1. Other nations DID believe their gods were very close, though. The reason why most of the sky father archetype of gods are also usually the god of hospitality (see Zeus) is because hospitality was a BIG DEAL back then. Why/ Any traveller could be a god in disguise. Hell, in the Greek version of the flood myth, Zeus floods just a town, not the entire world, but it was because its people had shunned him, except for one family, whose house was therefore saved from ruin. It's kind of the flood meets Sodom and Gomorrah. 2. Also, the Mi'kmaq, by this point in history, would have already been doing better than ancient Palestine with their rules. The Enlightenment started in Europe because French sailors encountered and spent time with the Mi'kmaq, and brought their laws home. There was, until that point, no CONCEPT of social or gender equality in all of Europe. Why do you think the Enlightenment began at roughly he same time as the, ahem, "discovery" of "New France" (i.e. Mi'kmaqi)? And they'd already been a Nation for a long-ass time and refined their ways of life. And they weren't he first or only Indigenous Nation to do this: it's just that they were the closest to where the French landed in Canada. They're pretty damn big up here: all of Nova Scotia and PEI, the eastern half of Quebec, and the northern half of New Brunswick. Go look at a map: a lot of the Canadian provinces are bigger than several American states put together. 3. The whole idolatry thing is even a big deal NOW, though: there are people like Baptist Fundamentalists who say Catholics are Christian because they bow to images: Jesus on the cross, images of the saints, Mother Mary...and that's a sticking point for a lot of people. 4. 613. There are 613 rules in the Tanakh. But the Decalogue are KIND OF considered the most important, though you'll still find Orthodox Jews who really do adhere to all 613. 5. What you say about 4:25-31 is actually one of the reasons why so many Holocaust Survivors became Atheists. Like, this was in no way universal, but a lot of them believe(d) that God had flat-out abandoned them. Why let SO MANY PEOPLE die. They couldn't all have been horrible people, or couldn't all have disobeyed any or every law in the Tanakh. 6. Hebrew narrative (not even Jewish yet: the Babylonian Exile hadn't happened yet on the Biblical timeline, though this stuff WAS written down during the Exile) in this case, not Christian. Yet. It would be another several hundred years. But there WERE gods in the old pantheons who claimed this or that bit of land as theirs: Babylon was the city of the god Marduk, for example, and the island of Cythera was claimed by Aphrodite, and the islet of Delos was claimed by Artemis and Apollo, the twin gods of moon and sun, respectively, who were born there. Re claimed the city of Memphis, where the ancient Egyptian capital was, Shiva claimed Benares in India, Vishnu/Krishna (same person, different form) claimed Vrindavana...you get the idea. As to South America, by the way, I don't believe there were specific cities for specific gods, but places like Tenochtitlan and Mache Picchu were dedicated to many gods at the same time.

That "...have no graven images" bit has always been a sticky point. Graven means man-made or made by the hands of man.

Jews don't have any kind of statue of God, Catholics have crucifixes and saint statues, which Protestants consider idolatry, and both Muslims and Jews consider the worship of Jesus as idolatry since he was human (maybe they have a point since in the New Testament Jesus says that all his power comes from God). Now, some people consider Muslims praying towards the Mecca as idolatry because it's just a big rock, so who knows, those rules about idolatry and graven images are just crazy.

[@qbasicmichael]

When i was still a believer, this was one of my favorite chapters of the bible. It is some of the most glorious, most fanatically yahweh-devoted language ever written, and is effective and well written propaganda. Deuteronomy is the book of the bible most fanatically in love with yahweh. I wanted to believe that this was quoting moses, and that moses was telling the truth. That they had heard jehovah's words from the fire on the mountain. That jehovah loved and saved israel, that he was israel's father and shepherd. That jehovah was a god merciful and gracious, keeping the covenant for thousands that love him, and keep his commandments. A couple wrong translations: "the lord" should be "yahweh" or "jehovah". "Ten commands" should be "ten words". "This body of laws" should be "all the law" or "all the torah". "Heavenly array" should be "army of the heavens". If yahweh existed, he would be justified in having an infinite ego. Laws, once perfected, should almost never be changed. Good law should be simple and timeless, especially criminal law. One nice thing about forbidding additions, is that anytime someone like ezra or nehemiah comes along and tries to invent a new law, you can tell them to kick rocks. Mordechai orders you to celebrate a new holiday of purim? No, that's not in deuteronomy. Ezra orders you to divorce your ashdodite wives? No, that is not in deuteronomy. (Although it does say to obey the levite or the judge. But the levite would be reciting deuteronomy, not inventing new commands.) The torah here he is talking about is deuteronomy alone, not exodus, not leviticus, not numbers. Deuteronomy presents itself as standing alone. In actuality, this book was formulated around the time of josiah, and the babylonian conquest. So that part about a few survivors seeking yahweh in exile is a response to the conquest of israel by assyria and/or the conquest of judah by babylon.

