Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?

It has happened before. Not on here, but on another forum.

Would you like to explain to me why you think I am being condescending?

Minimalist said some things to me and I responded to them by saying that no matter what he said about me that I still cared for him.

Why is this a problem for you?

If you can answer that, then I will answer your question.

It's a problem because it's completely clear you don't actually care, this is just another tool in your proselytizing arsenal; appearing benevolent. We've had folks like you around before, you know.

More importantly, it's a problem because the subtext is that you care for us in spite of our being filthy heathens. It's an "it's okay, you ass, I love you anyway because I'm like Jesus, whose grace and compassion you clearly can't understand." It's divine tone trolling!

Now answer my question. Dodgy
