Info dumps by nerdy folks who are passionate about stuff are my favorite!! ☺️☺️
That's super interesting, thanks for explaining! And yeah that's a pretty central contradiction, I can see how that'd drive a lot of theological debate/discussion. Even within the public consciousness it feels like you have the two versions of the christian god, the "turn the other cheek" and the wrathful god you must learn to fear.
I get not wanting to accept the compliment, there's often a really big difference between a true expert within a field of study and someone with "expertise" in the more coloquial sense of someone having significantly more specialized knowledge than a layman. Regardless, you know a lot more than me or most other folks in this thread and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and perspective with us ☺️
Anytime! Like I said, it's a passion/hobby of mine, so I like to delve into it. Religion is so fascinating and it's cool how so many religions have emphasis on peace and love that gets distorted by humans. I'm saddened by some of the comments in the thread, as it's a large indication of people who refuse to be curious and learn, and would rather stay ignorant. Cheers!
