    100 languages, 100 different translations. Then translated from dead languages. Then changed to suit a tyrant. Then translated back to another language.

    If you think any of that original fiction is still there, you’re a fucking idiot. If you don’t think it’s fiction, you’re an even bigger idiot.

      This is the point of view that I’ve had since elementary school after a game of “Telephone”.

      If you can’t put 6 people in a line, whisper something to the first, and have the same thing come from the last, what are the chances any of those books contain any original text? Especially when you have sycophantic rulers like Orange Hitler looking to bilk the masses and trying to rule the world.

      Religion is a tool of fear and control to keep the population where you want them. It is broadly and repeatedly used to justify the absolute worst actions in humanity. Religion is the fuel that makes individuals hate entire countries of people they have never met.

        Literally been carrying that all my life, too. It definitely doesn’t seem like most people took that message away from the game.

      The Torah has been preserved in Hebrew, but changed in writing over time. The Quran has been preserved in Arabic and the original text is preserved, which is also why the language is preserved.

      Your argument is factually wrong and calling all Jews, Muslims and Christians “fucking idiots” is racist and antisemitic.

        Racist and antisemitic are not the right terms here. Please let us know why you think it is factually wrong to call Muslims and Christians “fucking idiots”.

          The Torah is where the ten commandments first are written down. By Jews in Hebrew.

          And just not mentioning a group explicitly, does not mean you dont attack them.
