Reply to comment by Dalisca in TIL the milky way was named as such because of Hera's breaskmilk...An infant Hercules tried to nurse from her, and she threw him off. Allowing some milk to splash and creating the galaxy and all its stars... by Themakia
Absolutely, it's aggressive, and even people who don't believe in angels could find it off-putting. But let's be honest...the comment isn't any less true just because it's arrogant.
There's this NFL behind-the-scenes show called Hard Knocks and one year a player on the featured team revealed that he actually believes in mermaids. Here in America he was roundly mocked and ridiculed, and it occurred to me that given the religious makeup of this country, a massive portion of those pointing and laughing at this guy were people who believe in literal Christian hell.
This TIL reminded me of the arrogance of those people, and as the Gospel of Matthew tells us, violence arrogance begets violence arrogance.
