 OK. Let���s start there. Does common sense say the ancient
Egyptian religion is true? Or a myth?
 

 A satanic imposter.

 Thanks. You actually answered a question.
 OK, now _why_ do you think common sense would say that? Is
it really common sense to assume the Egyptians were too stupid
and unimaginative to make up their own myths?

 So Dave's version of common sense says that the Egyptian gods DID exist, but
that they were Satanic imposters.  Interesting - why does he think Satan was deceiving the Egyptians? What does
common sense tell us about why he was doing it 8,000 or so years ago -
according to archaeology - and why didn't Jehovah have a pantheon or
presence to oppose Satan? Why was Satan busy doing this 3,000 years before
the first Canaanites began to be Jewish and to write their stories?

 REcall Exodus.

 And does common sense mean that the flood myth, which was very clearly a
re-telling of the earlier Babylonian / Sumerian legends, is also a Satanic
deception? Because that's in the Bible ...

 Lie!

But the Flood is a real event , unlike the falsified Babylonian / Sumerian
retell.

That statement contains two huge lies / errors Dave-
1) The Flood is not a real event - at least, not the one in the Bible while
 there is  geological and archaeological evidence for a localised flood in
 Mesopotamia about 7,000 years ago, there is absolutely nothing to.support
 the utterly mythical global one.
2) The Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh is about 5,000 years old and predates the
 writing of Genesis by over 2,000 years.
In it, there is an account of the great sage Utnapishtim, who is warned of
 an imminent flood to be unleashed by wrathful gods. He builds a vast
 circular-shaped boat, reinforced with tar and pitch, that carries his
 relatives, grains, and animals. After enduring days of storms,
 Utnapishtim releases a bird in search of dry land.
Sound at all familiar? It is the story of Noah that is an overblown
 retelling of the myth.
