Compte and I made up. We’re good again. He’s a perennialist like me so he sees that there is good and bad in every religious tradition.
I explained that ~70 DSS forgeries that flooded the antiquities market around 2002 were what he was talking about, if not the many forgeries sold to archaeologists back in the 1940s-1950s by locals looking to capitalize on the opportunity.
He was right about those but I was right about the roughly 800+ scrolls and fragments found back in the day as being legit. We found our happy middle ground and approve of one another’s overall motivations.
Appreciate you both. 🫡

Love that you were able to figure it out
I do not even scratch the surface on these topics compared to both of you.
I am just a an idiot that likes to think humans are inherently loving and compassionate creatures that get corrupted by the environments around them. Nobody is perfect either
Religion has always been a tough one for me as I view it as the sole reason for much of the violence throughout history so I fully support you trying to fix that.
