Many people are objecting to the elimination of fact-checkers on Meta platforms.  I've found that community notes on X are effective and are generally free from political bias.

The story of Jonah is clearly about God's limitless mercy. Nevertheless, believers embrace the literal interpretation of the swallowing by the fish. An expository device appropriate for belief thousands of years ago is superstition today.

The state of present society is analogous to an egg.

"As soon as the new life begins in that egg, the condition inside the egg changes radically.  The alteration of the contents of the egg, which was food for people, is not pleasing anymore.  But the new life thrives on the altered contents until the shell breaks and a new creature is born.  All that is left of the egg is a broken shell. This is very much the state of the world today.

The present-day social calamities are increasing at an alarming rate...we clearly hear the death-pangs of the old order and see a new world community in the embryonic form growing within the womb of the old."  ~Dr. Darius Shahrokh, 'Windows to the Past'
