you should try reading zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance

but there is no way to know what the "intended" interpretation is. and often interpretations beyond the original creator's intent are still valuable and valid
- maybe there is no "wrong" way to interpret the text
- maybe your view of the response as only immediate is too limiting
- just playing devil's advocate here since you made some pretty big assumptions
this isn't limited to religious people
"they" uses the same number of characters as "s/he" and flows more naturally
it's had offline navigation for years now
but it's not just about that
google maps can do that too though
did you just not read my comment? all I said is there is more to religion than an origin story eg beliefs, holy texts (like the talmud which isn't about origination), and rituals/practices. lighting the candles on shabbat isn't about where we came from
it's not really about the motorcycle maintenance
