Oh, I agree. But then I don’t believe in a divine plan that existed throughout eternity but just happened to be dropped into history at a particular backwater locale after hundreds of millennia of human pre-history.
Interesting that you agree it wasn’t a thing, despite what Genesis claims.
Lol not very many mainline Christians take Genesis as literal, historical fact...
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
