Why? How does it become meaningless?

Finally I cannot work out why everyone is so angry and heated up. Why are you?

Why?
It means the believe in the ten commandments are false. It means the entire idea behind the Jewish temple is false.

I hope I am being mature and discernment.

Why do you believe I am not.
You answered your own question when you said that you believe the bible is literally true. Your Christ compels you to look deeper.

Friend, I am neither angry nor heated-up. If anything, I am compassionate toward you.

I don't see anyone angry and hot. Frustrated perhaps with your lack of interest in what is demonstrably real and true, but whatever.

I'm certainly not. I'm cool as a cucumber. Too cool for school even.

Would you agree then, C4, that your stance is that the bible is literally true and reality is not?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Quote:If is like footprints in snow hey dissappear quickly. So trying to find out if people were camping in a desert 1000s of years ago I expect would be hard to do.

Funny how archaeologists can hone in on an Aurignacian ( 40-35,000 ypb) campsite then, isn't it?

You know, when you advance an Argument from Personal Incredulity all you make yourself do is look incredulous. We get that you cannot understand it. Leave the heavy thinking to people who do.

Humans cannot gather in large number without creating tons of garbage, and burials. Forgetting the history of the so-called 'exodus' period (at which Egypt was at the height of its power! with no interruption!) the plain fact is that your precious hebrews left no mark on the landscape.
