I know I sometimes overestimate what people in general know, but I assume, given the overwhelmingly christian character of the entirety of the Western world, that people are aware of the general fundamentals of how christianity works
again you'd be amazed
ok but like
who are these people then?
what do they think about the world?
people who are raised in atheistic households--at least around here--tend to not know the first thing
like they know that Jesus existed and was important but that's about all, in my experience.
I was raised in a household where the Christian aspect of my family was almost entirely cultural—my mom considers herself a lapsed pagan—and while the Jewish side is arguably more spiritual, my dad's family is Reform and left the synagogue decades ago when they wouldn't sit shiva for my great-aunt.

it is good in these trying times to be reminded that people can learn things and change their minds after saying something dumb
Bill Nye is a good dude and I am glad that he's seriously come around on this because we need more scientists who seriously understand philosophy and, more importantly, actively demonstrate intellectual curiosity in general.
The best episode of Arthur was the the one with an absurdly long name where they make a music festival in the basement.
When I was a kid, that episode almost never aired, and when it did, you called all your friends and told them to watch it, because this was before youtube.
Nothing on Television ever got me as hyped as seeing "Double Tibble Trouble" come on, because that was the episode that came before the aforementioned greatness.
Had the intermountain west had a coherent PBS Kids television schedule when I was young, it wouldn't have been such an experience.
my favorite episode is the one where arthur imagines buster returning from a space mission, and he's a huge twisted mutant with seven arms, because i'm genuinely not sure if i imagined it
The one that got to me was the episode where Arthur loses a library book. There were some messed up dreams in that one, in addition to the idea of never being allowed to check out a book again.
Heck, a lot of the dreams in Arthur were legitimately scary.

I loved Arthur as a kid, so much that I literally tried to use magic to turn myself into Arthur.
