Those using spiritual vocabulary are digging to get out of a hole. Those using spiritual verbiage lack a sense of quality control, Christians glued their books on to Jewish books, Mormons affixed their books on to them both. The religious are profoundly silly. Much to do about nothing, theology is weak sauce. One might expect a deity, if there were such a thing, would be known by everyone or is fudging the title a bit. The fraud of religious people is revealed by the failure rate of prayers in a children's hospital & the lack of mountains moving by verbal commands. Theologians grant themselves the title without any input from a deity & then use fantasyland vocabulary in academic settings, usually as a podium jockey with clergyman dress. But if I can't use my weak argument, then I don't have an argument at all. Those arguing God, get their knowledge of deity from the same place they get understanding of reason. Rather than a beacon of inspirational light, they are avoided like the old woman with too many cats. It was secular law & order ending the inquisitions & witch killing. Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital & even Jesus Christ proclaims faith is worthless if you can't get magic mountains to move when you practice verbal-command landscaping. No wonder Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. These are the wolves in sheep's clothing, you know them by their works: Who has honor while suggesting a reality-God? As if we did not have the saying: God helps those helping themselves, because the fiction is known for a perfect record of nothing-doing. Moreover, it cannot be moral or ethical to suggest there is a god. As if one should respect the suggestion, we all travel with one foot in fantasyland, using a fantasyland vocabulary. It is religious vocabulary fascism finds useful. Law is authorized from fantasyland & the workings are a mystery, unknown to the non-believers among the oppressed

‘War’ in Hebrew is milḥama, מִלְחָמָה (root: l-ḥ-m, ל-ח-ם).

As I repeatedly said for 30 years, the first master Fulani are the lightskin Hyksos (Turkic Akkadians with Amorites) and Berber of North Africa. These are the yellow Fulani from Libya to Mauritania. They raided West Africa continuously since 1500 BC and created slavery camps for their black vassals and mercenaries. The yellow and black Fulani are the Kushites. After the yellow Fulani were expelled from Spain and Portugal in 1492 AD they waged another invasion of the Nile Valley and created the rulers of Fur, Baggara, Jaalyeen, Bani Aamer, Funj and pseudo Arabs. The Hausa and others are vassals for the black Fulani. The master Fulani look like Syrians.

The Jewish god does collective punishment, proving to be a real jerk.
