Once upon a time there was no writing and it took some time before some people started to make traditions out of it and even then not everyone knew how to read or write, at least not write but read maybe a little because of signage. People thought there was magic in the writing. Like runes for example. There is no magic to come out of these drawn shapes except for the information you can leave behind in its code for those that can read it can gain it's information.
Take Q for example. It is there god. They have no idea it was all bullshit started as a troll on 4chan. Look at them still after all these years. Oh Q will post today. Kek. The greatest and cruelest joke ever and the joke is on you. There is not hope. They went way to far.
