The only thing funny here is the pains you take to distract from the point made, preferring to attach motives to the one making the point, in a vain attempt at hoping to evade discussion. It is a predictable pattern with you, most likely to buy time, or avoid the debate altogether, by supplying sub-standard or irrelevant literature from the likes of, say, Kancha Ilaiah, or the author of that other “brilliant” piece you posted on this very thread, whom you found it fit to refer as an “eminent” writer. The intent is plainly evident, and yet you persist. Repeatedly. I am not the only one calling you out on this. A quick perusal of your posting history and replies to you from others, on other threads, reveals the same, as well.
One simple sentence can be interpreted in many ways, and the likes of Harvard can discuss it not just for a semester, but for aeons. Semitic languages are notorious for suffering from this inadequacy, and as expected, much exploited by theological charlatans from all religions relying on tracts recorded in this family of languages - Islam, Judaism, Catholicism, what have you.
Now, back to the original point. A claimed god-entity relying on obfuscation and multiply-interpretable sentences, while making commandments meant to be followed, not just by the handfuls of non-existent PhDs (or “T”hDs with degrees in largely useless areas, best described as hobby-pursuits), but by the common man (or the common slave, at the time of Moses), mostly illiterate and uneducated, beggars common sense.
As for the 1 Samuel 15: 2-3 reference, your implication that a plain commandment that ordered men to kill the infants, can be interpreted as an act of benevolence, is what is idiotic. Going by your own faulty “logic”, one could as well conclude that the day is brightest at night. Time is immaterial here. Your claim that a verse concocted 400 years after the act, could not accurately depict what actually happened at the time, only supports the argument attacking the shaky and flawed construct of this entire man-made enterprise.
You have just provided an Exhibit I of verbal diarrhea and why you lack a serious education: Words, phrases, metaphors all flying around in a random incoherent thought. Think about it.
The gist of your post is that there is should be no need for teachers or interpreters of the Word of God since most people at the time were “mostly illiterate and uneducated.” Mind-boggling!
So we must abide by the literal text of Samuel even if it was meant by the author to conjure an idea of God to justify aggression over an event that took place four centuries before the utterance- context, history, sub-text, authenticity, all be damned.
I mean this well. Either stay away from serious intellectual discourse or first equip yourself with critical learning in a university context before venturing to
post your opinions on subjects that are far more complex than astronomy.
