        Nah that nonsense is no worse than the nonsense actually in the Bible, but technically we can’t call Christians out on something that isn’t considered canonical by Christians IMO.

        But that wasn’t the point I was trying to make, I merely corrected someone from the false belief that it was actually from the Bible.

        It is still usable as something people would gladly accept as being from the Bible, because the Bible is full of factually false claims too. It shows that nothing is too stupid to be in the Bible.

      There are lots of non-Ethiopian Christians who don’t really know anything about the Bible and accept quotes from the Book of Enoch as if it were part of the mainstream Christian canon. Keep the faithful ignorant and that’s what you get.

        Still we can’t really use it as calling out Christians IMO, when it’s not from the Bible, and Christians don’t consider it canonical.
        It’s still funny though, and the Bible is just as stupid.

        But I was merely pointing out it’s not actually from the Bible, which was falsely believed by the poster I responded to.
