He's right tho. This is literally the earliest known and therefore most accurate depiction of your god YHWH. It's a deity of a dessert tribe

I can't help but laugh my ass off every time i see this

Muh YHWH

yeah, I’m a Christian, you got a problem with that? I used to be a sinner like you but 2 years ago I found GOD. In my teens I would laugh at creationists; I would always tell my grandma that I didn’t want to go to mass; I was agnostic but not like r/Atheism. But when I GREW UP and became a man, I realised I needed to put childish things away (1 Corinthians 13:11). Why is that? Because I realized that we need Christianity to SAVE THE WEST. After I voted Trump in the 2016 election I decided to go to church again. I knew that I would find a QT pure Christian GF who I could lose my virginity to (I haven’t lost it yet because I’m saving myself for marriage, like God intended). I haven’t found her yet, but like Job I will pray and have faith in God. Then I saw Jordan Peterson talking about Christianity and I was hooked! (I don’t like him anymore though, he’s a fake Christian). I watched all his videos on the bible and realised how God reveals himself in many ways. I was on /pol/ (came from r/The_Donald during the election but I hate redditors now) Christian General and I saw /lit/ chart which had The Bible and I KNEW I found my people. Every day I see THE WEST falling because we gave up our FAITH. Well, the new Christian intellectuals are coming; We are the sons of the Crusaders and we shall not recoil before the sons of Voltaire! (Candide was shit, so is Nietzsche (haven’t read either of them)). /lit/ introduced me to Kierkegaard and I became a KNIGHT OF FAITH, so now I know that I just gotta believe and that’s TRUE bravery. I read DANTE and DOSTOEVSKY and I saw the beauty of God and true art. I’m a proud Catholic (Protestants are heretics) but I hate Pope Francis, he’s a heretic and isn’t MY Pope. /lit/ is a Christian board, and I know that if I just keep recommending the Bible, telling people to go to church, and making threads about how great God is, I will finally be able to sincerely believe in God and distract myself from the gnawing feeling that I’m a fraud. Faith ain’t easy.

Wow, this is so enlightening. Gonna go cut my dick off now

The truth is that Christianity is just paganism with platonic window dressing. At the end of the day your still kowtowing to a semitic thunder god. Go read Spinoza if you want to get closer to the truth about god

The biggest redpill is that the entire collection is utterly incoherent and absolute drivel when compared to virtually any other religious canon. Literal Muslim tier writing. There might be a gem worth reading every once in a while but the amount of utter garbage in the book means that you are better off studying something more clearly articulated. It's vagueness and the most people's ignorance of the actual contents of the Bible make it a potent tool for controlling the masses. It's a shame that the general population is more familiar with this than the Greeks (who are their actual heritage) than this foreign ethnic myth saga

(((They))) knew that untempered Platonism would overrun the tribe so they tried to wing clip it before it spread too much

Everyone know it's made up. Why do you think they spend so much mental effort trying to make themselves believe. The medieval Christians didn't consider it to be a valid question based on how little they wrote on it. After Kierkegaard, a Christianity based on anything other than subjectivism and solipsism was impossible
Inb4 the (you's), you all know it's true, quit lying to yourself

Go cut your son's dick off goy

Here's your god Christians

Historical/Religious literature is abundant in material about Second Temple sects like Essenes, Pharisees, Sadducees or Early Christians

I'm curious to understand how exactly did the transition happen from henotheism to monotheism for the Israelites and what/who influenced them in making this transition happen.

Can someone please recommend some books on Iron Age Israelites and their religion?
