Nah I'm not Christian, maybe I'll come around though, ignoring death will probably get more tedious later on so it might be my escape plan

Basically just a fanfic follow up to the torah

yes and I reject it :)

No, but I've read the Old Testament because my paternal grandmother is a member of an ethno-religious group that isn't very well-liked around here...

I actually thought the old testament was pretty disgusting, so I'm definitely not religiously Jewish. It made me hesitant to engage with the New Testament...

I do have an a affinity for Quakerism, though, so I would be interested in reading a New Testament with Quaker commentary.

Yes but only the important parts: the gospels and revelation

I'm aware of the current conflict between them over Palestine, and I side with the Quakers for the most part, though it's an issue I mostly avoid.

And again, I'm a quarter to a half ethnically Jewish (on my father's side), not religiously.

Flee fornication

Yes and may god have mercy on us all

How does it feel knowing your kike ancestry and their fiction full of incest and murder is the main problem that causes most human suffering, that every major conflict in human history since antiquity has its origins in your fictions?
How does it feel to be a wanderer?

I've read the Gospels and I have to say... I wasn't impressed.

Read the gospels in brief by Tolstoy

>>13414455
Yep. Interesting but I don't think they're revelation of absolute truths.

>>13416042
I've already read them in full. I don't need a tl;dr of them.

>>13416067
That's admirable but I wouldn't read the bible until I understood in modern terms what the bible is explaining. So many stories are entirely lost and the debates surrounding them, of those times, are gone, and it seems like dry prose, much like iliac would seem like a terrible, or potential, action movie.

>>13414455
Yes, I have brother

>>13414455
Only the gospel is of Jesus, the rest are of the apostles.

>>13414486
Torah doesn't mean Old Testament you dimwit.

Yes, I'll get right to it after reading an explanation of politico-economic theory by Pol Pot.

How does it feel to be a gullible piece of shit? Kill yourself.

Abrahamic faiths have had an imperialist impulse since the Romans saw Christianity as an effective tool to suppress the beliefs of the people they conquered. It isn't the fault of the Jews, no matter how much your stupid white trash retard leaders try to tell you it is.

I don't care much about my Jewish heritage, but I am proud of the many great thinkers that came out of Jewish thought, from Baruch Spinoza and Sholem Aleichem to Murray Bookchin, Peter Singer, and Noam Chomsky.

The only time I care at all about my Jewish ancestry, though, is when inbred pieces of shit like you try to degrade it.

Your mind is fucked up because you hate yourself, and you take it out on easy targets.

Terrible take, christianity was accepted because it was intellectually superior to Greek philosophies. It didn't answer the question why.

This being said are you interested in a rebuttal to Jewish influence, not him btw and I pretend I'm half Jewish so I'm pro jew.

>>13416916
It was accepted because eventually enough of the slave classes and women of the empire had converted. Saying it was intellectually superior is such a dumb thing to say, especially when we literally have the writings of even Christians converts saying how much problem they were having getting the upper classes and the philosophers to convert.

>>13414455
Yes, but only to know my enemy better

>>13414492

Yes, I found it interesting how half of it was written by a Pharisian despite Jesus explicitly stating "Beware the leaven of the Pharisians".

>>13414455
I am reading it now. Finished Matthew and tomorrow I will finish Mark.
