I suppose that the existence of a real Mt. Sinai is a matter for scholars to debate. Personally, I'd like to see the acclaimed events, which have been recorded to have taken place at Mt. Sinai, to be proved irrefutably as a hoax.
Belief in the God presented at Mt. Sinai is the root premise of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. These religions have caused a lot of turmoil for a very long time.
In the free world, we are lucky enough to enjoy a democratic system of government. In my opinion, I think that mandates presented by politicians would be much more rational if the majority of them didn't believe in religions based on the unproven God of Mt. Sinai.
