Abrahamism Buster

 If Sharia were an eternal divine revelation, why do we find it written word for word on stone 1,000 years before Moses?

1. Ablution and ritual purity.. an Egyptian theft.

Before the Hebrews knew anything called ablution, the Egyptian priest would wash his hands, face, and feet 5 times a day before entering the temple, shave all the hair on his body, and be forbidden from eating pork and fish without scales, while considering a woman impure during menstruation.

And the Babylonians would bathe after sexual intercourse in the same way, saying: Water purifies the soul.

Suddenly the Torah came and said: Wash this and that, do not eat pork, a woman is impure.

Then the Quran came and said the exact same thing, down to the last detail: "And if you are in a state of major ritual impurity, purify yourselves" "Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, and the flesh of swine."

The God of the universe knows nothing but the hygiene rules of the Nile Valley?

2. Circumcision.. not a sign of the covenant, but a sign of slaves.

Circumcision did not begin with Abraham. Archaeologists have found a 5,000-year-old Egyptian mummy that was circumcised. And they found an inscription in the temple of Saqqara from 2400 BC depicting a mass circumcision.

Among the Egyptians, circumcision was a ritual for priests and slaves, a sign that you belonged to the temple. Among some African tribes, it was a rite of passage into adulthood.

The Hebrews in Egypt took the custom of their masters and turned it into a "covenant with God."

And the Muslims took it from them, even though the Quran never mentioned it even once. An entire religion cuts off a part of a child's body who knows nothing, based on a 5,000-year-old pharaonic custom.

3. Retaliation and prescribed punishments.. a copy of the Code of Hammurabi.

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" - this is not revelation. This is Law 196 in the Code of Hammurabi, written on a basalt stone in Babylon in 1754 BC, 1,000 years before the Torah.

"Whoever kills shall be killed, whoever steals shall have his hand cut off, whoever commits adultery shall be stoned" - all of these were in the Code of Hammurabi, the Assyrian law, and Hittite law.

The only difference: Hammurabi said honestly: This is my law, I, the king, established it to organize my state.

But the priests said: This is God's law, whoever objects to it is an unbeliever.

Is the God of the universe incapable of inventing a new punishment? Is all he has the ability to imitate a Babylonian king?

4. The logic that demolishes everything:

If Sharia were from God, why is it preoccupied with trivial things and ignores matters of life and death?

God in Sharia intervenes in: how you enter the bathroom, which foot you use, how you sleep, how you trim your beard, what you eat, and whether you wear gold or not.

But he is completely silent about: slavery, he did not forbid it. Marital rape, he did not forbid it. Child marriage, he did not forbid it. Burning people alive, he did not forbid it. Political tyranny, he did not forbid it.

A god who cares about the length of your beard and does not care about a person's freedom? This is not a god. This is a nomadic priest who wants to control every detail of your life, even your entering the bathroom.

Sharia is not morality. Sharia is a surveillance system.

The king used to watch you with the army, the priest invented a Sharia that watches you even when you are alone in your room.

First they stole the story.

Second they stole the god.

Third they stole your fate after death.

Fourth they stole your daily life and called it halal and haram.

All that remains is you.

The fifth post will be the last and the most dangerous: Why did the miracle die? Why did all the miracles happen in a time when there were no cameras or documentation, and stop suddenly the moment humans invented the camera and science?
