i really will never understand people who don’t *heavily* question what they read in religious texts because i’m on chapter four of genesis (thanks Serial Reader app) and already spent close to an hour googling questions where most of the links that come up are christian answer/analysis sites that literally say “Obviously, _____” and then something I don’t find obvious and is actually very debatable imo

#thank you jewish websites that give multiple perspectives and basically end with a 🤷‍♀️ #god i would be hell to have in a bible study group or class because i would ask a question about every single verse #for example how is abel raising sheep bc pastoralism didn’t exist yet #and then i have to take a deep breath and remember this is a story and an allegory etc #and people thousands of years ago didn’t really have anthropology #nora screams into the void #but this post in particular is about the use of plural pronouns for god #and one site said it was obviously a reference to the trinity #bitch this text is originally jewish; do you think they were talking about the christian trinity??!!? #the jewish site said it was basically the royal we #also sometimes the king james version is just completely incomprehensible but that’s all the app has #but it also has the quran so i might fuck around and read that too when i’m done
