Nah all myths are abstract descriptions of systems and processes. They were never meant to be detailed.
The real madness is not updating these myths to today’s standards and taking everything that was written literally thousands of years ago as inarguably correct.
Any chance they reconsidered it at some point within the last 2000-ish years though?
You’re right, these numbers should be updated.
Since the world population increased from roughly 200 million people on earth at the time these texts were written to closely 8 billion today, that’s a roughly 40x increase in total population. So if we assume the same relative percentage, that’s gonna be 6 million people to be saved in total. xD
the other big difference is that the hurdle to sign up is slightly higher (you have to write 1 sentence of application to register an user account) and that keeps a lot of normies out, which is why the quality of discussion is slightly better (but only slightly).
and also fediverse has less ragebait because ragebait is given by big platforms to keep users on their site for longer, so there’s that advantage. less toxicity.
The thing that you’re missing is that christianity is a pretty brutal, cold-hearted thing. It was never meant to be about compassion and love. That’s just what they tell the children sothat they get onboard with it all.
It’s like, when you’re teaching maths to children and you present fractions using apples and pies, pretty harmless things. Years later, you can use more advanced maths (that are based on the basics of maths) to engineer weapons and heavy machinery, and it’s all based on the same maths. It’s not about being cute, it’s about maths, it’s more abstract than any of the applications.
