into every heaven a litle rain must fall

I don't think most historians regard the bible as a source of history.  It has spurred some archaeological expeditions and they have discovered things like a place where people used to live but not that the actual characters named in the bible existed.  King David for example, most likely a myth.  I have read a lot of this stuff over the years, but mostly I used this wiki article for what I have been saying:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israelites

Unless it can be confirmed independently i am rejecting the bible as a source of history.

I assume that Jesus said something like turn the other cheek, in fact isn't that phrase his?  But I think most other religions have said something like that too.  You fault me for not reading  like the bible or the koran or the torah, but those are like massive books.  If I spent all my time reading them, I would never be able to write my daily posts.

Before World War II there was a lot of anti-semitism going on all over the world.  In the USA only a certain amount of Jews were allowed in our higher institutions of learning and country clubs and whatnot.  I assume that goes way back to the emergence of Christianity as a power, because there is that tangled relationship between Judaism and Christianity, but probably mostly because they were non-Christians living in a land of Christians.  it always seemed like an odd thing to me.  I could see where the huddled masses might go for something like that, but it was also prevalent among the well-educated.

I have heard those theories about how under the correct climactic conditions something that looked a little like the Red Sea parting might have taken place, but it seems pretty far-fetched that such a thing would have happened at the exact time when the Pharoah was coming after the Israelites (which almost surely never happened) and allowed thousands of them to cross and then closed up right exactly when the Pharoah came after them. 

I don't recall anything like the parting of the Red Sea happening on Lake Erie (Are you saying like at some point Lake Erie parted and all the Michiganders who had been held slaves in Cleveland hightailed it across to the promised land and then it closed up on the Ohio highway patrol?  And I certainly haven't heard of it happening in Chicago.  I imagine if any of our Cheesehead or Hoosier slaves attempted to bolt we would just let them go.  Well we would probably charge them a fee.

Weren't we talking about immortality?  You know the problem with that is, well I guess it works well enough for hell, being miserable for eternity is something that the human brain can wrap itself around, but eternal happiness, it just sounds boring.  How can there be good guys if there are no bad guys to compare them to?  I imagine life is pretty idyllic out there in Beaglesonia, but don't you like a little rain, a little snow sometime, maybe for Ronald Reagan to break down from time to time so that you can have the nice drive out to whatever town the dealer is in?  I imagine if everytime you went out to the blind a deer immediately walked up and put its nose against Old Betsy, or cute little Mama Grizzly, you would get tired of deer hunting.
