Christian origins in Saudi Arabia, not Israel?

; Ashley Wells, Wisdom Quarterly

There is an "a-ha" feeling from watching truth revealed. When we believe something our entire lives then see it, it is a wonderful feeling. No person is completely good or completely bad, for no such person would be here. Karma would have taken that person elsewhere. Earth is no one's home but only a temporary residence, a prison or reform school where we learn to be compassionate or fail to learn. Every plane teaches the same thing in a sense, yet we are always free to choose our deeds. The Bible is said to be a book of truth, but what have fundamentalist Christians and Zionists done with it?

Assuming it is true, why not follow its clues and see what it says for itself? Why would we rather listen to spin? The Bible is polytheistic: It speaks of many authoritarian extraterrestrial visitors or "sky gods" (such as the Elohim), who refer to themselves in the plural. Yet the first thing we are told it teaches is monotheism. It gives clues to ancient locations, but they are politically inconvenient. So Western archeologists and Israeli nationalists massage the evidence. Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Mesopotamia, Sumeria, India, where did these stories take place?
