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.)
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
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.
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.
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.
Poor, poor Mel boy. He is in dire need of mental help and adult supervision.
Aw it was sad that all of Mel's Nazi memorabilia burned to a crisp.

Sounds like a future congressman
I'm honestly surprised he hasn't run for office now that you mention it.
There still a few years until the apocalypse is really in full swing.
Mel Gibson is the kind of "Christian" that has a meltdown if anybody dares to point out that Jesus most likely didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes.
I'm pretty sure Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson believe that those massive fires are caused by liberal CA government.
Some niggling part of my brain keeps wondering if ivermectin is actually a crazy cure for cancer, could anyone break down the science for me? I have a decent understanding of molecular biology, but no idea about what ivermectin is chemically or how it would play in
It kills parasitic infections caused by worms. Cancer is not a parasitic infection caused by a worm. It's like asking if a mouse trap can fix climate change. No, because they are in no way related.
If you want to know the specific mechanism involved, it has to do with properties worms have but mammals don't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin#Mechanism_of_action
It kills parasitic infections caused by worms. Cancer is not a parasitic infection caused by a worm. It’s like asking if a mouse trap can fix climate change. No, because they are in no way related.
That's not a convincing argument. It suffices to say that ivermectin was considered as a candidate for a cancer drug as early as 2018, with a proposed mechanism of action and everything. It's not as simple as "cancer is not a parasitic infection", because pharmacology is never this simple. That paper also mentions positive study results both in vitro and in vivo. There is also a lot of later research (search ivermectin cancer
on google scholar), but it's potentially biased by the horrifying memetic war that happened in America during the covid pandemic.
My conclusion from ten minutes of googling is that quite possibly it's a real weak anti-cancer drug much like the already-known ones. It's hard to be sure of those things - we're in an age where there's enough research and publication bias and politics that you can't trust individual studies^1^. And you can't fully trust meta-analyses either, but I can't even find a meta-analysis of ivermectin as used for cancer, so.
(It's pretty safe to say that it's not an amazing cancer drug much better than all existing ones (like some people seem to think) - both on priors, and because if that was the case it'd be extremely obvious from all of the studies already made.)
^1^ I don't mean fraud, I mean that if a hundred teams over the globe try a study of something that doesn't work, five of them will find p<0.05 results by pure chance and quite possibly only those teams will publish it - so until several good replications come along, it'll look like there's a real and well-supported effect. And there can be much subtler problems than this - see, say, how well the studies of psychic powers go.
Okay, that's a fair enough response and I learned something, so thank you.
I mean, if you drank enough of it, I'm sure the cancer would stop growing.
It works similarly to the traditional bleach cure in that regard. Both are 100% effective if used properly.
