Thank you Dr. Yii-Jan Lin for a wonderful, informative talk. When Dr. Ehrman wants to take a break again, please come back!!! Megan…please have her back!!!
Growing up Mormon - the focus on the U.S. as the New Jerusalem was a central part of our identity. Specifically, Independence Missouri as the center point. Thank you for a fascinating discussion about how this idea has impacted immigration and American exceptionalism.
I was hoping Mormonism would be mentioned. Also good to note that according to Mormon theology, at least in the book of Mormon, nobody comes to America unless brought by God
Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.
Agreed rampant greed is destroying this nation. Craziness makes them think they are chosen. They will kill others saying it is in service of God? Because of their hatred their hearts will wax cold do they will believe the lie.
You might be talking from a point of privilege and you might not see it. Different circumstances make people ‘illegal immigrants’. The situation is not as straightforward as you might imagine

There's more than average theological nonsense in Mormonism

"Immigration and Apocalypse: How the Book of Revelation Shaped American Immigration" -- It was in the guest intro after the opening sequence.
Immigration and Apocalypse: How the Book of Revelation Shaped American Immigration - Yii-Jan Lin
I'm still waiting for Melania Trump to learn how to speak English.
not the first comment
Really?? Nah! Think about it, it fits well with Babylon in the apocalypse book. Cmon!😂 look at all the drugs, gun violence, homelessness, etc.
That fits about 75% of the world 😂
Also, just a reminder that we found evidence of marijuana in archeological excavations of israelite temples.
When has human history been any different?
I once operated on myself to remove some tumors and ulcers...without drugs... So it does happen @@lauriehermundson5593

According to Mormons, some parts of the bible were found in America😏😁🙈
My grandparents were immigrants -- legal immigrants. And I am all in favor of legal immigration. But NOT illegal immigration.
The first immigrants weren't invited; arriving with disease and mayhem and murder
You might be talking from a point of privilege and you might not see it. Different circumstances make people ‘illegal immigrants’. The situation is not as straightforward as you might imagine
So would you like my friend, who is an illegal immigrant and also happens to be a pastor, to be deported, along with his family?
Or you could be like all of Trump's wives and bang a billionaire and become a citizen that way.
Mass immigration propaganda.
