Subtoot/hot take; about holy books
What makes these things holy is that they’re human; f’rex the Pentateuch gives us a glimpse into Bronze Age people where the Quran tells you a little of what it must’ve been like to live in the 600s. That these works tend to be simultaneously enlightened and dismal is humbling. There wasn’t a mythical perfect age including ours where humanity Got It, now and forevermore, but I truly consider it divine that all these indicate that we’ve always put in a good try.
