Wait, this isn't a bit?
I mean, OP is the one saying leftists, ask them
Does that make the chosen people the Appalachian Hillbillies?
That tracks
If this is true shouldn't all the MAGGATs give up their land to Zionists?
The idea of Americans believing the bible actually took place in the USA is the most American thing I can imagine.
Also, counterpoint: The Bible actually took place in Scotland, specifically in an around the Forth. Here are my arguments:
- The Forth has more than seven tributries, including (but not limited to) The Leven, The Esk, The Water of Leith, the Almond, The Avon, and The Carron.
- Scotland was actually, provably, occupied by the Romans and still has Roman remains.
- Splitting the sea at the Inchgarvie Narrows makes more sense than splitting the Red sea.
- The Islands of the Forth are full of Hermitages, and Inchcolm has a Abbey, why? BECAUSE THEY KNEW!!!
- The Temple was built on a mount and surrounded by walls? St Margaret's Chapel is on a mount surrounded by walls. Ergo; Edinburgh Castle is the actual site of The Temple!
- America has had no Presidents called "David", but Scotland has had two.
COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!
You should start a podcast
You know all the depictions of Jesus do look a lot more like a Scotsman than someone from Jerusalem.
Okay, the first problem is that the Bible does not say that Nile has 7 tributaries.
It says that (a different river, likely Euphrates), will get smashed into 7.
The second problem is everything else.
yes, they sold the greatest lie in history and were very successful with it
Yeah.
And Moses split the Gulf of California to deliver his people to the promised land... Baja California.
That explains why* we have Baja Blast today!!!
I always knew it to be a celestial elixir
Ah yes, the Mississippi, the only river with 7 tributaries in the world. Of course.
Honestly even the fucking Sava river had more than 7 before it even leaves Slovenia (small country).
Brazil is nothing but lies straight from the mouth of Satan.
Its a true fact!
I felt it in my tummy!
And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in the stars and stripes, and laid Him in the bed of the truck, because there was no room for them in the holiday inn.
Gold? Frankincense? Myrrh?
More like vape pen, monster, and meth.
Then Joseph put some miles on it, for blessed are the child diddlers.
Savior at the hotel, motel, holiday Inn
And then they went to the combination pizza hut and taco bell
The fuck is a tributary? Because there are way more rivers than just those seven that drain to the mississippi. Wikipedia even says that tributaries include streams, and good lord I know even the tiniest of rivers will have many streams feeding it. Declaring a certain size of river/water body to be a tributary is just fucking around with numbers to prove your point.
It is a question of major tributaries. Depending how one defines "major", about any number is possible. You can probably claim the Mississippi has one major tributary: the Missouri. Or you can claim it has hundreds, of your "major" definition is "mapped running water".
so, this is what they mean by AI hallucinations?
Kinda related: The mormons believe that the garden of Eden was where Independence, Missouri is now... and everything resettled in the Middle East after the flood.
When I started reading the post, I honestly expected it to end with ..."and that's why the Mormons are right about Eden being in Missouri."
Obviously the answer is Jesus was in North America, Joseph Smith was right, and Matthew Mark Luke and John were a bit confused.
How do they determine the beginning of a river? Should it be the furthest point of something? Why isn't the Missouri River the "Mississippi" and the remaining portion of the Mississippi north of that junction the Missouri instead?
In Europe you often have either 2 rivers forming a new one or the bigger one eats the smaller one
Historical exploration mostly. It’s very often referred to as the Mississippi-Missouri River in a general context
There's a guy who long maintained that the Garden of Eden is found near the Florida panhandle and there's a park to commemorate this.
~~The Mormons believe it was in present day Missouri.~~
Edit - Already posted elsewhere in this thread.
The Atchafalaya is a distributary, not a tributary.
Also it has way more than 7, those are just the major ones.
All I know for sure is that Atlantis was in Iowa.
“The Bible says…” Stop. There’s your problem right there.
It's been in there for 6000 years. If it was wrong, someone would have corrected it by now
I wouldn’t say it’s “wrong” so much as it is fantasy literature. Looking to the Bible for geography is like reading The Lord of the Rings to figure out where the Colorado river is.
The Bible wasn't written 6000 years ago. It posits that history began 6000 years ago.
The Bible does not posit that the earth is 6,000 years old. You're thinking of Dispensationalists.
