Since the fig was 'out of season' only an ignoramus would expect to find fruit.
Didn't Jesus help his Dad create these trees? He should have known better!
Why didn't the original author know any better, in your opinion? Why have the story of Jesus cursing a fig tree for no fruit and also state that it wasn't the season for fruit?
For the same reason the authors of the books of the Bible have taking snakes, talking donkeys, misinterpret OT passages, have Jesus riding on both a foal and an ass, and didn't know what pi was.
They were goddamn duckfucking idiots.
Re: pi, apparently you don't know of significant figures either? Is that sufficient excuse to call you a goddamn duckfucking idiot now? (NOTE: that is not me calling you that, it's me asking whether it's sufficient reason. If you think it isn't, you should reconsider your own use of such terminology.)
