tt400 wroteI don't think the list was stating as fact that God planted the cedar trees in Lebanon.
I didn't say that either, so I don't know what you're talking about.
tt400 wroteI think you were supposed to understand the fact as being the symbolism of the cedar tree, what is said about it, its mythology in history, etc.
And how does that constitute a fact? You're just stating your own opinion on how to interpret someone else's selfish subjective interpretation of a myth,
which is completely irrelevant because it's still not a fact. Get your facts straight is all I have to say.
tt400 wroteDon't be so anal about the list, buddy.
I don't really care about the list. In my opinion, it's the people's reactions to it that are far more revealing and amusing. I don't know about anyone else here, but between a cheerleader and a skeptic, I'd always pick to be the latter. Having said that, if you (or OP) were seriously expecting some sort of impulsive nationalistic cheer, then I must say that I'm glad to have disappointed you.
