Tbh I prefer your works on things that don’t specifically revolve around the historicity of Jesus as I think your philosophical positions are much more enlightening.

Either way, I will be purchasing this book in support of your ongoing work.

Correct. The theorists propose architectural examples exist, but per the linked discussions here, they are confusing pineapples with pinecones.

Good catch. Fixed.

They are now (pineapple, and mango, production has spread to nearly every continent now). But not then.

PS These are even smaller, but just to give an idea of possible variety in size.

Some pineapples are small. Like most domesticated food plants, the wild source had much smaller fruits.

Not only that, but you can readily buy mini-pineapples like in the mosaic — here in Europe anyway. They taste even sweeter and you can eat the core without removing it. I believe they’re more seasonal than large pineapples, presumably meaning they aren’t imported from all over the planet.

I think there may be a typo in the sentence, “Cotton was mostly imported but some studies indicate cultivation was beginning in North Africa, which was led arid then.” Should it be, “…which was less arid then.”?

Amongst all the decorations of ancient architecture — acanthus and palm leaves on capitals, “egg and dart”, etc — as far as I know, the pineapple never appears once. If they had known of it, this seems to me somewhat unlikely.

The only relevant metric for this conversation is:

Are there countries that are (1) officially atheist and (2) murder lots of people and (3) do so because of their atheism (and not for some other reason).

So the question is: are those countries (only those, not others) rare both (1) now and (2) throughout history.

If the answer is “yes” then you agree with me. We’re done. You can go.

If the answee is “no” then you need to present evidence that those countries (only those, not others) are commonplace either (1) now or (2) throughout history.

Everything else is a waste of time. So stop spinning yarn. Respond to the only relevant question.
