Great write up brandon. I fully agree. Hopefully ppl can get thier eyes opened to the real truth and not any of the mainstream news. Ppl get so sucked in by the dummest stories true or made up.

It got me to thinking about our history books. How much misinformation is in them? Now thinking about all of this stuff didn’t freak me out or frighten me.

Also you realize that so much that we have been taught is not even important. Okay…I think I’m rambling now. I was actually going to delete this whole comment, but I’ll leave it. Maybe it will trigger some thoughts from you all!
Edited to add…here I am studying Psalms and Psa 55:1-23 fit pretty well with this topic.

I forgot to mention this - THIS is an amazing statement! There absolutely is nothing new under the sun. And as time passed on it kept growing and growing into what we have today. Imagine what tomorrow will bring!
