The Bible is fiction. There is no such thing as a god. Fuck all religion.

Pretty much the same intolerant attitude of the Spanish Inquisition Priests - "fuck any philosophy that wasn't theirs" - today's religion among the so-called intellectuals (and many them know jack shit about metaphysical questions) is reductive materialism. Which by the way, is a philosophy that remains unproven scientifically or philosophically.

Your shallow intolerant statement reminds me of something Joseph Campbell said in his book Myth and Meaning:

"There are two attitudes toward religious and mythic images today. One is that they are references to facts, and the other is that they are lies. But they are neither facts nor lies; rather, they are metaphors. Mythology is a compendium of metaphors."

ps: By the way, just because extremists Jews are carrying out a genocide does not mean all religions are evil. That would be pretty much the same as claiming all Secularists are evil because the last Two World Wars that killed 100s of millions of people including carrying out a holocaust against Jews - all Secularists are evil because they were responsible for the two world wars. It's shallow as fuck reasoning and intolerant bigotry worthy of no intellectual respect.

Do you really believe that god is a real estate agent?

A side gig from being all powerful, omniscient master of the universe.

I was expecting an enlightening explanation of how the formation of Israel in 1948 wasn't an assault on all the Arabs inhabating the land on which that nation was formed, and you give this? Can you try again?

How can you use an old book like that to justify what is supposed to be done today? Did they have robots? Algorithms? Instant information exchange? Planes? Television? It's preposterous to use an antiquated book, a 2-dimensional thing, to explain human complexity.

Well if the Bible is true then that means Jews are the bad guys right? Wasn’t there a reason they were persecuted so much through early history?

By that logic, the Hebrews stole Palestine from the Philistines.

Take yer fucking Bible and thump yerself upside the head with it; it might knock some sense into ya.

Your “Bible” ain’t nuthin but a big book of horror stories. The Brothers Grimm did it better.

Oh, and your “Jesus” is gonna arrive atop a big mushroom cloud 😁
