Bump - This topics theme is polluting another topic
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. Source

SDMINISTRATIVE FLAG FOR ON/OFF TOPIC MONITORING
Make sure, in all messages, that there is some obvious connection to the topic theme.

Time for summations
The (at least) last two messages are totally off-topic, and the previous ones were marginal at best.
How about final statements on "Mythology with real places & people"? Put something about "summary" in the subtitle.
Let's wrap this one up at about 300 messages.
