The Bible is Hard.

In Chemistry you don't need to read the giants of the past, because that was then and we now have moved on. In History you can settal on one event or time and become an expert in just that one topic and know that one topic in whole and with much authority and accuracy. Economics you learn the principles then everything is built on those principles, the rest of the study is gravy. Math never changes, two in these gerneration is two a thousand gerneration beyond it no matter the learnes preceptions.
If you lived in Beruit Lebanon during the mid-1940s, you never saw a cite that you never saw in your life, but was extremely common to your ansecters. It was always there. You could just never see it. You have an intellicual understand of it's existance but you never saw it and they might as well not exist. When the Muslims bomb Beruit's power, the lights in the city went out and you could see the stars. Today we live in the Post-industerial revolution. Post-agirucultural. We live with Neo-classical thought. We live with concepts like freedom. None of live under a king. None of us seen slavery. Pedophilia is actually looked down on. Where there is only a hand full of religions. We live were we do not know the name, muchless rely on our neighbor. We live without needing to avenge our distiant relatives death, because if we don't the murder walks free. We have police which is an extremely recent invention.

I have not mentions the self referal understand that the writers assume you know. The Laws and external rules that assume you understand.
Do I long for the past, no. Do I want to take a hammer to the machines, no.
