And there’s the beauty: it does both!

Probably one just making a joke. If you look up, you’ll see it flying way above your head.

I think they mean: if a Nazi is wearing the coat, it is a Nazi coat.

That may be a righteous conviction, but it doesn’t make the document “history” by virtue of no one knowing the events of prehistoric times of, say, Genesis. For instance, would you consider the Iliad or the Odyssey to be history? They have vast historical and cultural importance, but the stories as read do not provide a factual history of events as we understand them.

I’m just trying to convey why people people disagree with you and what position you are hopefully trying to take is they contain historic importance but do not themselves contain a “history” any more than other religious texts or even an X-men comic may.

If I’m understanding your position, I think a better way to word your answer may have been “as an historic text to provide context for religious beliefs”. “History” comes with the implication that it is truthful to events in the past, not that it was just “written before right now, even if it’s fiction”.

Wow. This is my hometown, and I’m proud they are willing to stand their ground. The librarian in the children section that I used to frequent was wonderful, but I’m sure she passed away a while ago.

I think it generally goes “my dick may be only 6 inches but it smells like a foot”. To establish the measurement units.

This isn’t reddit, so shame him.

Would you say it was a… Shitpost?

I mean, it is intended to be how averages work for sufficiently large sample sizes. That’s the intent of a bell curve. For 800 people, maybe not, but for 8 billion? Probably extremely close.
