Seriously?
That’s all they are?
They’re often the thoughts and daily goings on of people in a list culture long gone.
They give us insights to their culture, their laws, and how they lived their lives.
Dismissing them as “squiggles” is an insult to those who came before us and those of us who are interested in these ancient peoples, as well as those who dedicate their lives learning about them.
Well, to be a theist in the modern age one has to become thoroughly accustomed to continuously insulting all of humanity, and in particular those who genuinely hold humanity in decent regard. So why should he be taken aback by the specific form of insult manifested in flippantly dismissing the works of man from time to time?
