The cities that your phony god alleged to depopulate are along the Nile.

Egypt does not border Ethiopia....apparently your fucking god sucks at geography, too.

(Egypt's southern border is Sudan...Nubia in antiquity.)

I dont think your understanding of..."from the tower of Seveneh even unto the border of Ethiopia..." is the same as mine.

Wait! I already said that didnt I.

Wouldnt you agree that your previously absolute, rock solid certainty as a basis for saying what did and didnt happen in a poorly defined geographical area is slipping away like sand through.........(oh never mind.)

Egypt is hardly a poorly-defined geographical area. Even ignorant 7th century Canaanites couldn't fuck that up.

Aswan (Syene) is a major city in the south. "Migdol" merely means "fortress".

You are simply playing games to try to get your fucking bible off the hook.

"I will make the land of Egypt desolate among devastated lands, and her cities will lie desolate forty years among ruined cities. And I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them through the countries. "

The idiot who wrote this shit is merely less dishonest than you.

It is when empires are fighting over territory.


Which country is this? I never saw them at London 2012 Olympics.
What's up with that? I saw China at the games. I saw Japan. I saw the US.

Nothing controversial about that statement.
Wanna talk about Nebuchadrezzar for a while?

You are falling further and further into intellectual dishonesty.

Truthfully, I expect nothing less from xtians when their fairy tales are under attack.... but you had best adjust to the fact that what you thought was truth is little more than bullshit.

Sorry, GC. Got preoccupied. Still want to take this apparent contradiction on?
