An Old mystery ...

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Absolutely.  I mean, to the degree that a Christian (or a Jew or a
Muslim, or, I guess, a modern worshipper of the Babylonian gods)
believes that a global flood literally occurred to wipe out the
demi-human spawn of literal, physical demons, yes.

I imagine that that's a small percentage of the world's Christians, however.
