Haters of the truth
Acts 13:41
[41]Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
Why will majority of people not accept the actual truth? Simple. Bias. Today's so-called truth is merely uneducated guesses based on ridiculous speculation about artifacts, misread/misinterpreted literature, and ego surrounded by pointless education. Here are a few definitions to be continually mindful of when you claim to know anything. These are exactly what all so-called religions, history curriculums, and today's false education is based on.
