As a Jewish person I find that absolutely hilarious. For over two thousand years the foundation of Judaism has been the exact opposite. Nearly everything in the torah has been interpreted, reinterpreted, and then we fight over who has the best interpretations (of course some things can be viewed on a literal level but those are interpreted on multiple other levels as well). Also despite Christians stealing nearly everything from us Hell isn't one of them, I have no idea where they got that (probrally the pagans).
Did you know as a Jewish person, you are responsible for all the wars in the world? Because Mel seems to think so.
(I'm also Jewish, so I guess I'm also responsible. Must be our space lasers.)
Maybe your weather control devices?
Another possibility.
I'm still waiting for my turn on the space laser
I'm still waiting for my turn to run Hollywood.
When it's your turn can I have a show where I just yell at the camera about shit that pisses me off? I could easily fill a 40 minute spot. It will be low budget, just me standing In front of a dumpster yelling at a camera while my co host tries to censor me in real time.
You might have to wait for Lewis Black to retire.
Nah there's room for both of us. Plus I'm Aussie, I'll say cunt a lot more than he would.
Oh wow. Y'all have a way with swearing, cool level-headed ranting, and self-deprecating humor that the rest of us simply can't touch. Just start a YouTube channel - I'd watch it.
Meanwhile, I'll just start my morning with Get Krackin', now that the whole series is online.
Is that a yes or a no?
How good are you at avoiding uncomfortable topics that might make corporate angry?
Not very, I would probably air all my grievances with corporate in a weekly segment called "Shit my dumb fuck bosses said I couldn't say, but what are they gonna do, fire me?."
Sorry, can't help you. We need propaganda mouthpieces.
Could you pass it around at the next meeting? Maybe the next one will like it.
Ok, but if you control space lasers, can you please use them on a property in Florida? Asking for a friend. Like why not use these spaces lazorz to fry your enemies?
Sorry, too busy starting wildfires with them as part of our diabolical plan to do something or other.
Damnit, FS. At least share the plan with us! Lol
I'd tell you, but I'd have to circumcise you.
Too late.
Well then maybe we can take you on part-time. What are your feelings on Mel Brooks (WATCH WHAT YOU SAY NEXT!!!!)?
He's a fucking Gem, a national treasure, and i wish he was Canadian too!
Well... okay.
I wore through my Robin Hood men in tights vhs when I was young I watched it so much. Mel is a very funny man
Oh sure, you loved that movie. The people in the movie, not so much.
They clearly aren't circumcised then :D
Hmmm, must be the death star of David :3
Hey can you guys maybe chill on the whole global dominance and financial manipulations. Some of us just want to go to work, pay are taxes and die early.
Thanks
No can do, sorry. We have to force the world to eat gefilte fish.
Fucking cartoon villains. The lot of you.
(Sorry not racists just playing the part)
While my wife and I were evangelical Christians in college we attended a few Jewish events for part of a religious study class she was taking. That is definitely what stood out to me, too. While it's difficult to really make definitive statements about Christianity as a whole because it's so varied, the type we were familiar with from our Bible belt upbringing was definitely more about a pretty literal interpretation about everything. It was very fascinating to learn that Jewish people are much more practical about their interpretation. For context, growing up I'd say a good bit of the people in my church viewed remarrying after divorce as adultery because marriage is meant to be forever.
One thing I remember finding fascinating was like the layers of annotations on scripture. Like people would annotate annotations with their responses and stuff.
The Talmud, which is basically a bunch of Rabbis arguing about what the Torah means, is almost as important as the Torah itself.
There's a famous phrase in Jewish culture: two Jews, three opinions.
It's been the same with Christianity for most of the 2000 years it has existed. Christians had so many different interpretations they have been split up into splinter groups as early as 30 years after Jesus death.
Literalism is a pretty new concept, rougthly from the late 19th century.
If anybody is interested about the history, I can recomend Center Place`s newest video, a progressive church that has a lot of historical and very scholary lectures about Christianity and Judaism (no preaching or converting). Their lectures playlist is a treasure. And I say this as a very much not Christian or Jewish person.
Here is their video on Literalism
That doesnt sound very similar (or the same), in Judaism while there are many different factions its not only common but encuraged for people within a faction to disagree on interpretation. Jewish schools teach the art of studying torah, understanding torah, interpreting the torah, and then arguing over said interpretations.
Christianity is fear, and Judaism is clever loopholes. Fear you will go to hell versus you'll get into the kingdom eventually, one way or another.
