It always looked so weird to me, like, who not just read the Bible like a proper book instead of having all of those numbering?

I guess it’s because it makes easy to find some specific line? But that is from an academic perspective instead of something you would put in a faith book?

When did that started and why they put all the numbering?

      It’s a fantasy story as old as written history, it’s just fun to know why people idealize it, where it came from, and what it really means.

      They were mostly old Greek instructions on how to farm and not die and shit. Wash yourself at daylight. Don’t eat shrimp or pork cause it’ll kill you. Don’t be wasteful with your harvest, you’ll need food in the winter.

      Add thousands of years into people blindly following these unhh… recommendations, and you get crazed fucks crying on their knees begging you not to be gay/abort/etc.
