Asked about your silly historical theories ....I am a minimalist who's well supported by both fact, archaeology analysis & historical record. A school of thought as you well know is supported by many of the most respected scholars on earth (not preachers & apologists)

When asked what God is, you said 'Love" but given the subject here you are swinging wide in the wrong ballpark then. If you wish to consider all the examples of maternal instinct found in nature as an expression of 'Love", then i would agree it is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful for higher mammalian survival. Which would include primates. Jesus did not discover anything new there nor was he the only one who was crucified or suffered greatly. On the subject of suffering, Buddha covered that to the source without the unrealty & childishness, but directly to the cause.

(And he did so without reliance on imaginary deities & wand waving)

And you well know am not a big fan of Abrahamic tradition, its fabricated histories & branchings have no appeal to my mind & experience. I believe strongly that they need to be updated & brought into current world reality. This is not antisemitic for here i am also joined by some of the greatest modern secular Jewish thinkers such as Albert Einstein & many many more.



(And we watch the world in the ME unfold today, more medieval Abrahamic religious nonsense from which the world grows weary, these primitive childish superstitions)
