Non-Jewish Laws evolved while Jewish Laws remained ancient precepts. You can't claim something that didn't begin with Jews, namely civil law and order. The non-Jewish world already had established laws that governed their people long before the Hebrews and Israelites came on the scene as "a people". Egypt as example. The abundant evidence is there in traditions of men throughout the world. I think you're the one in denial of what is clearly observable history in this regard. The Hebrew laws for slaves were their own. What angered the non-Jewish Roman world was Jews who wanted to continue enslaving non Jews[gentiles]. Romans said 'you can't do that anymore' and the Jews said 'war!', or something to that effect. So why didn't Jews make slaves of their own people, whip them, beat them, Jubilee them, or whatever? Why were Jews so insistent on owning Gentile slaves? Isn't it because Yahweh commanded them to enslave others rather than their own people? Of course Jews committed acts of atrocities, violence, law breaking, you name it they did it. I'm glad you finally admitted to this. Human rights did not come from Jewish precepts, for the god of the Jews said no rights were to be given to non Jewish people. Forced conversion of gentiles enabled the Jews to pretend to treat the gentiles with some less than often kindness, but basically non Jewish slaves were treated as property, cattle, beasts of the field, without dignity, without pity, without equal opportunity, and much more unkindnesses. Non Jewish people were said to be like animals, not like men - humans. A character profile attributed to Yahweh's judgment. That's what your Hebrew bible teaches in all its gory details. |

I don't think he's accurate, for what he's attempting to do is set-up a scenerio that isn't recorded as historical truth. He mentions lies by omission, of which he's guilty of in his holocaust 70 by not included the number of Roman casualties, nor that there was extended years of war with the Jews before Jerusalem got busted. Joseph is trying to construct an ancient halocaust museum and setting up Jews as idols to be recognized as the only people who suffered and died in those times. That's his game imo. And, I don't find history supporting it. |

Paul didn't write the Gospels, imo. I believe that Mark is a repudiation of the Jews and their god, since they were both dropped from the program. Of course, it's all just fantasy... |
