  It was also a huge plot point of the Bible.

    But America wasn’t a thing or even an idea when the Bible was written.

    (I totally get what you are saying, though.)

      Not if you’re Mormon.

        Um. Ackshually 👆🤓 the Mormons are KJV only loyalists, so their Bible does indeed predate the USA.

        The Book of Mormon, however, does not (unless you’re Mormon, in which case you believe it was translated from the golden plates, engraved ~400AD and based on earlier plates which Mormon (the person) and his son Moroni found and compiled). Think of it more as an addition to, rather than replacement of, biblical canon.

        I will now remind the teacher that they did, indeed, forget to collect the homework. I have an appointment with a locker, after all.
