Hmmmmmm, well that certainly tracks with human behavior. Kind of like how there was a meme that the earth was flat. Nobody actually BELIEVED it. It was just a funny joke to explain why sailors would come in, and then sail off, and you'd never see that sailor again.

So, ha ha, funny meme, earth is flat.

Then hundreds of years later, people discovered that people "used to believe the earth was flat". Wow. What stupid people those guys were hundreds of years ago, huh?

Then it gets discovered nobody ACTUALLY believed that.....but they do NOW. You know. Currently. AFTER we've been to space, and photographed the planet while not currently being on said planet. Only AFTER space travel did people revisit the earth being flat, and seriously unironically believe that.

So I can't believe ANY of the bullshit IN the bible. But I can totally believe it began as a meme, got out of control, and now it's just "fact" to some people.

...........and by "some people" I mean gullible morons.

Ah, I read incorrectly my mistake. Still fake as fuck tho.

Threw it into some shitty online ai translator since google translate doesn’t support aramaic and used the same one to translate it back. Here’s what it spit out (no formatting because fuck you I don’t want to)

Once someone told me, the world is destined to turn, I am not wise in stone tools. She appeared foolish, with her finger pointing to a 'L' on her forehead. Yet the years begin to come and do not halt, consumed by rules while I run from the land. It makes no sense to live in pleasure, how can a wise man emerge when your head is in folly? There is so much to do, so much to see; what is wrong with traveling inner paths? You won’t know if you don’t go, you won’t shine if you don’t take care. Be now, you are a star. Sit in your game, go play. Be now, you are a rock star. Bring the show, receive a reward. All that glistens is gold, only falling stars shatter the form. It is a fine place, and they say it will cool down; you are now wrapped, wait until you mature. But the mighty meteors think otherwise, according to the hole in the dualistic picture. The ice we slide on is very thin, the waters are enclosing and you must swim. My world is on fire; what about you? Thus, I love it and do not tire. Be now, you are a star. Sit in your game, go play. Be now, you are a rock star. Bring the show, receive a reward. All that glistens is gold, only falling stars shatter the form. (Go to the moon, go, go) (Go to the moon, go, go) (Go to the moon) (Go, go, go to the moon). Be now, you are a star. Sit in your game, go play. Be now, you are a rock star. Bring the show, receive a reward. And all that glistens is gold, only falling stars; someone once asked, 'Can you leave me a bit of coal? I need to escape this place.' I said, 'Yes, what an idea, I need a bit of fuel.' And we all need a little change. So, the years begin to come and do not stop, consumed by rules while I run from the land. It makes no sense to live in pleasure, how can a wise man emerge when your head is in folly? There is so much to do, so much to see; what is wrong with traveling inner paths? You won’t know if you don’t go (go!) you won’t shine if not...

This is honestly just as good as the original post

Ok let's do it for real then:

Someone once said to me, "I have to go to the capital of the house, and please do not be wise for the vessel of the Beita. She said, "Wise, with a finger and a ram." B'Tselem 'L' on her forehead.

Well, the years draw and don't always stop
Full of rules and I'm on the road
There is no point in living without joy
Your intelligence is wise, but your head is weakened
There's a lot to do, a lot to see
What's wrong with taking the hidden alleys?
You won't know if you won't go
You will not shine if you do not shine

Oh now, you are a star god
Take the game, prepare a player
Oh now, you're a rock star
Make a show, take a salary

I wonder if those stories even matter, like they are from a culture so far removed from us (over 2 thousand years) that the lessons probably shouldn't be hard interpreted.

We wouldn't like people to have differing opinions about stuff? Everyone should believe what we believe, think what we think. /s

I have no idea what point you're trying to make, or what I wrote to provoke your angry tone.

All I'm saying is that (for example) if Moses supposedly wrote the first five books of the Bible and he lived circa 1200-1500 BC (various estimates mentioned by Wikipedia), but the oldest surviving copy of those books is from 100 BC, that's 1000+ years of potential change that we have no way of knowing about.

"So Steve, what did you think of my poetry?"

"Oh, ehrm, well Dr. Weird, it was uh..."

"Haha, you fool, it was bad on purpose, and I'll waste so many people's time with it at the open mic next week. mwawhaha"

It do be like that, fellow star god.

Captain Aggravated

Yeah remember the "disregard wenches, acquire currency" meme? It's just that.

Right in the feels.

angry tone.

Sarcastic tone, you're reading what I wrote in an angry voice. Try reading with a happy voice.

that’s 1000+ years of potential change that we have no way of disproving.

What if that's not the point?

"Oh, but it's not exactly what that person said!"

So what? Taking sentences out of context is bad interpretation anyway, especially if we aren't reading the original language with the original cultural context (again, which was over 2 thousand years ago).

You're arguing for the letter of the law, I'm arguing for the spirit.

Yeah I tried that but the separate quote blocks looked weird so I undid it

This is way better than the OP.
