Jews believe that world was created in 6 days - with God resting on the 7th day. This occurred about 7000 years ago. Well - wrong! We now know that the universe is about 15 billion years old. But the Jews still believe it anyhow. Now - many Jews will admit that this is probably wrong. In fact - probably most of them. So then - why the obsession with the Sabbath and all the stupid rituals associated with it. Isn't it time to pull that one from the Ten Commandments? Well - can't do that because God gave Moses those commandments .... except that never happened either. Noah and the Ark - never happened. Tower of Babel ... never happened. It's all just stories and none of it ever occurred. It just isn't real.
The Jewish god is modeled after the early oppressive kings. In those times kings had absolute power and if they got in a bad mood - they might have thousands slaughtered. Since God is the supreme king - then he would be the ultimate oppressor. The God of the Bible fits this model. He's a tyrant who loses his temper and slaughters a lot of people when he gets pissed off. And he gets pissed off because he's not worshiped the right way. Think about it - God needs animal sacrifices? The being that created all the universe - all the galaxies - needs people to sacrifice animals to it? hmmmmm ... do you buy that? The God of the Jews is nothing more than a petty tyrant modeled after their petty tyrant kings - and that's according to THEIR beliefs!
So - if the Bible isn't real - then God didn't pick the Jews as the "Chosen People" and Jews are just ordinary people - just like all the rest of us. If you give up the Old Testament - then you have no basis for claiming that God gave you property in the Middle East. It takes away your justification for slaughtering Muslims because it puts you on the same level as they are. Jews of course believe that they are superior to Muslims and are therefore justified in taking their land.
Just as Muslims believe they are God's chosen people and they are justified in slaughtering Jews and taking they land. But the reality is - Muslims and Jews are both pigs and maybe if they spend a few more hundred years slaughtering each other, they might learn that it makes more sense to get along and build on reality and work together to lift each other up. Or - at least there will be less of them to contaminate the knowledge pool of humanity.
God never gave any land to any group of people. Those who slaughter others in the name of God are religious terrorists, nothing more.
The God of the Jews is week and stupid. If God were judged by today's standards - he would be criminally insane and we would execute him as a mass murdered. After all - according to the Bible - God slaughtered all the first born males of Egypt! God mass murders children! What kind of a supreme being is that? Of course - that nothing compared to the Great Flood where God supposedly slaughtered almost everything on the planet. This is a guy who has serious problems. And - God is male - because - well - I guess because God has a penis. What God does with his penis is still a mystery - but we know he has one - otherwise - he wouldn't be a he.
