Yes, you're right. It was hammered into us throughout childhood. Why we had to endure the OT with all its mindless gore + selected Jewish legends has had me puzzled for quite a while. Slowly I've been able to throw those shackles off as the nature of the long game becomes apparent. The so-called Christian Zionists have their heads firmly inserted where the sun don't shine thanks to Scofield's 1917 Bible commentary. The Bible as a whole has spawned all sorts of big religious bu$ine$$e$ & other nefarious organisations. Difficult to see how Zen Buddhism for example could rival that.
I think you’re being too harsh. I’m not touting the Bible and it has been used to justify all kinds of malfeasance. And I’m not saying it was original in all respects. And but the basic principles of morality and respect for your fellow man were admirably laid out.
Btw if people weren’t fighting about religion they’d be fighting about land, women, possessions and you name it.
