"And then we get this wonderful and engaging story line:_____________________________"

You're not reading all the interesting versions of the story. If you checked with biblegateway.com
you would find over 20 different translations of that middle east travel guide you are deriding.

There was probably some interesting bars and brothels that Moses left unpaid bills at. He only cursed because he was in the throes of late-stage syphilis and suffering from dementia.

Try this on for variety!

New American Standard Bible
They journeyed from Dophkah and camped at Alush.

GOD'S WORD® Translation
They moved from Dophkah and set up camp at Alush.

King James Bible
And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

Surely tribal behavior at its best ....we don't live communally in trees any longer we have seperate trees to live in & can shit without having to live with the stink of others in our noses ( the flushing toilet was a gift to queen victoria i think , ingenuous that little crook in the line by one seeking favor of the queen...she gave him much land etc )

were they as rigid regards their sexual positions as they were fixed on their interpretations of the posititons of the stars ? Shit , it was a fucked up & fixed dream for all of them then , only the Gods could be that free ...

Only the gods could traverse freely across the heavens, we poor humans at the whims of our priests were subject & doomed to the will of that tunnel vision that lasted 3-4000yrs....

Men could dream tho ...& not that dumb after all for some 15K yrs we did agree to all worship the Godess...well if she lookerd like Emma Golsman or Ayn Rand just fine with me . Spirited gals , great minds etc.

There's some dimension so complex & so simple within a matrix that is so vast within this infinite setting ...we have seen this all before , we have done this all before . It is the substance of the mind , what a creation the human brain. If we could only use it . It will take time ...

repent solon ! Before its too late !

lol
