I know they tried buying them. I mentioned that to show that they did try a few things. But there were still more choices.

The short story, The Story of your Life by Ted Chiang was better IMO. When I first heard it had been optioned for a movie I didn't see how they could film it and remain true to the story. They did pretty well but opted for a Hollywood world threat menace that was not in the original.

There are other scriptures that show failure of the character. Jonah, Moses and the spring come to mind immediately. Oh and David. The brother of Jared when presented with the lighting concerns puzzles out a solution on his own to present for approval. While I fully admit the laban story interpretation above is my own, it seems in keeping with other stories and their interpretations.

Only a minority of promptings make it into scripture so there's no way to answer that really.

I think the Trump and the animosity are a hiccup while we sort out our tribalist behaviors into a more constructive path. I think the society and system can withstand the pressure and adapt in a constructive way.

Windows 8 started the turn to sour. 10 was full vinegar. I'd been dual booting for years so it was simple to just let windows die. I've not used a Microsoft product in several years now. Ubuntu with the cinnamon desktop. Free, private, ad free.

Don't think so. Self reflective thinking is how you figure these things out. To say the line is crossed by just thinking about the idea of a line or boundary is to nullify self examination. I think the line is mostly personal. And that to argue about your line being right and their line is wrong is more about pride than anything else. The gospel draws some lines clearly. Others are left as exercise for the person. My experience is that it's more revelatory why the person drew the line than where they drew it. You never get to why without the self reflective thinking. If it's all about what and not why, there isn't personal growth.
