I've seen this question answered on here before, but not very well.
I've looked for reputable sources but the ones on both sides of the issue look like propaganda sites. The christian sites that seem to take at least a passing interest in scientific evidence has a weak argument, showing that there may or may not have been israelites in egypt at some point in time, while the ones claiming that they were never there look a bit sketchy.

The Emperor Julian (half brother of Constantine I, and succesor to Constantius on the Byzantine throne) was a scholar that reversed the Constantine movement of christianity as the official Roman religion to freedom of religion in 362 (for that he was called Julian the Apostate by the christians).
He died of an infected lance wound in 363, too soon to make a difference. He did not feel friendly to christians, recalling the role of the Bishop of Nicomedia in the murder of his family.
As a philosopher more than a statesman, he understood that Constantine had made a mistake in raising christianity to its position. The proof was that the christians were still denouncing one another as heretics and assassinating one another when the opportunity arose.
Power had proved as dangerous to the christians as it had to the Caesars. The gentle, neighbor-loving apostles of the "man-god" were becoming rather worse than the Jewish Zealots who had caused so much trouble to the Caesars.

This isn’t a mocking question like most religious questions are on this site...I consider myself fairly knowledgeable in the religion I was raised in...but never really understood how this was interpreted in the holy bible.

So I answered an Atheist question and when I submitted my response the person added this nugget of wisdom and it really got me thinking.

Where is the separation between being a God "fearing" Christian and becoming some type of religious fanatic? This is the exact opposite of what a Christian should believe. I would think that God itself would agree that using your faith as a reason to resort to violence is just as bad as anything else you could do! Just because you are doing it in the name of God doesnt make it right, just like we all feel about the terrorists using Islam as a reason to resort to murdering innocent people that do not share the same beliefs... Just wondering what you all think about this.

Christians, a fellow Christian has asked Atheists if they are involved in or believe in a grocery list of things. I think it only fair that Christians be asked a similarly offending list of questions.
1. Do you know everyone at your church and all of their business?
2. Do you like gossiping about others?
3. Do you refuse to take your children or yourself to the doctor because you believe God will heal you?
4. Do you believe in equal rights for all people?
5. Are you seen as someone who rams their faith down other people's throats?
6. Do you donate to any non-Christian organizations?
7. Would you march with Fred Phelps in protest of a gay parade?
8. Do others think you are kind and compassionate?

Honestly, I found the origional question offensive - so I thought you all should know how it feels.

It amazes me how so many Christians continue to believe that they are the ONLY kind, moral people on the face of the Earth.
