The Garden of Eden is in Missouri!

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.

[–] Polyphilic@lemmy.ca 14 points 6 hours 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 4 points 4 hours ago

What does this post have to do with leftists?

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Polyphilic@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] maturelemontree@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] whereitsat@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. i wasn't willing to make this journey myself but i tried to put a grasshopper through the eye of a needle and i ended up impaling it through the forehead and the rest of the needle came straight out its ass.

i'm currently on a quest to figure out where john the baptist's head is buried.

Does that make the chosen people the Appalachian Hillbillies?

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

Americans believing the bible actually took place in the USA

Wait, they do?

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] waitingtech@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Israel has given settler rights to newly converted South Africa white migrants. Zionism is just a state of mind, man. Anyone (white) can do it.

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.zip 18 points 11 hours 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.

[–] weps@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 64 points 19 hours 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 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

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

[–] maturelemontree@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

And that, my children, is why we celebrate Easter.

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

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

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.

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.

[–] pumpupthejam@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

Gold? Frankincense? Myrrh?

More like vape pen, monster, and meth.

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] imadethis@fedinsfw.app 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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 13 hours 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".

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 14 points 18 hours ago

so, this is what they mean by AI hallucinations?

[–] xistera@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 21 hours 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.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] blkvvvs@lemmy.zip 35 points 23 hours ago
[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 8 points 19 hours 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.
