The Bible also says disobedient children should be murdered. The Bible says that if you rape a child, you have to give her dad $50 and marry her. The Bible is OBSESSED with foreskin collection.
It says a lot of very stupid tripe, that’s why nobody bothers following it.
Like Old Testament was for the one group in the area who removed those as children. No adult spy would do that for cover, and it would take substantial time to heal to pass
So it wasn’t “we love foreskins, gimmie them foreskins” as much as “give me the one thing that proved you killed an adult man who wasn’t part of us”.
It was genocide, if you weren’t part of ‘the tribe’ you were an enemy and should be killed.
I always laugh at this argument, because there’s a more amusing argument. Yeah, it’s Israel’s land and they’re G-d’s chosen people. But multiple times in the Bible G-d has taken that land from them and even had them enslaved by nearby nations! At this point in the mythos, G-d, the Messiah, has yet to reveal himself. He’s still in silence lol So, based on all that, it sounds like Israel needs to take some responsibility for what they do.
Thanks for the advice! I will still write G-d out because I like it and it’s a part of my spiritual journey! I’m very big into Samsara and I really like the Hebrew tradition of not writing out G-d’s name from holiness and not wanting to destroy it!
I appreciate you asking why I do it, instead of just calling me a fool with no prior knowledge of me as a person. That could’ve really hurt my feelings and put a damper on my day, so I appreciate all your kind words!
He’s not wrong from a BIBLICAL standpoint.

That makes sense tho…

So yeah, totally evil, but logical.

You can write god. Nothing happens. You look like a fool.
