Bible is like the Constitution. Some people don’t read it.
People only read what they want to take out of anything. Scientific reports, government policies, laws, philosophical essays, books, etc.
Saw it happen all the time. I use to work at the court house that was open to serve the public. We had at least 2 different signs that said “We are not City Hall. We do not do driver’s license, birth certificates, passports, etc…” Without fail, people would walk in and still ask about City Hall Services. People looked at the sign and saw Driver’s License, assumed that’s what we did.
I have a working theory that billionaires also don’t really understand money and numbers.
People don’t understand the difference between a million and a billion until they can visaully see the difference. As someone else pointed out, $5 million is 0.5% of their wealth. It’s pocket change for a billionaire. However, billionaires are acting like it’s going to break the bank.
Or billionaries just love to hoard their wealth to make their imaginary numbers go up.
