      If I had a time machine I would love to grab some ancient Hebrew storyteller and show him the utter chaos he is going to unleash. Oh you thought you were just going to tell some stories to kids about Adam for a few shekles? Check this out. Entire wars have been fought over this.

      Imagine the horror of knowing that because you took a breath in your story, it became a pause when written down, which changed the meaning of a verse, which changed another verse, which caused a movement, which caused a counter-movement. And a million people died or were tortured.

        Feels like a shittier wheel of time. They broke the world and now we all had to live through an age of madness feeling ignorant of ancient wonders as New cults are born and repeat the madness

      In the end, everything considered, yes.

      And it wouldn’t be the last pagan god or rite they adopted. What do you think where Beelzebub comes from? Or Moloch? Or even JHWH?
