Anyway, it's evidence that for a lot of people, Jews are either supporting characters or pixies, and do not need to be considered.

I don't like it, but I understand why Christians absolutely refuse to stop saying Pharisee the way they do, despite it being ahistoric and antisemitic.

For believers, it's the word of God, and they refuse to interrogate that. For atheists of a Christian background, it's fiction, so who cares?

Well, it's not just bodily autonomy stuff, or we would have mass movements against braces and tonsilectomies. There's a lot of cultural baggage and politics-of-disgust stuff going on as well.

You're retrojecting later dogma into the story. Original sin wasn't a Christian concept until the 4th century.
