Idk the message there is actually pretty good. If they follow the teachings of their prophet, then they’d leave us the hell alone.

Well they are following their prophet. He wanted them to follow the word of the god of the Old Testament. He was just a PR man for a religion that continued to push slavery, misogyny, hate for pretty much anyone who didn't follow along with their religion.

No where in their good book does this Jesus fella ever disband any of that horrible shit the god did years before, and Christians throughout history and up to today continue to push that horrible worldview.

So you must think Judaism is even worse than Christianity, right?

It depends on which aspect you're talking about.

As a religion, an organization, they are no different. The push the concept of a deity you must obey because you are a human damned by pure existence because their monster of a god says so. While individuals may try and spin their religion how they want, their book and their message is all about abuse.

What makes historical christians worse is they have been the center of a lot of the world's destruction, using their religion to justify their bigotry and abuse as being divinely inspired. Judaism only held that honor during it's infancy.

Modern times aren't really any better. Christian Nationalism isn't making anything up when they push their xenophobic hatred of others. It all comes from a literal reading of the Bible. But then you see things like HeGetsUs. Go do research on the group funding these ads. They are an organization that funds extreme conservative politicians who seek to turn the US into a theocratic state. It's all a PR stunt to get people on board with voting for "christian values" not realizing that the values they are pushing is anti LGBTQ, anti religious freedom, anti science, anti education policies.

Yahweh said you could own the heathen around you as your property ans beat them as long as you dont kill them. Jesus said Slaves obey your masters, even the cruel ones. The Abrahamic religions today haven't gotten any better. Its just that now Christians are starting to say the silent part out loud. Jesus loves you....even though you are an evil sinner who deserves hell.
