When you think about it ( that doesn't include you guys from Texas since you believe the bible is an scientific, historically accurate document, as well as holding the superlative morally righteous blueprint for living - which oddly allows you to deny climate change, killing innocent people with automatic weapons because they're 'trespassing', along with directions that desperate refugees fleeing a war zone for their lives are suddenly '*********s'.
I'll break it down for ya's: The old testament is simply ******* asserting it's moral and religious ascendancy over all other groups through the use of epic and vengeful myth creation.
Translation: ***s invented a form of racial supremacy by declaring that 1. there was only one God, that one God was ***ish, and he had chosen the ***s to be his representatives on Earth.
Hence the 'chosen people'.
******* thwarted and rebranded morality way back then, as there were only 'masters', and '******'.
Around this social construction was no notion of good, evil, wrong or right, things just as they were.
The ***s came up with an ingenious plan to label their enslavers 'evil' for what they did, and themselves as 'good', because they acted in a righteous manner. Over time this became the dominant narrative of Good and Evil.
The New Testament was written by people well after the fact, though records show a madman was running around Galilee and Jerusalem and was a rabble-rouser, potentially a threat as his followers were growing.
The New Testaments teachings are an abomination against nature and the genuine way human beings are made.
This is why Christians have to reverse-justify all the good acts they do, the most corrosive is the idea that the world is 'evil', we are born unworthy, and must abstain from all worldly pleasures to be allowed into a metaphysical paradise! What a laugh.
What separates this fanciful tripe from any other myth or children's story?
That people believe in it's empty, false promises out of desperation. Hope, salvation, redemption, contentment, joy - these are all transitory ephemeral feelings never to be captured.
Albert Camus wrote that why does no one question that the world around us perpetually denies us the satisfaction of our desires? What cruel joke is that?
It leads to the conclusion that man and the Earth are no friends and introducing a pretend overseer who will make everything alright is the exact same way we talk to two-year-olds when they get scared.
Liberation consists in accepting the cold, hard reality - the bible is a book of intended manipulation, power and control, and who would have believed a billion idiots roamed the Earth clutching to their emotional opium. Fools.
