You say that, but I think anyone who would deny reality and authority of our God Creator is the jew.
The OT is story after story of jews turning to idolatry and pissing off God, who corrects them time and time again, often unleashing His righteous wrath.
The Israelites were led THROUGH the Red Sea, they literally had columns of water on both sides of them. They witnessed 6000 of Pharoah's chariots get destroyed in a single wave of His hand. They stepped over bodies that had washed ashore. Prior to this, they suffered 10 plagues including the reason for Passover, where the entire city was wailing over the instant death of the firstborn sons. I don't know about you, but that means half my household.
And the jews were STILL obstinate and stubborn and deceived, and made their golden calf idol and circle jerked themselves for what they had made. The Bible says all this.
I'm only partway through my re-reading of the OT, and it's nothing but story after story of the rebellious children, the jews, getting smacked down by God.
Culminating in the ultimate teacher and Saviour, who pisses off the now-weaponized jews (Pharisees) so much that they kill him. But God in His Almighty Wisdom knows the heart of the jew, and that they and their minions would kill Him, but God was going to show them up for All Eternity by raising Jesus from the dead!
And all who follow Him would be blessed by Him. Did pagan Europe conquor Africa, the far east, the Americas, and the skies or did CHRISTian Europe? I'll let you think about that.
The Bible is the greatest story I've ever read, once you have the eyes to see it. There's a reason the jews have labeled it anti-semitic.
And if you say Heil Odin, that's okay. Our White Son of God will return and restore order. His saga is written in the stars above! The Truth can be found in many places, there are many breadcrumbs that will lead you to Him. He is a master angler and knows just what hook to use.
Praise be to The Lord!
... anyone who would deny reality and authority of our God Creator is the jew.
That's just a silly statement; not a good way to start.
I believe in God, just not the whacky religious ones. Although it is odd that the New Testament is pretty cohesive while written by mainly four distinct guys. And Jesus has endless kick ass lines and not one failure line. That's the only thing that makes me wonder that maybe Christianity is the right one.
Also, fuck Odin and paganism.
The statement is the thesis of my argument, that jews are now synonymous with rebellious non-believers.
Religion, like almost all institutions, have been corrupted over time. I assume that you have experience in a church setting, where the stories and parables are given out piecemeal, and often paraphrased. You know you'll never get the big picture that way, and one man's recollection is filtered by their own limited understanding.
But your relationship with God is your own. I'm not trying to evangelize you, but reading one of the most treasured books of all time has given me more understanding and direction than anything else. These +1000 year old stories are more relevant to the times we live in than some philosopher or whatever patting themselves on the back for their own cleverness.
Happy pagan eviction day

Agreed. Sorry for going off on you.
