Only because you tried to play a Joker - not a valid card in this game.
Would you pm me or try to slander me in public?
Noted - will be looking for the same in yourself in relation to projection.
I really like honest people - tell me anything, I won't take offense.
I understand it as a form of idol worship - people with small identities.
No mine - Judaism. We have to understand the 'state' of Israel/Judaism is (at least invariably was) established on the basis that the Torah is the perfect word of god. It was "believed" that even if a single letter were misplaced out of sequence, the creation would collapse. It is "believed" that God used the 22 letters to create all things etc.
The central claim that is important is the "perfection" of the Torah because 1 000 years later the Islamic world would rise, steal a bunch from Judaism and make the same claim about their own book. The original claim started with Judaism and was inherited by Islam.
Much of the Western world is build using the Torah as an "authority" prefacing the rest of the Bible which... even more people "believe" is the perfect word of god.
See the common problem here?
What if we added the element that Moses wasn't even a Hebrew? He was actually an Egyptian? He didn't actually lead an Exodus, but rather got kicked out being allowed to bring his cult of Atun with him? That Akhunatun was re-branded as "Moses" (not even a Hebrew name, but an Egyptian one) etc?
You are a "philosopher" - what are the implications of all of this?
If Moses wasn't a Hebrew, there is no potent god behind Judaism/Christianity/Islam. It was all retro-fitted to "justify" the state of Israel.
Great - I love dissent. Making two one is nothing but fun.
And Allah precedes Islam. Does that mean Allah exists? This isn't an argument at all.
Does Judaism claim there is only one god - blessed be he? That's a claim.
Unfortunately for us, Christianity makes the same claim for itself.
Unfortunately for us again, Islam makes the same claim for itself.
If they all claim there is only one god - why are there three different religions worshiping one? Is this what god has in mind?
Hyperbole - Wikipedia
I treat the Torah has completely mythological - with a butchered semblance of real history, but modified/adapted to help justify Israel. I don't take anything in it literally.
In fact, I don't even read the narrative associated with it at all. That is like a garment over what is actually written.
It is true that two things can be true despite appearing diametrically opposed. That is kind of how the physically manifest world works - illusion of two, reality of one.
That is why there are two physical eyes and one "third" eye. They reflect binah (understanding) being able to see the simultaneous truths (chokmah) and making them into one (keser): an endless process that leads to aur ein soph: it is equivalent to the truth of the way of life statement from Jesus.
Life = Binah / YHVH Elohim (unity-duality-plurality)
Way = Chokmah / YHVH (unity-duality)
LIFE = Keser / Ehyeh (ha'ya) (unity) - I AM
What did god tell Moses to tell his people? Who sent him? 'I am'. Not 'I am that I am' sent you, simply 'I am'.
'I am' is the basis of all consciousness (Brahma). Everything else beyond this is self-adopted identity: I am... a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, an atheist, an (a?)gnostic, a philosopher, a victim, a persecuted one, a superior one, a "believer" who "believes" that book x and idol y are infallible etc.
The intellect only functions based on the identity to protect it: hence "taking offense" being a clear sign of small identity syndrome. Same thing as idol worship: you're offensive! You're hurting my feelings! You're talking hate speech! Don't insult our prophet!
Idol worshipers - hundreds of millions dead over this small identity idol worship nonsense. Speaking of which..
None like Jud-Islam: it is the Canaanite scapegoating mentality. Here is a philosophical view that happens to explain why WW3 is about to happen. It is my own finding: Torah helped me see it (ironically):
Things like hatred, resentment, envy, enmity, superiority complex, perpetual victimhood mentality etc. require objects/targets. For example, if a Muslims "feels" they are a victim (ie. identifies as one - remember the intellect functions around the identity), they will always be looking for the source of their own suffering.
Suppose the Qur'an is man-made (as it actually is) but the Muslim "believes" it is from god (it is not) and the leaders of Islam indoctrinate Muslims at a young age to "believe" otherwise they are going to burn in hell for eternity. So the Muslim has fear (of nothing that actually exists) their entire lives.
Now suppose:
-Muslim "believes" Qur'an is from god (it is not).
-Muslim "believes" Sharia must replace all existing laws (requiring jihad).
-Muslim is fighting to install 7th century man-made laws "believing" they came from god, to replace 21st century man-made laws which reflect 13 centuries of human advancement.
-As much as 690 000 000 people are dead as a result of Islamic jihad.
-Islam is presently commencing a global jihad as we speak on all fronts non-military.
-The same Nazi fascism that rose in Germany is being replicated globally: antisemitic parties pushing Jew/white hatred. These are Islam's greatest enemies because most literature that accurately captures the true nature of Islam is from secular societies.
What do you think is going to cause WW3? Where is all of this leading? Why is Islam so male-centric? Why were Muhammad and Hitler so similar re: hatred for Jews? Were they both central male dictators? Where is Jew hatred coming from? Who do Muslims consistently blame for almost everything? What M/E democracy do "Palestinians" want to wipe off the face of the planet? If Islam means "peace", how has it been divided internally for 1400 years? What happened at the death of Muhammad? What happened to North Africa and India? What happened to Europe? etc. etc. etc.
Same problem: Islam - using "Islamophobia" as a charge against anyone who criticizes Islam. Women being raped all over the place - Islamic presence/ownership in media networks are being gagged citing "racism" and "sowing discord" etc. All fascism, fascism, fascism and it is getting worse.
And most of humanity is still asleep - not realizing the problem. It's in Torah: man blames woman for his own iniquity.
Look at women in Islam. Who is blamed for being raped? Why do men blame women for enticing a man? Who is supposed to govern their own sexual behavior? Why are women responsible for how men act? How many wives did Muhammad have? How old was A'isha when Muhammad had sex with her? How many female poets did Muhammad execute for calling out his hypocrisy?
Why do political warlord dictators like Justin Trudeau in Canada get picked up by Islam and start installing Sharia? Why does he silence/gag women from speaking out against him? See any patterns here?
C'est la vie - humanity chooses this stupidity.
