It would be better yet if it disbanded. Look, the Jews never wandered the 260 miles of the Sinai desert for 40 years -- that didn't happen. The daily progress was 35 feet, and that's about ten paces -- it was a longer trip to the latrine than ten paces. Nowadays tourist boats pull up to Cairo, the tourists pile into buses and drive three hours to Mt Sinai, stopping frequently for checkpoints and roadblocks, gawk at the original burning bush pointed out to them by the guide, then are hustled back to Cairo, Egypt for supper.

This stuff never happened. The Earth wasn't created in 6 days. Didn't happen. God didn't come down and tell the Serial Killer Moses detailed instructions for selling your daughters as sex slave concubines (Exodus 21:7-11), or exactly down to the penny how much a father charges a rapist caught in the act of raping his daughter has to pay him to not be stoned to death for his crime (Deuteronomy 22:28). It never happened. It is not true.

Grow up already.
