You show your ignorance again. In many cases it is evidence of absence. Think about it for a while and maybe you might just figure it out. I won't hold my breath.

the OP made no qualification beyond what i posted.
If you would like the poster to move the goalpost, surely they would oblige.



Which says nothing about the absurdity of pointing to a circumcision as an exemption to the OP. I have no problem with your point since it does more damage to your own position than it does to the OP. Feel free to suggest that it might have been a priest trying to circumcise someone.

By the way, moving the goal posts is only an effective rejoinder when the movement adds an additional requirement of proof. What you have done is move the goal post toward your opponent.

Have another go.
Take a look at the figure who is standing and is clearly black, upon which Joseph has drawn a white head.
Now shift your gaze a little lower down and see if you can tell us the colour of his black legs....

My position? Pretty sure i have yet to state one...but feel free to quote it for me here...our should we just assume more predisposition from the peanut gallery?

As for more proof...it is, at this point, not necessary because the challenge cleary stated in the OP hasi been meet.
In other words, " that was through the goalposts"

Obviously, you should read the OP again...it is not exclusive to "priests"

"I'd even like to see any picture that from a pryamid text or a coffin text that shows anyone..."

Feel free to board the loser train with Themis and Bazooka, its going somewhere you guys are all too familiar with.

In other words you got nothing but a picture of a circumcision on someone who obviously can't be Abraham.

Thought so.

So up to proof. Find all the papyri, texts, pyramid texts or coffin texts where a knife, sword, or blade, is held with the purpose of cutting someone. Good luck.

I don't have to move any goals posts. You've already done it. When do you see circumcision done in any "BOOK of the DEAD"? Unless, of course, it's a circumcision gone horribly wrong.
