re: #94 Obdicut

Okay. That isn’t the actual origin, though, because that’s a myth. Right?

And sure, it’s not that god wants you to, but that it’s a sign of the agreement between god and the Israelites. What does that matter?

You still don’t get it. One command and one promise. A man defiantly made a decision about a single god (instead of the multiple gods that was popular with everyone else). You don’t think that is a myth do you?

An illusion? Maybe. However one that started a religion that today has survived with the same tradition 4000 years later.

Now maybe it makes you feel better to think he was just hearing voices, or making stuff up. However Abraham says that at this time there is only one commandment and one promise. And they were not the Israelites yet. They weren’t even the Hebrews.

My point is that you don’t really know the origins. So to say they are illogical and irrational is really showing your ignorance.
