/lit/ - Literature

I can respect the Bible and the Quran as influential literary, ethical, and even metaphysical works in their own right, but one issue I have is why-- why should I convert to an Abrahamic religion when it's history is not my own? It's lore is not my own but some political Jewish lore about people seething about land and waiting for a kingdom to come. It isn't something for me and this thinking is why I was turned away from Christianity--

I find it rather suspicious and stupid that throughout all of history, God was with nobody else but with this small sect of Jews in the middle of buttfuck nowhere, and only they "knew the real deal" up until the NT arrives where Jesus comes and somehow "the old covenant is repealed" (ahem sorry, I meant "fulfilled."). Then Muhammad comes in as a violent warlord that has to use barbaric means, working fruitfully to unite Semites, who were always historically a barbaric race, with verses that conveniently allow him to fuck multiple women...

Tell me again, why, convince me why, I should convert to your religion? Jew, Muslim, Christian, some weird Larper, why should I convert to Abrahamic Theology when my own Ethnic religions were enough? What does the history of thousands of years of events and kingdoms in a backwater have to offer me?

I personally feel Abrahamic Religion is more political than it is Esoteric. I would like any of you folks to convince me out of this idea, without any mental gymnastics.

How can one read part II and not become a full on jew hater?

Dude, it's over. You and I both know the desert series are all crap. It doesn't matter what some Bedouin goat-fucker said many hundred years ago.
The age of religions is over, we're all gonna have to bite into that, it's uncomfortable yes. But simply digging your head back into the sand won't do it.
