...wherein you attempt to use "facts" and empirical data...like pulling a name or reference from your bible, instead of your arse..and think thereby that you have a factual basis for your wild assed original claim...is typical of you boys.

...the bible isn't history...it is lies on top of fables on top of embellishments which you choose to believe as history AND reveled Truth...go ahead. We wanted independent corroboration for the existence of ABRAHAM...NOT of his name!

...old Augustine had five steps by which he could prove god existed...the first being that you had to agree god exists...come on.

>It lends support for the theory that Hebrews are, in fact, as Mesopotamian as you are therefore it scares the shit out of you, doesn't it?

...oh for the love of Ashur...can you be serious?

>Tiglath? Any word from you on this evidence? C'MON. You asked for a non-biblical source for history. I've shown you evidence from your own precious Akkadian tablets in Mari. Have you nothing to say, Khizma, about your Akkadian brethren the Hebrews?

...a common name proves nothing...those tablets are real enough and we believe them because a name is a name...I don't believe Enlil and the rest of it..I believe THEY believed and I believe in the NAME and by what they did under that inspiration I honor their belief as having been of great value, both to them and the rest of humanity that have benefited so much from what we did UNDER that name and belief.

...Names would have travelled anywhere...because Abraham was a common name in BetNahrain..and because you found empirical evidence that these names EXISTED...says nothing about the truth or existence of THAT Abraham you call the father of anybody. There were hordes of merchants of BetNahrain travelling all over the place...taking their names WITH THEM! Tiglath asked for empirical evidence that Abraham...THAT Abraham ever existed...to prove that the NAME existed and then jump to the conclusion that THAT Abraham of the bible existed proves nothing, except that you're getting deseperate and sloppy... and doesn't answer his original challenge...are you feeling alright?
