Love how the religeous claim certainty that THEIR instructions from God, and they all seem to justify their "grandad's" values as to when to break their own principles.
Ie:
Love thy neighbour but MY NEIGHBOR got a Windmill so I should be allowed to arson!
If a thief takes your cloak, also give him your coat... but no socialism for anyone I dont know, they r all lazy bums
Etc etc
No chance any of this is u know who, or maybe just your ego? Oh no, you know cause a gut feeling and old folks said so
When I was a kid, one of my parents' friends had a fun idea she shared with us. She posed the thought that maybe all the different religions were real and the world was just a game of chess they were playing with us as pieces.
I think we are a science experiment. Not limited to religion.
I read a really fun new age book titled something like "the most attractive place in the universe". It was all kinds of woowoo psuedo-judeo-christian but there were fun ideas in it.
What follows is a rough summary of some of those ideas an in no way represent my view of the cosmos.
There was a whole lot more going on but this was like 30 years ago that I read it.
Woah, I think I've seen that anime...
Even some Christian texts acknowledge that their God isn't the only God, he is just the one you are supposed to worahip.
YHVH was the Canaanite god of war. Different tribes/groups would prefer one god over another. There were even specific deities for some cities/cities which devoted themselves to one god above others.
Edit to add the wikpedia page for Yahweh
In Evangelical circles, we refer to this as discernment. Discernment is great, it explains why the bible might be confusing to some people, why it might seem to definitely contradict itself, and why it seems to be so broadly open to interpretation. To navigate all of that, you don’t trust your evil sinful gut - you use Discernment
It’s spoken about as if it is a super power you get when you become a Christian. Unfortunately, you don’t magically become discerning once you become a Christian, and plenty of people are just dumb.
