Yes but you have a habit of doing such things. If religion bothers you so much then ignore it.

Of course it is his right. But sheez, his comments serve no purpose. He is deeply offended by religion so I was merely suggesting he avoid such topics.

To me, this sounds like propaganda as prominent Jews sought to justify his rule as the new king of Israel by establishing a link with the ancient kings. It seems to have been successful as Cyrus is remembered as a virtuous king, despite being a gentile

My ole friend is spot on here. As that is exactly the reason why he was held in and remains in high esteem. He and his successors (not often remembered) allowed for a re-emergence of an ancient Jewish state and religion in the region. Although the term ''propaganda'' might be substituted with 'justification' ie. legal and royal precedent and prerogative (merely me ya understand ). Why? Is another tale for another time as far as my personal participation is concerned. I remain satisfied with this...... Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whom he has taken by his right hand to subdue nations before him and strip the loins of kings, to force gateways before him that their gates be closed no more: I will go before you levelling the heights. I will shatter the bronze gateways, smash the iron bars. I will give you the hidden treasures, the secret hoards, that you may know that I am the Lord. (Isaiah 45:1-3)

I think this old site deserves some more attention! So, I would suggest that you read it, and then respond.
