The Promised Land was originally God's idea.

God was originally the idea of bossy humans, though.

The Promised Land was originally God's idea.

Strangely, it was the idea of every God that every religion has ever conceived of.

You're right. The Dutch, and the Spanish, and the English, and the Romans were all totally content with what they had.

Not to defend the horrifying Spanish Empire, but it didn't contain genocide of natives as a tenet. It enslaved people, spread diseases and wars, and murdered millions upon millions, but go to Peru and you'll see that at least it didn't reach the goal of extermination to the degree that happened in North America.

They make way funnier claims like the garden of eden was in Missouri
