And i agree Judaism does attempt to flower under the Hellenes, we find Hebrews incorporating that Greek mode of rule, an assembly of rabbis, the Sanhedrin. This a major sea change in my book, this starts a more structured open dialogue where men are forced to gather in a semi-democratic way in assembly to discuss vigorously issues & voice opinions.
This is always going to produce more self awareness & evolutionary progress with such intellectual feedback. They copy this directly from the Macedonian ' Synedrion' , or judiciary assembly of the Greek style city polis. Are you going to tell me the Greeks ripped this off from the Hebrews too? Time to wake up from your fantasy, its infantile bullshit if you do.
(the Hebrews even had olympic games for a time, theatre, public baths, libraries and adopt the Macedonian template of the rule of caucus = synedrion into their midst, many big culturally advanced changes.) |
