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 know all the depictions of Jesus do look a lot more like a Scotsman than someone from Jerusalem.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

You should start a podcast

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.

[–] burgermeister@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

Savior at the hotel, motel, holiday Inn

And then they went to the combination pizza hut and taco bell

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Then Joseph put some miles on it, for blessed are the child diddlers.

[–] pumpupthejam@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Gold? Frankincense? Myrrh?

More like vape pen, monster, and meth.

[–] Polyphilic@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What do leftists have to so with the Bible?

Also 2000 years ago river systems were different.

This is real dumb

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What does this post have to do with leftists?

[–] Polyphilic@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

That's what im trying to find out

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Polyphilic@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, OP is the one saying leftists, ask them

[–] maturelemontree@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

If I were to take a guess its that, being a shitpost, OP was being something called "sarcastic."

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 67 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yeah.

And Moses split the Gulf of California to deliver his people to the promised land... Baja California.

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

That explains why* we have Baja Blast today!!!

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Ah yes, the Mississippi, the only river with 7 tributaries in the world. Of course.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Brazil is nothing but lies straight from the mouth of Satan.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Honestly even the fucking Sava river had more than 7 before it even leaves Slovenia (small country).

Why are so many people taking a shitpost so seriously, some of ya'll have watched wayyyyy too much Woke Veggie Tales

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does that make the chosen people the Appalachian Hillbillies?

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 38 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Obviously the answer is Jesus was in North America, Joseph Smith was right, and Matthew Mark Luke and John were a bit confused.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Thank Leif Erickson for bringing Christianity back to Europe and the Middle East, then going back in time and having his father Eric the Red build the first church in Greenland

[–] blkvvvs@lemmy.zip 36 points 2 days ago
[–] xistera@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

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".

Christianity loses basically all of its real historical support if you remove the Roman context. But that's kind of on brand for evangelicals who seem to think that "faith" is only pure when the conjecture defies all logic, reason and is in conflict with any external information.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Christianity loses basically all of its real historical support if you remove the Roman context.

Given how much of the ancient world we know about because preserved Roman texts mentioned it, that's not surprising.

[–] weps@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

yes, they sold the greatest lie in history and were very successful with it

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 days ago

so, this is what they mean by AI hallucinations?

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The Atchafalaya is a distributary, not a tributary.

[–] Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

Also it has way more than 7, those are just the major ones.

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

All I know for sure is that Atlantis was in Iowa.

“The Bible says…” Stop. There’s your problem right there.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It's been in there for 6000 years. If it was wrong, someone would have corrected it by now

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The Bible wasn't written 6000 years ago. It posits that history began 6000 years ago.

If this is true shouldn't all the MAGGATs give up their land to Zionists?
