Can confirm. Was Christian homeschooled. Learned nothing useful outside of the Bible and a weirdly curated list of other topics. Physics, but not biology. And exclusively America/Christian centric history.

Genesis 3:23 - With that Jehovah God expelled him from the garden of Eʹden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.

It was weird using Reddit Is Fun like I always do then it just suddenly stopped.
I can't create a community. I click the button and nothing happens. Any idea why? I'm trying to recreate a community from Reddit that really helped me when I was in a dark place.
