He then asked if I was willing to shoot someone over my xbox.
I told him, "The xbox was besides the point. We are talking about a person intruding into my house at night with my family present. Hell yes, I'd shoot him. It's the principle of the thing. I'd shoot a hole in my xbox without blinking to do it."
Yes, yes. I got it you think there is a secret cabal of evil, high ranking Jews that are going to murder you in your sleep because of something written in the Torah or other religious texts you're ignorant about, but have been frightened into fearing by some neo-nazis or whatever they are.
I asked you a question.... where in the Torah -- the five Books of Moses -- the first five chapters of the Bible -- do you have evidence of this evil conspiracy?
No, you clearly don't get it, even with that juvenile dismissive sarcasm. No one thinks that stuff but you.
I get what you are trying to do. Judaism is not limited to the torah and you know that.
But since you asked. https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/8222#v29
So... Jews are evil because you think Isaac's blessing to Jacob went too far?
If you look at thousands of pages of books that are thousands of years old, looking to be offended, that's not a hard thing to do. I'd be surprised if you were not.
How do you feel when Leftists tell you the United States is irredeemably evil because slavery existed in the Constitution's original draft?
You are clearly not aware of the metaphorical aspects of those words and take it all literal. I see no point in debating it with you and will just leave you with this, that you TOO are a victim of these psychopaths that operate in your name and will again, as so frequently all throughout history, bring the inevitable wrath on your head. Maybe it won't be you, or even your child, but inevitably these behaviors will result in an inevitable and deserved backlash. You can only abuse a woman so long before she snaps one night and cuts off your dick and stabs you 500 times to death.
To answer your question though; that is a challenging question and likely not because of what you may think. The form of slavery that is referred to by those useful idiots has long been over and was not anything unusual and was actually a small part of the overall slave trade with the Americas. It's just typical manipulative games used to control the mindless hordes of leftist fools like a zombie army that can be directed and moved to attack.
If that were not the case, then not only would people be discussing that feudalism was essentially the very same type of slavery and actually even the origin model for the african slavery in the Americas, which started way earlier and lasted even into the 20th century. And it would also mean that if the USA is "irredeemablly evil" that the hispanics are astronomically evil since multiples of africans were taken to the Caribbean and south Americas and wherein the Caribbean they even totally eradicated the indigenous and even perpetrated one of the few 100% complete genocides in human history against all Europeans (including women and children) in Haiti in 1804.
But the thing you don't likely consider is that slavery didn't actually end, it was only rebuilt or "pivoted" as at least used to be a popular phrase. From that perspective maybe the "leftists" are right, even though they have no f-ing clue, that the USA, even though far less than all other European countries, is irredeemably evil in its current form. The inefficient slavery (a term referring to the slavery or Europeans since Roman times and all throughout feudalism) of keeping and caring for people and restraining them on your land (which usually was not all that difficult since the alternative was being slaughtered by indians or dying in the wilderness) was simply swapped out for the far more profitable enslavement of a majority of people through taxation and enslavement of the willing and hard working and industrious and productive white people … including you.
There are plenty of metaphorical aspects. The Torah can be read on multiple dimensions: The literal, the metaphorical, the mystical, even the numerical.
Holding up Judaism as a unique form of evil - well, that takes a liberty that no, I will not abide.
The universal manifestations of evil in human beings -- that is correct, and all races, creeds, and religions fall prey to that evil -- including Jews.
The difference is the proposition that Jews or Judaism are uniquely evil, or uniquely responsible for the existence of evil. I reject that characterization.
Even in the above passage of the blessings passed on to Abraham and his descendants, recall that this occurred after both the Tower of Babel, the Flood, and indeed the sin in the garden. Mankind's evil predates even the most prominent ancestor of the Jews.
Solzhenitsyn wrote in the Gulag Archipelago of a conversation with a man who died not long after -- that the line of good and evil runs not merely across the entire Earth, but within each individual human heart. It is a struggle that is universal, and each man and woman is one battlefield in that fight.
However, blaming the entirety of evil on one philosophy -- whether Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, even Communism -- is a disservice.
First, it's dehumanizing and enables you to do great evil on the person you named as an enemy.
Second, it's false.
