2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

I'd just like to point out that Moses wasn't a Jew, he was a Hebrew until the "peculiar set of circumstances surrounding the events at Mt. Sainai." Lyra § talk 23:01, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

What would be the specific clarification there? Just to ask for definitions since I'm unclear. --Eira omtg! The Goat be praised. 23:05, 2 June 2008 (EDT)
Hebrew = ethnic group in northeast Africa. Jew = Follower of the Torah. Moses never even lived to see the Five Books written, he was only a prohet. Lyra § talk 23:09, 2 June 2008 (EDT)
NUH-UH! He was totally a Jew, and he wrote the Five Books, that's why they're called "1st Moses" through "5th Moses" :P This is a bunch of swill, like claiming that Jesus wasn't a Christian. If he wasn't a Christian, then why did the Jews kill him? HM? HM? --Eira omtg! The Goat be praised. 19:24, 4 June 2008 (EDT)
Moses wasn't originally a Jew. There are very few Jews who think Moses wrote all five books. There were most likely many authors. Moses became a Jew much in the way Mohammad became a Moslem, when God spoke to him and told him that he was the One True God. Lyra § talk 19:52, 4 June 2008 (EDT)
