    I’ve been reading through the old stories for the first time in my life, and in my view, you can only read them through the lens of a series of allegorical lessons intended to warn about consequences that do take place in the real world, and those consequences can be beyond lethal.

    History will wipe your entire bloodline out if you make bad enough mistakes. Ask the Hitlers.

      That’s the way they were taught to me, but I’m starting to think I was pretty lucky with my schools/parish. There was no sex ed though so not that lucky.

      If I run into someone actually named Hitler, he’s probably not related to Adolf, but wishes he was…

        I’m thinking they might not wish they were related to Adolf, but might have some similar ideas about what to do to their parents for giving them such a damned name.