Because getting rid of a dumb rule means you’re actually being critical of the entire Bible.” Interesting Hemant, can you explain the difference between the idiotic and dumb rule and the wrong rule? “Egypt and Babilonia just to name two, had codified laws long before the Israelites escaped from Egypt. God thinks He’s special because no one has ever come up with a rulebook before, even though they totally have.” Wow Hemant, “they totally have.” How exciting when you read and quote the Biblical text and switch over to the excuse of ‘codified laws’. “A volcano erupted. It’s not that unusual.” Right, and the fact that nobody died from anything volcanic while standing at the very base of the volcano, or Moses and the elders who climbed up the volcano into the 100 degree clouds, is not unusual either. “We have no idea what’s going on in the lives of everyone else who’s not part of the Christian narrative.” Speak for yourself Hemant, besides this is NOT the “Christian narrative”. “And the Bible can’t be wrong about anything, can it?!” Isn’t that what this series is about? “I mean, you show me proof God did all that and I would believe too.” Just like you proving everything wrong in the Bible?

"indeed along with the rest of the world, as apologists explain, that’s why Jesus came; besides what is there to alter with good laws?" Matthew 5:17. He did not. "Right, and the fact that nobody died from anything volcanic while standing at the very base of the volcano, or Moses and the elders who climbed up the volcano into the 100 degree clouds, is not unusual either." It's not a fact. It's a story.

@@rageofheaven What do you mean “Matthew 5:17. He did not.”? Sure it’s a story, like other histories, but did any of them die from volcanic activity or the clouds?

Yahweh is basically just a forge/volcano/blacksmith God which is frickin sweet enough on its own, no need for this lame-ass book trying to reinvent his reputation as lord of everything. Big ego not cool

Brother, this video shows you exactly how good God is. Follow me… the chapter and verse you read is from the Old Testament. The Old Testament not only refers to the books Genesis through Malachi, it also talks about the covenant God had with Man. The Bible had to show an overwhelming amount of rules and laws and unattainable standards of righteousness to contrast with the Covenant that believers are under today. We call this the New Covenant. We are no longer bound to ANY of those laws because Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Jesus was a perfect sacrifice. So now instead of following a million rules, asking for forgiveness daily and offering animal sacrifices we simply have to believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God and his sacrifice paid for our sins and gives us eternal life. We are now saved by Grace through our faith. Our behavior no matter how good or how bad is not the key to our salvation. It is our faith and faith alone. Aren’t we blessed to have such a merciful God!!! Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today and live a life of peace, joy and victory. I love all of you and God does too. ✝️

Yes, your god loves me so much that he will torture me for eternity in his custom made pit of fire if I don’t love him back; well what greater love is there!

Just came across this channel (which i must say is interesting but is also the very reason why I dont like some atheists) I wondered how judgemental you'll be about Deuteronomy 28 seeing that what is written in it is true, this is more apparent when you look at how wealthy Jews are.

[@rageofheaven]

All Jews are wealthy? That's news to me. Here I was thinking there was a correlation to people who were well educated and proficient in finance would do well in investments and business management, but I guess it's all just god doing it. Dumbass.

[@josephdaughtry1371]

Man. You go to great lengths to disassemble people from their beliefs. So much so that it seems you fear others having different beliefs than you do. Do you get off on telling others that their beliefs are false? It sure seems that way. What you are doing is no different than the preacher's you rail against. As if your interpretation of the bible is the only correct one.
