Iraqi forces say IS destroyed historic tomb of Jonah in Mosul

as "jonah" is just as much a bullshit story as the rest of that fucking book.  The bad news is that they did blow up an Assyrian shrine to some other made up god/goddess.

Before its destruction, the site included an Assyrian temple that is believed to have been built around 1300 B.C. It also hosted a mosque that was built about four centuries ago during the Ottoman Empire.

Sermed Alwan, an Iraqi archeologist and president of Mesopotamia Heritage Association, the graveyard site attributed to Prophet Jonah was built six centuries ago, although it has been disputed whether the tomb belongs to the storied figure.

I forget, other than living in a whale what the hell is Jonah suppose to have done?

It's an amazing bullshit story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonah

God again commands Jonah to visit Nineveh and prophesy to its inhabitants. This time he goes and enters the city, crying, "In forty days Nineveh shall be overthrown."

The problem is that they date this bullshit to Jeroboam II who died c 746 BC and Nineveh was not destroyed until 612.... so "god" fucked up quite badly there!

Seems like the First Commandment in action, Exodus 34:11-14 = https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=TLB

God killed* his family because Jonah was too good a man.

* Ok to be totally accurate god subcontracted the killing to satan.

Are you sure that it was Jonah's family and not Job's?
