lol that's a teen polisci student whose bio says he is both a "Marxian" and a "Lib Dem"

kind of a normal take for that clade, tbh, but no less spicy on the palate anyway
That's not actually contradictory. Marxian refers to the his economic analysis, not any political projects associated with him. In this case, probably someone who would use Marxism as a blueprint for more successfully exploiting people.

Yeah, God kept insisting that he’s the only king that Israel would ever need, and that a temporal monarch is just a path to tyranny. Then the Israelites were like “but we waaant oneuh.

that’s what the whole book of Judges was about. the tribes ruled themselves and the judges were like hetmen. once you get into the era of kings, they keep loving it up because if the monarch becomes wicked then it poisons the whole country and God turns his back on them.

The king who is described by God as “a man after my own heart”, David, sends a man to the front lines so that he dies in combat and David can bang his widow.

Yeah, but in response God sends a prophet who tricks David into agreeing that he should be killed for what he did and then the kid he had with the widow gets sick and dies. And then one of his sons wants to gently caress a half-sister so he kills another one of David’s sons and anyway long story short David gets owned pretty hard for the next several chapters.

IMO the hagiography for David comes purely from him transforming Israel into a Levantine empire, and all the times he hosed up as a moral actor is just water under the bridge. Or at least that's just this goon's opinion.

Anyway, the Bible and all the texts that comprise it can't be thematically consistent because they were written in different times, by different authors, and all of those authors were men with their own agendas and unreliable accounts.

That’s not even true either. According to the Old Testament, Israel had to beg God to let them have a king because Philistine’s god let them have a king and if we’re the only ones who don’t have one the other tribes are going to make fun of us and He begrudgingly gives in like an overworked parent who’s tired of fighting and figures that if He takes them to McDonalds they’ll at least shut up for a few minutes.

you made the common mistake of thinking these people actually have any interest in what the bible says

Yeah it's wild how much of the old testament is just a reflection of the values any seminomadic pastoralists would have, and we're supposed to believe it's all the inerrant word of God.

well as someone with a background in a relatively liberal church, "bible study" is just when you read passages as a group and then you're led to interpret them according to the prevailing mores of the church.

in other words the Catholics were right, and Martin Luther was a mistake.

as someone who grew up southern baptist, they do this with literally any information they receive, the Bible just gets a little more consideration for being literally true as it is the word of god

also anything that disagrees is possibly literally the devil trying to trick you

Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts.
