i hate this post wheneveri see it sorry lol i can smell the supersessionism. ‘there’s an old jewish story’ yep because judaism is just a quirky abstract reminiscence to help u fix the brokenness of ur own religion and not like a completely different religion with its own theology and philosophy unrelated to urs. there are no people it belongs to or thinkers it produces there is simply an ‘old story’ which you can now insert ur own very specific cultural understandings and theological baggage onto without wondering what the person who said that actually meant by it and if theywould enjoy u using it 2 talk about the guy who invented antisemitism n was forced down their throats for the next 2000 years

#i dont even know which 'old jewish story' its referring to because #thats like a super common mystical idea #if anything it sounds like more at home in islamic mysticism but i guess #something something 'judeo christian' [starts coughing up blood]#im aware imbeing a hater its not that deep btu i feel like that was a final straw for me today #if nothing else in the world i want christians to know that when anyone from literally any other religion uses this word they are not #referring to the same thing you are. call it a semantic coincidence #i increasingly avoid using the word because its like it confuses more than it explains #its better that you approach other religions with a complete blank slate and assume ur learning abt different deities altogether than to #think u have any understanding of what another religious person means when they talk about their god/s #its like when a word meaning something as vague as to do wrong or to disobey etc #gets translated as sin and its like. sin connotes an inherently christian concept that no other religion shares #comparative religion stop ittttt fr just stop #im still laughing from when i was watching this video n it was like. comparative religion dramatic reenactment #andthen it was just the guy trying to shove a square block into a round hole like in one of those childrens toys..#anywya theres more context to this but its not really relevant when this is how its being shared n expressed whatever blows up
