There's a fantastic book called "Lamb" that is all about this from the perspective of Christ's bestie Biff. It's hilarious.

Those events would have been centuries apart. This is like saying that because Romulus and Remus weren't raised by a she-wolf you don't believe in Rome.

I figure if you look at the Mizrahi Jews from Morocco he looked like that.

Sicilians weren't seen as Italians by other Italians because Arabs had held Sicily for centuries. This is also why some did not see the Spanish as white.

My grandmother's mortgage paper from 1955 had a clause to check to see if the Italian quota had been hit before offering the home for sale to Italians. Of course you couldn't sell to black or Jewish people. This was in Northern NJ.

The Ashkenazi Jews seem to have bred with people in the area of Russia/Ukraine millennia ago and that's why you have more Eastern European looking Jewish people. It isn't because of climate per se.

This is more "there's thousands of people following a guy who was crucified named Yeshua" vs "we have proof of a guy named Yeshua".

What historians seemingly agree upon is that there was a guy who preached something that was probably reformist in nature named Yeshua. We don't have much more than that.

I grew up Christian and no longer believe but with the exception of Matthew 15:21-28, which you only quote a piece of, you are taking these out of context.

Matthew 10 is Jesus sending his apostles to preach his word. The bit about not bringing peace but a sword is a reference to the changes he promised and the suffering he tells the apostles they will face for preaching his word. This is also where Jesus tells them to separate from family that turns their back on Jesus' word.

It's not an endorsement of violence.

John 14:6 is properly read in context. You cannot follow a path different than the one Christ set and get to heaven. The guy who constantly steals, cheats, abuses people, and only pursues wealth or the praise of others isn't a "good guy" in most religions. This isn't as controversial as you make it out to be.

Luke 12:47-48 is part of a parable which discusses how since you cannot know when Jesus would return you always need to be ready.

This isn't an endorsement of slavery nor is it a refutation of it, rather, it is part of a metaphor and wasn't taken literally. If you got this one off a website or infographic rather than your own knowledge of the texts it's a trash tier source. If this came from your own knowledge WTF this is one of the most famous passages in the whole book you shouldn't be fucking this one up if you know the NT.

The last part is the only thing actually taken correctly in context. Jesus wasn't there for the gentiles. The idea he was here for all comes from all the Paul related writings aka the gentile who never met Jesus IRL.

When you see something that looks as off as these quotes do you should look at the larger passage because they rarely mean what the atheists think they do.

Do you think Ancient Jewish people were black? Have you ever met anyone who lives around the Mediterranean? He would look like a version of that guy who worked outdoors. He was from the Levant not sub-Saharan Africa. He wouldn't be "black" rather he would be seen as Middle Eastern.

We have no idea if he was apocalyptic. We suspect he was a reformer as reformist movements were popular at the time.

I 100% would but recognized it early enough in life that I dont gamble but lord it hits every single obe of those buttons.

Go take an hour or so to look into all the times Drake has pursued a woman under 18 or waits until the day they hit 18. There's a lot of smoke for a place you are suggesting there is no fire.

Why do you think it criticizes Jewish people?

Good to know. Thank you!

"...when I’m upset (which is admittedly ~90% of the time but I can’t control that)."

You should note that you are talking about your anger which you recognize is a problem for you and others. Yes it is a turn off.

You might currently lack the awareness and skill set to control your mood but this is something you can develop through therapy. It is literally what therapy is for. I hope you find what you need to resolve your anger.

Edit: You might find after having a discussion with a therapist that "your reasons" for being angry may not be justified or might be inappropriate responses due to things entirely unrelated to the matter at hand.

If you only contacted them once and then they banned you across several platforms ypu really had to cross a line.

I get that you are striving to find a way to make yourself out to be in the right but with every comment you make it clear that isn't the case. Your behavior here really supports the notion that you just don't understand how far off the mark you were.

No assholes like this are parts of both parties.

He's the guy who did the Zero Punctuation game reviews for The Escapist so probably.

You gave all thenecessary details. Someone who owes you nothing didn't follow through on their promise. You harassed them to the point of blocking you in multiple spaces. They would only do that had you crossed a line.

Do you not get that you have dozens of people trying to explain to you that you were in the wrong and why? No one is imagining anything here your behavior in this thread makes it really clear you have a massive chip on your shoulder. Get off line for a while and learn how to interact with adults.

No they blocked you because you were not being polite. You are 100% without question not in the right in this case.
