"I read the Talmud and it disturbs me" that is some grade A bullshit right there. Many people who spend years studying it have still never read the whole talmud. By the way, are you fluent in ancient Aramaic?
I get that you need to defend against people reading a racial supremacy tome and coming away with the idea that these people think they are chosen by god to rule over all people and even the best of the goyim must be destroyed is really allegory ---- but please stop playing that game.
Obviously I read translations. Most of it is full of the same kind of stuff other religious books include. As an atheist I have read the Quran, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Talmud, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Pearl of Great Price. I like understanding religions even if I don't accept god claims.
The ideology of the Talmud is no better to outsiders than the ideology of the Quran or the Hadiths. Its a supremacist ideology.
I get that it is allegory - but why do you pretend that a subjective interpretation about something is "wrong" simply because it disagrees with your presuppositions? Are you contending it is not a Jewish supremacist ideology?
So you feel the need to cover your bullshit comment with more bullshit. The vast majority of the Talmud, easily 95% has nothing to do with ideology, but is strictly about Talmudic Law.
Even if you did "read the Talmud" which is highly unlikely, because even with a translation, assuming it was accurate, it would still take you years, it would only be a very superficial reading. The Talmud is extremely complex with thousands of books written on it that delve into it's complexities (in my small book collection, I have 4 large floor to ceiling bookcases filled with them).
Your claim would be the equivalent of someone saying they are an electrical engineer because they know how to turn on a light switch
My claim is my opinion - you are entitled to yours as I am to mine. You don't sell the ideology well if this is your idea of personal advocacy. This kind of shit makes me trust you folks less.
I am not trying to sell anything, just calling out B.S. where I see it
