[happyk44]

on one hand adding descriptions is fun to do and good because accessibility! on the other hand i have 600 drafts saved because i struggle so hard to reblog image without descriptions now. like if its super complex or abstract and i can just look at it and know "yeah there's no way im gonna be able to describe this in a way that works or makes sense" then into the queue it goes

but otherwise they just sit. waiting.

which is annoying because 600 drafts and also i save my own posts to finish or edit later and then lose and forget about them because they got hidden and there's so only so far i can scroll without getting tired

i am sick and fucking tired of antisemitic ex-Evangelicals in the US who came from a religion that took our Tanakh, chopped it up into little bitty pieces, mistranslated it (looking at you KJV), and called it the "Old Testament", who then abuse our sacred texts in order to attack Jews.

Christians and ex-Christians who call Hashem "angry" or "not loving" are engaging in one of the oldest and most insidious forms of antisemitism there is. as OP points out, it's part of Christian supersessionism.

they've culturally appropriated our texts, and then they think they get to tell us what they mean? fuck no. they can fuck all the way off!

it is not Judaism's fault that your Christian church leaders abused these Jewish sacred texts, weaponized them against you, and told you that you were going to hell. it is horrible that your religious leaders did this to you. you did not deserve this. but please, place the blame where it belongs -- on your former religious leaders, not on Judaism.

when you call Hashem "angry" (like during the Flood story), all you're doing is showing that you have zero understanding of Jewish history or tradition. you know nothing about the Babylonian Exile or how the Jews survived cultural death and assimilation by affirming our monotheism.

Parshah Noach (which you've probably heard as Noah's Ark) was clearly inspired by the Babylonian flood myth, which the Jews held captive in Babylon in the 500s BCE would have heard.

and yet, in the Babylonian version, there are several gods who are involved in the flood, and in saving humanity. Enlil wants to drown all of humanity, but Ea (Enki) intercedes on humanity's behalf. Ea tells the human king Utnapishtim to build a great boat and to load his entire family and all the beasts and animals of the field onto the boat. they weather the storm and the flood, and afterwards, the once angry Enlil blesses them.

the Jews during the Babylonian exile had to find a way to survive, to avoid assimilation and cultural death in polytheistic Babylon. and so they had a revolutionary insight: *all* gods are Hashem.

the Jews had already been practicing monolatry in the First Temple period in the Kingdom of Judah -- that is, they worshipped G-d without explicitly denying the existence of other gods. (we know this based on archeological evidence that shows the continued worship of other gods, such as Asherah -- the head goddess of the older Canaanite pantheon and wife of the Canaanite god El).

but now, the Jews in exile embraced monotheism. these Babylonian gods they were hearing about were all just aspects of Hashem, and so worshipping them separately was a denial of G-d's oneness. the Jews created their own versions of the stories they were hearing, but instead of telling stories of the exploits of the gods, they told humanistic stories about the Jewish people, and our covenant with Hashem.

the Jews declared through the Shema prayer, "Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad". "Hear, O Yisrael (aka "Hear, O Jewish people"), the Lord is our G-d, the Lord is One".

so that is why G-d both causes the flood, and also saves Noach, his family, and the animals.

in Judaism, G-d is G-d. and that is how Judaism has survived. G-d is being-ness itself. G-d is "I AM THAT I AM".

in Parshah Shemot (Exodus) 3:13-14 (which is this week's parshah):

Moshe said to G-d, “When I come to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The G-d of your fathers’ [house] has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is [G-d’s] name?’ what shall I say to them?” And G-d said to Moshe, “I AM THAT I AM (Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh),” continuing, “Thus shall you say to the Israelites, ‘I AM (Ehyeh) sent me to you.’”

so maybe before ex-Christians open their ignorant mouths and say, "wow, you Jews worship a really angry G-d, don't you", or "i hate the Old Testament because G-d is so angry there", maybe they should fucking educate themselves about Judaism, instead of just parroting back the antisemitic, supersessionist bullshit they heard their preachers screaming at them from the pulpit.

i get so angered when ex christians take stories from the "Old Testament' share them without context and say "how can this be a loving G-D?! Checkmate!' When what they should have vexations with is the conditional salvation of the New Testament, not the tales of the Jewish people.

Also, what you were taught about New Testament G-D vs the Old Testament G-D is highly dependent on the christian belief that Jesus redeemed the world. Where through supersessionism teachings, old G-D was a big old meanie and now He's nice and fluffy for us Christians who've accepted him. By mindlessly reiterating this point, you contribute to virile antisemitism, delegitimize the relationship Jewish people have with Hashem, by shaping this around yourself and your own angst.

I say this as a person who no longer practices christianity and whose entire viewpoint collapsed the day I realized I had no faith in the church- deconstruct your faith in a way relevant to the structure you grew up with. Not what you see as witty one liners and in the ridicule of religious texts that belong to a 5,000 year old tribe.

Feeling very normal about this one tbh. Guy who did not see who was driving that car the first time around (when Haibara seemingly freaked out for no reason) but he did most likely make note of the license plate and model so that when he spotted it again he'd be able to hide Haibara from view in time

Same. 😖

This has destroyed my trust and faith in the Democratic Party. I am so disgusted.
