Despite doubts surrounding the story of the Exodus being historical, the characteristics of manna, as described in the Bible, have sparked great interest among researchers and historians over the centuries. This has led to intense research and speculation to determine if manna truly existed and if it is a natural phenomenon that still occurs to this day.

Well, that rather makes the question as moot as "what did Alexander eat on his way to Australia". It didn't happen, it's like talking about what lembas bread really is.

I don't know what part of "myths" you don't understand. But if all you're going to do is come in here to argue, it won't be tolerated.

I don't understand the part where someone goes looking for a real world explanation for a facet of a myth, because there can never be an answer. I'm sorry if this statement offends you in some way, but if you'd rather not have people react to posts, making a public community is kind of a weird move.

There's a difference between constructive discussion and just saying "lol that wasn't real".

That's nice.
This is your warning.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well, that's certainly a way to react to someone disagreeing with the content of a post. Which is your prerogative as mod, but it's certainly not reflected in your sidebar.

Don't be argumentative doesn't need to be in the sidebar. If you don't like the comms theme you're more than welcome to not interact with anything in it.

Mana is a topic in multiple parts of the Jewish and Christian creation myths. Understanding what may or may not have been based on real events is well within the area of interest.

This is the longest I'll take on this type of conversation. In the future the comments will simply be deleted without "debate". Have a great day.
