Ikr, his argument was 'oh it wasn't as severe in those days' (total horseshit) also something about pre-modern man seeing the world-universe as perfect, not just sacred, and by extension the human form. Idk about that neither, in those days pretty much just existing and being born was a sin, there's a gap between whatever he was arguing and real world shaping things imo. Whatever, too much religious exhilaration in an academic setting poisoned him.
He's like...sorta kinda right about the human form stuf, man being made in the image of God means that God would be the hottest man is the quick version, but a theology major is pretty likely to have a pretty eack view of history, cause that does play into things but is far from an exclusive factor. It's not like...totally wrong but is so reductive that it's worse than just being wrong cause it requires a long multidisciplinary explanation that I'm too about to make supper for to deal with

Probably was, in those days I knew even less about sociology and things than I do now. Remember hearing the form of man in an elective I took.
