I got that impression from this part of your comment

that's where the collection plate likely originates from.

The idea of donating in church or donating to a spiritual leader is waaaaaaaay older and recorded

Christian religions flow the teachings of Jesus who followed/was aware of/modified the teachings of Judaism, which already had centuries of tithing already established. Dude didn't invent it.

Tithing is in the old testament. It's from a long time before Señor Christ.

Have you ever heard the expression/joke:

There's no stupid questions, except that one?

I take it that way. And mods can only work so fast, like others have said.

For what it's worth, I think you had an interesting question in the other thread and most of the replies were overall either unhelpful, dumb in-and-of-themselves, or aggressive in the way that shows a person is just angry cause they can't answer for their own beliefs in a good way and they know it

Given the community it was posted in, I assumed good faith. A quick Google of the terms used seemed to point to either someone taking theory too far or I was really missing something.

You can think all you want bud, but you're not approaching the problem correctly. To get to that low level you gotta get more specific. Also, could just use Google

The answer is that people of any demographic are not homogeneous and will have different beliefs and values. Your question is too high level to go any deeper than that. The rest of the nonsense you're couching it behind is useless. People are people. Sonder.

I think you've got that backwards. "People are different and think different things" is the constant and the rest of what's you're drilling into is an attempt to discover the pattern in it.

So let's go Socratic: why are you asking this?

As a layman who had to look up half that bullshit, I think you're coming across something much simpler that cant and shouldn't be solved by one of your theorems: people are different and think different things. With beliefs, there are many truths.

What do you mean by "independent"?

1 petabit is 125000 gigabytes. The article is confusing bytes (B) with bits (b). Doesn't bode well for accuracy.

Yeah, I believe the phrase is short for the weather:

What's the weather doing?

It is raining.
