Here and upthread at the "Is belief in God or the Bible necessary to believe in a massive flood" topic, real places and
not(?) real places in the Bible has become an off-topic subtheme.
the question ppl have to ask themselves is would a book of myth and legend contain so many real places and people and dates and times
How many places visited during the Exodus have been shown to be real?
Name a real person from any of the first five books of the Old Testament, and provide evidence that they were real.
I'm going to close that other topic, at least for a while.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.
