1 in 4 Maui children 'likely' missing from school as classes resume. Could be up to a thousand children burned alive because Democrats were too incompetent to sound a fire siren and had a water god worshipping diversity hire.

Believe it or not there was a very strong motivation in the first 3 centuries to add such a statement. Marcion was teaching that the Old Testament and Jewish God are the demiurge and different from the Father, and he was quite successful. For whatever reason this ENRAGED the church fathers to the point where they blamed EVERYTHING on Marcion, even though to me his views clearly look like nothing more than an understandably misguided understanding of the Old Testament. People STILL struggle with the Old Testament for all the same reasons, and it's not hard to see why. From everything I've gathered Marcion was probably an honest person who took the rampant corruption of the church and its persecution of him as proof that he was right. They even tampered with the New Testament and added a bunch of stuff to it, and then blamed him for supposedly removing it. He became the scapegoat, they called him the literal child of the devil for centuries, and Martin Luther is the only one who has ever been considered a worse heretic than him.
