Posting Multi-Block Quotes

This is a follow up to the Test Page set up yesterday (Dec. 9 2021).

I had a lot of problems and the person from Support Forums spent a lot of time helping me. I will save here the instructions and screenshots that worked.

The test text used for these instructions was taken from https://www.quora.com/If-Ashkenazi-Jews-really-do-have-an-estimated-IQ-of-115-why-isnt-Israel-the-country-with-the-highest-IQ-worldwide/answer/Yoni-Ariel.

Instructions

Posted by member mohammadriyad:

I am explaining again from the very beginning with screenshots. I believe it will work for you.
1). Create a new Quote Block from the editor. Screenshot
2). After that, click “Edit as HTML” from the toolbar. Screenshot
3). You will find the new quote block like this & copy paste all the text between the “p” tag. Here is screenshot
4). After pasting all text (I have copied text from your text page to show you only) it will appear like this screenhot
5). Use css on the “p” tag. You will see in the screenhotI have used two “<br>” tags to break the line twice.
6). Update the page.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5 Screenshot looks same as for Step 4. Possibly wires got crossed on internet but instructions are clear.

From Test Page

Successful results.

Test 5

The key is religious attitudes towards critical thinking and education. Judaism is an action based religion, not a faith or thought based one. For us, thinking about whether God really exists is not a sin, as we understand our minds have a mind of their own, and we do not and can not control our thoughts. With us, you only commit a sin if you actually do something, not just think about it.

Agnosticism or even atheism is not a sin according to Judaism. Only if you actually converted to a faith that believes in more than one God have you sinned. As a result, our religion and culture have never prevented us from asking questions, challenging accepted dogma and concepts, thinking critically and originally, and encouraging intellectual curiosity. This is what has given us the intellectual and innovation advantage that is often misinterpreted as having a higher IQ.

Christianity is a faith-based religion. This means what you believe, or think is more important than what you do. To an observant Christian (until 150 years ago the vast majority of people were religiously observant, secularism is a 19th century phenomenon), merely thinking about whether God exists or questioning to yourself whether Jesus was his son was a sin. As a result, Christian culture inhibited out of the box thinking, because it was often likely to be followed by a bad attack of guilt. Guilt is really bad for the mind and psyche. This created a mindset inimical to critical or original thinking, and strongly discouraged intellectual curiosity, since all too often such thinking resulted in being accused of heresy, witchcraft or devil worshipping, which often meant a prolonged and painful death.
