          I really do want to get into this conversation with you because I can already tell your understanding of religion and history comes from sassy youtubers but I know from experience it never really goes anywhere because people like you can’t confront the fact that your worldview is tainted by irrational bigotry.

          But I’ll leave you with this nugget: Organized religion is the only reason we were able to transition from small nomadic tribes to densely populated cities and literally kickstarted the historic era. For the VAST majority of written history religion and governance were basically the same thing.

              Thank you for proving my ‘sassy youtubers’ assesment of your knowledge on history.

              Religion literally kept people from washing their hands

              See? That’s what I mean.

      Israelites enforcing the word of EL? The Canaanite God of War? Yep. Same exact philosophy that has been handed down since The Bronze Age Collapse. Used against their cousins again.

      Just accept that you’re Israelite “history” from Exodus on is mythology, as in the authors lied, which was common at the time, and you’ll see how these ideas are exactly the same, as are the people espousing such hatred for their fellow humans.
