    Which is fun because under further review it turns out that the Hebrews were Canaanites themselves. They genocided their own neighbors.

        Sure but we didnt need to build an international religion out if it which should have disappeared at least 200 years ago

          I really do want to get into this conversation with you because I can already tell your understanding of religion and history comes from sassy youtubers but I know from experience it never really goes anywhere because people like you can’t confront the fact that your worldview is tainted by irrational bigotry.

          But I’ll leave you with this nugget: Organized religion is the only reason we were able to transition from small nomadic tribes to densely populated cities and literally kickstarted the historic era. For the VAST majority of written history religion and governance were basically the same thing.
