In history class we learned that Judaism borrowed the ten commandments from civil laws predating it. Religions are like that: stealing credit for things.
@FeliciaG No, but it was agenda driven bias. I'm not a religious person but the code of Hammurabi was not similar to the ten commandments. It was longer and much more detailed. Some of that stuff is just logical social constructs. The Egyptians had one that was actually closer to the ten commandments. It sounds like an atheist professor with an ax to grind. No big deal. I'm not going to break out the torch and pitch fork or anything! 😁
@FeliciaG You can read the Code of Hammurabi and the Story of Gilgamesh on line. It's amazing to see the parallels. Sometimes there are truths, that one should allow people to grasp without being prompted. It wouldn't be ethical for a professor to come out and say that Judaic scripture was plagiarized. That all I meant to say. I wasn't trying to be Sammy Stir Shit either! Not this time! 🤔
