But living through it is still much different than reading about it. People only record the most significant things in life. If you wrote an auto-biography, you wouldn’t have every detail of your life, would you? Experience is much different than simply reading about things. I’m not saying reading is completely ineffective, we have many people who are doomed to repeat historic mistakes because people either twist history or simply skip stuff they don’t like, and they’re at a loss for it. I’m just saying it’s not the same, and we shouldn’t act like we know so much just because we’re in a time where we have research available. Heck, we’re at a point of arguing whether Cleopatra was black or not (although Egyptologists and people who specialize in finding things specifically about her say she was not black, but since when has Hollywood been accurate about race).
That’s good, because we may not have it forever.
If a God existed, could He possibly not know everything about His own creation?
You missed the point here. I was saying that parents don’t let their children have whatever they want in life because children don’t know anything, and that’s how a God would be with us. I wasn’t arguing whether God exists here.
That’s an American thing specifically. Leave the country and you’ll find a lot of Christians have no ability in law and have to hide sometimes. Ik of stuff i won’t say online bc it would endanger people I either know or know of. And for all these left wingers defending Islam, it is not kind to progressive identities. Saudi Arabia will kill your behind for being gay (and Christian too btw). Even in “Christian-run” America, it’s not that harsh. Also I wouldn’t argue many of the laws passed are specifically because of the Bible, no matter what the media says about it. Idc if God exists or not, child murder is extremely effed up. Biological men competing with biological women is not fair, and is an easy out if you can’t beat men. You can become an icon for inclusivity and dominate sports at the same time; so many people will look up to you, even though you aren’t that great at your profession. Whether the Bible says something about this or not, it’s messed up (it doesn’t btw). The only thing that wouldn’t “harm others” per se, is gay s*x. But then again, not many people are trying to ban that.
