Wish they went with this design instead. The scene shows the waters of the Red Sea drowning Ramesses and his army after Moses and the Hebrews made it across to Israel. Also featured is the Pillar of Fire, showing that Moses acted under the command of God.

Yeah, Democrats would have an issue with it.

That motto is also on Thomas Jefferson’s personal seal. I wonder who championed it first.

When you type “magical thinking” you mean like ...
.... man made climate change crisis?
.... white man evil and bad?
.... socialism works?
.... little 100 pound women can take karate class, don cape, and beat up a half dozen special ops (white) bad guys?
..... Russian Collusion?
..... every good (partnered) couple in America votes progressive, is interracial and has gay or gender non-specific kids?
.... or just about everything CNN and MSNBC reports?
Which “magical thinking” were you referring to?
Shall we go on?

I didn't study in a seminary. Nice derail attempt though.

Just goes to show you he was a globalist that supported Israel
ETA: is there any proof for the Red Sea incident? I feel like they exaggerate the stories about their history

. . . technically Moses didn't do the drowning. That was done by a much higher power and no (me know) seminary either.

Some scholars think it was actually the Reed Sea, which was shallow enough for sustained winds to clear a path. But it still would have been divine intervention.
(Assuming you were serious about the question.)
