Official explanation: The Holy Spirit narrated to the author. You mean the four authors who all wrote the same story but slightly different? Holy spirit talking to people must have been common back then. Strange how it just stopped.

My favorite bit of Christian lore is the time that predestination became a widespread belief. People cursed god and the church and sinned 30x harder, recognizing that if they did it, they were always meant to. In the absence of choice, people found hedonism not just agreeable but compulsory. Then the church solved that issue by telling people that they could actually get into heaven by paying. People got so pissed off that a sect splintered off, and I think that how we got Protestants. Someone please tell me how many different events I erroneously mixed together.

Some of the other writings that didn’t make the cut for the canonical bible are wild.

“Oh, just one more thing… you can’t get married. No, He didn’t say that, but we’re inspired by the Magic Bird, so mote it be.” Didn’t that one come later because certain members of the clergy were having kids and functionally turning their positions into hereditary fiefdoms?

“This can be quite removed” What? I’m not sober so it’s very possible I’m just bring stupid and not understanding the words, they just make no sense to me at the moment and I can’t figure out what you were trying to write (in the case of me not being dumb right now).
