I've been to New Mexico. You're referring to settlements, villages. The Jews did not build settlements or villages in the Sinai. They moved, stopped for a time, and moved again. No permanent structures were built. Along the New Mexico roads far from the old Indian settlements we did not find evidence of Indian habitation. Should we have concluded then that no Indians ever lived there? Hardly.
New Mexico is a beautiful state, btw.

Tazemanian-devil,
Believe what you will. Last time I walked in a forest, or drove the open plains, the place was not filled with the bones of animals over 2000 years dead. Indian pottery was not laying around or easily dug up. Indian tents, moccasins, and clothing were also not to be found.
Deserts change, the sands do not remain stagnant. At one time the Sphinx was covered in sand up to its neck. Just because evidence is not found of a people spending 40 years, a miniscule amount of time, in the Sinai does not mean they were not there.
But as I said, believe what you will.

Giza saw decades of construction. Yet, were it not for the pyramids, temples, cities, and burial sites, permanent structures left behind, there would be no evidence that people were there. And you believe a nomadic people should have left something? Walk the sands of Arabia where for thousands of years people have traveled and think again.

nows the time to end tax exemptions for religious institutions.
I have five comments on the article quoted above.
1. The U.S. Constitution bars the government from establishing a state religion or preventing the free exercise of religion.
2. Therefore, no church should be forced to perform same-sex marriages if such a marriage is against their beliefs.
3. Christians should not expect Caesar to abide by their beliefs and should refrain from attempting to deny the LGBT community their lawful civil rights. Separation of church and state is an established rule in the U.S.
4. Determining which church or church activity merits IRS tax exemption is difficult and risks the integrity of the church/state divide.
5. Whereas, taxing the real estate holdings of all churches and charitable institutions would be much simpler and would in fairness contribute to the expenses of the local community which bears the burden of providing services to all in the community including churches and charitable institutions.

"do you believe god is all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving?
God is all-powerful. God loves those who love. God is all knowing in those things he wants to be all knowing in. Why should God care whether an amoeba exists or not?
That is foolish thinking.

I agree. But few here would see it.

Cofty,
Where was God in Auschwitz?
With the Jews in Auschwitz.

Cofty, God does not alleviate persecution. He makes a way out but he does not take it away.
