TIL although the idea that Adam and Eve ate an apple is common, the Book of Genesis never mentions the identity of the forbidden fruit. - eviltoast

    Insulting me won’t change the fact that each of those religions was derived from the previous one in a linear fashion.

    In fact, you have been insulting me this entire time. You claimed that I was doing some sort of colonialist superiority thing. As I said, that only makes sense if you are talking about Muslim superiority and Islamic colonialism, something that hasn’t happened in a very long time. I’m not Muslim and I also don’t think there is anything superior about any of those other Middle Eastern religions that ended up spreading around the world.

    I just don’t know why you think oral history and folklore being passed down from generation to generation doesn’t happen when it’s the only way we have left to learn about many indigenous peoples’ histories. Sometimes by getting them from multiple groups and figuring out what truths can be gleaned by the similarities.
