Are they like Children of the Corn?
It's a catch-all term for those who follow religions that clown Abraham is responsible for.
I have something of a theory on that......
We take for granted the ability to read. Most of us are more literate than many " scholars" would have been 1000+ years ago.
You don' t have to travel far back in history to find a time when the vast majority of people couldn' t read. Some entire civilizations were illiterate.
Remember the early, early days of the internet? Not a small number of people thought that pretty much everything on the internet was true.
I suspect that people who were first exposed to writing were not much different. If it was in a book - it must be true, right?
And the religious? Still believe that shit......
So " people of the book"? = ignorant rubes who will believe any stupid shit you write down.
And if they read this post?
Their heads explode.
