35. The Hebrews wrote it in their bible, so I guess their God must have said it.

It's ridiculous to believe otherwise. After all, they're God's chosen people.
Again, they wrote that in their bible, so their God must have said it.
The question is, who is this God they speak of? And, why does he love this particular group of Semites more than anyone else?
Kinda unbelievable isn't it? I mean really unbelievable...totally unbelievable, as in no way this is actually true.
People can write or say anything and claim it's God's word, and they will always be able to get a whole bunch of other people to believe it.
