PurpleXVI posted:The only government painted as correct and worthy of praise is ruled by an autocratic strongman who's never wrong, with the exception of one book where he's wrong for all of five minutes. The only thing that's presented as an alternative is a monarch with a Divine Right To Rule that everyone recognizes just by gazing upon his superior being. Any time democracy or republicanism get brought up, they're dismissed with mockery along the lines of "lol, but even THIS GUY can see that letting the idiots vote would ruin the whole thing" or "the peasants play along while wisely recognizing that what truly functions is a monarchy. This aspiring Republican is truly a silly man." So I'm clear, your theory is the book series that portrays several evil autocratic dictators and precisely one benign one is flatly pro-autocratic dictatorship?

Henchman of Santa posted:No that’s Yom Kippur. People enjoy Passover for some reason even though matzo is loving terrible. Life-hack: lay a few matzos down, pour a little bit of water on them. Then eat them when they soften up.  But if you think matzot themselves are bad, try to spend Chol Hamo'ed in Israel. It's a bit better now than when I was growing up, depending on where you are, but a lot of foods have Kosher for Passover replacements that are subpar.

I've actually been making my way through the bible and all those Christmas specials about Moses often fail to mention the part where he roams through the land like Genghis Khan and burns cities and claim all the virgin women as god rains fire from the skies on his enemies. Also the children of Israel experience miracles of god on a daily basis. Like 20.000 people stray from god and then instantly burst into flames and get swallowed by the ground. Yet every time Moses or Aaron's son turns his back the Children of Israel are off worshipping another god or making the wrong kind of altar or some other heretic crap and they get some sort of super plague and just melt on the spot and then 5 minutes later the survivors are off blaspheming again. It also has like a hundred loving pages on how to barbecue a ram/cow/sheep to honour god and then some wine and bread with oil and honey it's all just really bad if you're on s strict diet like me.

I'm at the part where the children of Israel get saved by a hero and then they blaspheme and god sentences them to enslavement by some some villain and then another hero arises and saves them and then they blaspheme again and god sentences them to yet another enslavement. This happens like 8 times.

How did anti-Semitism become so prevalent in Christian Europe when the god in the bible smites the poo poo out of everyone who messes with the jews? If you take the bible at face value then you would have to give the jews a pretty wide berth if you knew what was good for you.

I think the idea is God used to do that until Jesus came along, and then he dropped the Jews for the new hotness. (Or, friendship ended with Jews. Now Christians are my best friend.)

I liked how Jesus was like "PAY YOUR loving TAXES AND STOP HOARDING WEALTH" and beat the gently caress out of a ton of capitalists, so the resulting church embraced capitalism, hoarded wealth, and became tax exempt Good job you loving shitheads cool religion
