My doctor’s name is Bruce and he’s a schlemiel. Does that help the OP?
Apologies for the typographical error I inadvertently made in the original posting of this statement. Didn’t notice it until after the “Edit” option was no longer available. The comment I was referring to might not violate any Rules, but it was rude and it ticked me off! I’ll refrain from using the more-common excretory form of that statement, as ticked is a decent euphemism.
As for more proof of who the Kenites are, it is they to whom Christ speaks in John 8:38-47. It is also those to whom John 3:12 refers. I hope that has stated the answer with sufficient clarity.
I’m anti-Zionist but not anti-semitic. As an African-American, I can’t tell Jews apart from the rest of the white populace (though I’m sure others are more astute). I was surprised to learn the guy who played the main character in Transformers (the movie) was Jewish though my friends claim he is “obviously” Jewish. I guess I just don’t “see” the differences like others. When I think of “Jews” I think about the brave men and women who fought along my aunts and uncles to break segregation in the U.S. during the 50-60’s. When I think of “Israel” I think of state-of-the-art tanks bulldozing ramshackle shanties of dark-skinned people. Totally different (but admittedly divergent) views about Israel and Jews. <shrug> Even when I claim “anti-Zionist” I refer the treatment of the Palestinians and the Arab-Israelis not that Israel should be forcibly located to some other region.
Please don’t flame me. I’m just being . . . well . . . read the username.
As long as we’re citing Chris Rock, he’s got a joke about this, too.
I’ll repeat this, Mister Obvious: for those of us who don’t take the Bible literally and realize almost all of it is myths in support of moral and religious principles rather than history, what evidence can you provide, and what difference does any of this make?
I was thinking of the correct word, but didn’t notice the typographical error until after it was too late to edit the post and correct it. I think it might be time for bifocals.
No, not really.
Riffing off the “Beverly Hillbillies” thing earlier.
You didn’t get the reference because Satan has clouded your mind. Or perhaps opossums.

You know what’s about the right size to bruise heels?
That’s right - opossums.
Coincidence? I think not.
And when I think of Palestinians I think of people who make common cause with the anti-Semitic misgogynists who run Iran and Saudi Arabia, teach their kids stuff right of Hitler’s Germany, idolize people who decide that murdering innocent people sitting in pizza parlors is a form of acceptable protest, vote for people who resemble the KKK and have a covenant that calls for the murder of all Jews and in general want to establish a Jew free state that would not welcome anyone but the sort of religious fanatics who resemble Muslim versions of Mr. Obvious.
I would personally be delighted to see the establishment of a liberal state there, one resembling say New York City complete with gay pride parades. But I don’t think that’s what the majority of the Palestinians and I don’t see why I, a liberal Jewish woman, should support their cause.
Please don’t flame me either.
There’s a squirrel in my backyard right now. I fear a plot’s afoot.
Wrong. The serpent is a serpent, The Adversary is a totally different character. What, do you need a list of dramatis personae or something? Anyways, moving on:
This is just babbling. The point was that there would be enmity between serpents and humans. And if the serpent fucked Eve, then Cain would have been her seed too. Do you need the mechanics of gametogenesis explained to you? To say nothing of genetics, anatomy, the mechanics of human conception, etc…
Do we need to have a talk about the ‘birds and the bees’, Obvious? I hate to be the one to have to inform you, but mommy and daddy have to both be human to produce a Little Obvious.
Someone says a snake tricked them and they ate a piece of fruit (in a fairy tale, no less) and you think that means they had sex and spawned an entire race of devil-babies. Something tells me you’re reading something into the story.
It’s probably pretty clear what you’re doing when you have to go “Well, I think what God meant to say is…”
Mister Obvious: God’s editor. Has a ring to it, but I’m not sure how it’d look on a resume.
Enough boring anecdotes about fixing parts and running your business. Get to the good racism. Tell us how you identify the real conspirators from the fake ones, how you can tell the real Jews from the fake ones, and why you believe an ancient bronze age book that you’re deliberately mistranslating to pretend that a serpent is Satan and Hebrew linguistic conventions prove a second race of demon-babies.
You’re not being very entertaining.
Ooooh, scarebold! Cool. Now please explain what this endgame plan is, it sounds evil. Do the (false, real, decaf?) Jews round up all the Christians and force them to build a giant spaceship which will then take us to Jewtopia? Do tell.
Wait, he also blames all of his life’s problems on a shadow conspiracy that he made up based on a patent fiction relying on hatred and rationalizations and which uses an ancient book of mostly fictional stories as a genetics textbook?
Damn, you two really do have a lot in common.
Well, dayum. If white-history.com says so, we know it’s true.
Naw, you could just state that. But it’s okay, we all know that they were a fake created by evil racist scum to cause misery and suffering for the Jews and that any coincidences in the “predictions” and actual reality have nothing to do with the inherent validity of the conspiracy nonsense itself. Just like if I claimed that next week it’ll probably be pretty cold in some places and said that was because you are constantly violating the Tenth Commandment with vim and vigor, it still wouldn’t be proof.
White Supremacists, anti-Semites, Christian Identity types, and so on.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
It is of course very interesting that you’re dropped your claims that only insulting a few individuals with stereotypes which are applied to their whole group isn’t, in fact, racism. Good show, even if you’ll probably revert in a moment.
Now hurry up and get to making up quotes that he’s supposed to have said. Then provide the actual works that you’re drawing them from instead of just citing Stormfront again. These vague “well he said some mean stuff!” scaremongering is way below the kind of racism we’re expecting here.
I know that this is evidently your pattern, you identify an actual historical figure and then just set about making stuff up about them, and when caught you tell anecdotes about managing an alleged business or what have you and talk about how people are sheeple for not just accepting whatever you say as, ahem, gospel. But go on, let’s see this “supremacism” that he was so chock full of.
Satan has clouded my opossums? Again? And I just cleaned them…
It’s funny, Satan is a very, very minor character in Jewish theology. He’s, essentially, God’s DA and he only really factors majorly into one story. This fascination with “Satan this” and “Satan that” and pretending that various characters are really Satan-in-disguise is just weird.
You’d think that, somewhere, the Torah would bother to say “Oh yeah, and the serpent was The Adversary too.” Instead we generally get get lame post hoc explanations from Christians who tell us that since a book they wrote much later says something about Satan and a serpent or what have you, that a totally separate book written centuries previously was using the same literary convention.
It’d be like me writing Hamlet: The Revenge in order to show that Shakespeare really meant that the melancholy Dane was a terminator sent back in time to kill Ophelia, who would give birth to John Connor.
It’s just not very convincing or very good literary analysis, is all I’m sayin’.
There’s a word for this, or a phrase, where a person says what they really mean by accident. They’re trying to keep their thoughts and hidden secret desires under wraps, and the suddenly - oh my - they’ve said what they really mean, not what they were trying to say. It’s like the truth just slips out.
I think Freud might have commented on this once.
After Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I’d go for it.
Man, I hate it when that happens…
In Hebrew, though, the commandment still reads “Do not murder.”, so in Judaism, the commandment is preserved. The people who mistranslated it were the translators of King James, none of whom were Jewish.
So the cop-buddy-movie trope originated with the Torah?
Satan: “Let’s get them!”
God: “I’m too old for this shit.”
Sometimes, a talking snake is just a talking snake.
This entire thread has been a blast. Thanks everyone. For those that have seen the new Star Trek film, I feel like Scotty when he first gets on the bridge of the Enterprise as all this shit is going down: “I like this thread! You know, it’s exciting!”
Holy shit. I want to read this.
