    Does that mean all those wars were fueled by human greed or want of power?

      I have zero problems with the Pope retconning the bible into a more peaceful, anti-war version.

        It’s just a weird thing to claim when their holy book literally contains divine commandments to slaughter specific tribes down to the last man, woman and child, and one major character’s downfall is painted as being a result of him not genociding hard enough when told to.

      The Crusades are a more recent example.

      This bible shit might still be owning the world… https://youtu.be/WFWizN3QoPg

      It’s all aligning… Shit Robert maxwell and the Epstein stuff aligns… Right up to trump and Israel… Even my own personal experiences with freemason’s aligns with it.

      Makes me want to study islam. Maybe the “terrorists” were right. And that aligns too… Pretty sure Islamic places ban Freemasonry.

    Oh, that same god (El, later Yahweh) that in ancient Semitic religions is literally a war god? That one?
