It means he learned all the important bits you failed to learn.

Have you? Or do you just vomit up the talking points they drilled into you in cathy-lick school? Based on your comments around here, the latter is far more likely.

I've read it, dude. The whole thing. Not sure what else to tell you.

The 2 she-bears killing a bunch of kids after calling a prophet a baldy? That's one of the most striking stories in the Bible. It doesn't matter if you read it if you can't remember even the highlights. You might benefit from re-reading Second Kings. I recently have.

Incorrect, you're still clinging to the ill logic mentioned above.

Imagine if things didn't happen to serve the greater good.......what a shitty world that would be.

Our world bears a strong resemblance to that one, most of our progress has been in the last 200 years and with that progress we've managed to set our climate on a course to endanger all of it. The world is indistinguishable from a world where everything not caused by us is caused by the rest of nature, without the greater good of humanity in mind at all. We have to make our own greater good or we won't have it at all.

What if you were blind? Then you wouldn't be able to verify the sun's existence. You would just be taking people's word for it, that the sun exists.

We know some things are real because of the significant evidence for them. Without any evidence but hearsay, we should be cautious about what we accept as true. If I couldn't see or feel the sun, and people telling me about the sun had contradictory accounts of their experience of it, being skeptical about it and holding out for more evidence would be the reasonable approach.

All theists are blind, to reason.

What makes you think I'm blind to reason? Have I not been perfectly coherent in all of my responses thus far?

LOL, I'll give you a point for humor.
