Nope, just being a realist. And I’m not anti-Semitic. Just because I have reasons to distrust the Talmud doesn’t mean I’m anti-Semitic. I don’t wish death upon Jews, that’s what anti-Semitism would require.
And yes, I know Taqqiyah is an Arabic word, but I’m not sure of how else to describe it. And there’s a big difference between lying to protect someone from people trying to kill that someone, and lying specifically to take down an enemy group of people, something that God NEVER condoned, period. The latter is what the Talmud promoted. If you have any other terms that specifically describe the aspect that Taqqiyah embodies, I’m all ears.
Yes, except most religious texts, even the pagan ones, do NOT make a deity out to be weaker or dumber than mortals. In fact, most if not all religions generally make gods to be superior to mortals in EVERY manner. The Talmud actually DID do that by having God lose a debate to a mortal, and even be restrained by mortals to such an extent that he can’t do anything without a majority vote. That’s not a sin of commission or omission, that’s literally what’s shown.
Actually, I have befriended Jews. Some autistic people I know who are friends are in fact Jewish, at least in ethnicity (one of them’s non-Kosher, though).
And as a bit of a clarifying point, even the instances in the pagan myths regarding mortals somehow outwitting or even harming gods, they generally only end up living to regret it... if they are even left alive at all.
However, right now, I do have wariness especially regarding the Talmud, so while I do have friends who are Jewish, I’m keeping them at arms length after I learned about their doctrine on lying to gentiles.
