@ianhecht listen hear me out— like I always knew “read the Bible” was a bigger ask than the people saying it realized but I think I even underestimated the absurdity— It makes me wonder about those people who talk about their “journey to faith” and how the read the Bible and found their way. Is it just like— meditating on abstract poetry? Did they think they really understood it all? did they just find a little part that they could prop up to mean what they needed?
