First, no one is imposing any religion on you. Businesses are imposing ads on all of us. I don't see you in an uproar over that. Like most of us, you ignore them. Second, look deeper into the reasons for what pleases you to label "religious wars." Every single war is fought over power and wealth. Still, perhaps in the Poltical Forum you are calling for the end to all governments due to the number of wars people with power and wealth start? Isn't it other countries are telling us not to impose our democracy and politics on them?

The "I'm going to blame religion for everything and give government and business a pass for doing even worse" does not fly well, and smacks only of posturing.

I long ago got over the faux brag of "I don't have anyone on ignore". Honestly, when posters repeat vicious nonsense, it's ignore for me. I generally give them one or two more chances but if the bleating continues, goodbye. I don't need that in my life.

Joe is on perma-ignore. I feel like if enough of us did this, posters like this would eventually get tired of hot-boxing their own noxious thoughts and leave

Okay, here's the thing.

We elect the government. So if the government screws up and gets us into a war, then that's kind of on us. Also, most wars are fought for sensible reasons, such as protecting the nation from attack or deposing people who are truly evil. (Think the Catholic Church's best buddy, Hitler.)

As opposed to religious wars, which are usually about some truly silly shit. Like who a magic Sky Pixie promised a strip of desert to. Or whether or not Jesus was made out of stale wafers or not.

Yes, I did make you look pretty silly pointing out that like most Xians, you are a flaming hypocrite.

But that's on you.

If adam(meaning man) pushes away Lilith & the first bride leaves adam aka man- not given equal position, and then returns to Adam (man) that makes Lilith the Temple Priests and Eve the Church priesthood. So the complaint would be
"the church you made gave me the fruit (teachings) from the tree of knowledge that is both good and evil."
However, God did not make Eve, God made Lilith, it was Eve who CAME OUT OF THE RIB OF MAN=man made the church, Adam(man) should be blaming himself (mankind that does not listen to the simple warnings that ironically even preachers teach: warning a POLITICAL AUTHORITY WOULD LIFT A FALSE PROPHET & MAKE IT (THE IMAGE) SEEMINGLY DO MIRACLES AND WONDERS.

Ah, here's the problem with that. Lilith is just fan fic to explain a literary problem in Genesis.

She doesn't actually appear in the Bible.

Again, I find this arguing over mythology and fiction to be amusing, if you guys didn't go around killing each other over it.

Rationalization and subjectivity are man’s downfall.

 

[ding]

In Jewish tradition, God is often understood as the embodiment of truth, with the Hebrew word "emet" (meaning truth) being closely associated with God's nature, signifying that God is completely reliable, unchanging, and the source of all true reality; essentially, "God is truth."

Ergo rationalizations and subjectivity move man away from God.

 

[ding]

While some Jewish philosophical interpretations, particularly those of Maimonides, view God as the ultimate source of reason and logic, the Jewish perception of God is not solely based on the concept of logic; it encompasses a broader understanding of God as a personal, all-knowing, and omnipresent creator who is also deeply involved in the lives of individuals and the world at large.

 

[ding]

While not explicitly stated as "God is love" in every Jewish text, the Jewish perception of God is indeed one of a loving deity, with the concept of God's love being deeply embedded in Jewish tradition, even if it's not always expressed in everyday language; the emphasis is on demonstrating this love through actions and following the teachings of the Torah.

You know what you won't catch me doing? Coming into threads at Yom Kippur or Rosh Hashana and dumping my thoughts about the wrongness of your religion all over.

But I see you and your friend are at it....not a classy look. Quite the opposite.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur do not fall on Baal's birthday nor are they plagiarized Mystery Babylon.

You can say that about the whole NT then.

Oh, I do. The whole fucking Bible is mythology and distorted history.

The craziness is living next to people who want to murder you because a book with a talking snake in it told you to.
