Dereism?

I have never witnessed as much concentrated stupidity as I have in the past week of IaJ's posting.
I think he's dereistic, which would explain both the apparent stupidity and the bizarre language problems. Language is genuinely difficult for him, which was why I was teasing on this thread, and got my result.
Look at my post with the three laughing heads, and the two phrases that he manages to perceive as meaning the same thing. Weird, eh?

It is blatant the greeks got their 'alpha beta' from the Hebrew 'alef bet'
Wrong. The resemblance is because both derive from the Phoenician alphabet, really an abjad, or proto-alphabet, because it has only consonant sounds. The Greek alphabet is the first to include vowel as well as consonant sounds, and is therefore the first full alphabet. This alphabet dates from the 9th or 8th century B.C.
....and there was no greeks 3000 years ago.
Wrong again. The Greek language existed for some centuries before this, and there were two (non-phonetic) written forms, Linear A and Linear B.
So, Greek language dates from about 3,500 years ago, and Greek alphabetical writing from about 2,800 years ago. It was the first alphabet with symbols for vowel sounds, therefore the first true alphabet.
That'll offend your racial patriotism, won't it?

Bluegenes did not show an earlier alphabetical greek writings.
Bluegenes showed you alphabetical Greek writing 200 years older than the date you gave as a challenge.
You will find such depictions are made to foster christianity's predominance premise, and negate Judaism's history
Rubbish. The Greek writing is from Pagan culture, and has nothing to do with Christianity, obviously. Christianity was certainly a Jewish invention, not a Greek one. That's why it's so obviously silly.

For example, if you know it's wrong to murder but you don't believe in God then you still know Gods expressed will. Meaning you sin when you murder - whether you believe in God or not.
So, if I stone someone to death for working on the Sabbath, murder under the law of this land, will I have sinned in the eyes of your God?
