What exactly do you mean here??

I know, that's why i said "other pursuits".Hope is mainly useful when it inspires you to do something useful - e.g. feeding the hungry. Hope for a better world here, not in an imagined "afterlife".
There is nothing virtuous about false hope.What exactly do you mean here??
who said false hope? most people have hope and dreams... pretty obvious mate.There is nothing virtuous about false hope.
it makes me feel good, now i can ignore you.Would it be good if I promise you a fancy dinner knowing that I will never give it to you? Should be OK, right? It will make you happy to anticipate something.
Neither. This is a coral formation. They form that way, much like the canopy of a tree -except the coral "canopy" is getting nutrients from the currents above the sea floor.Finding a chariots wheels in the Sea that Moses supposedly crossed is odd because:
A) The story might actually be historically correct.
B) A chariot happened to be in the sea.

The Egyptians left numerous writings. They speak of other nations and other kings but do not mention the Hebrews. There are no Hebrew artifacts found inside Egypt. And yet there are Hebrew artifacts on Elephantine Island.
etc.
Those would be severely out of place for the time period.Have you considered that 200 or 300 years , the Hebrew were EGYPTIANS. citizen, They had the egyptian gods , the customs, if so why would they be mentioned in their writings. Artifacts , would you consider a menorah , or a star of David .
According to the Bible, who were the kings of Egypt during that 200-300 year period you are referring to? Using that information, can you determine the date of their entrance into and exodus from Egypt?Have you considered that 200 or 300 years , the Hebrew were EGYPTIANS. citizen, They had the egyptian gods , the customs, if so why would they be mentioned in their writings.
