Supposedly it is a coded matrix which can be read backwards and vertically and reveal much deeper layers of meaning. I know from experience it is highly benevolent and sweet, I know this from the small bits Ive slowly learned to process, but it gets very angry, of course, when those it tries to protect are at risk. I can imagine that. I don't know what is bad about protecting ones people and I do not know what is reasonable about trying to translate a book of magical arrangement of characters in the superficial shape of a narrative into a plain old story.
In as far as my studies of historical Judaism have taught me, it is clearly the Hasidim and the other well dressed ones who get most out of it - they simply have vowed the most truthful vow, and vow it every day - they are, for better or worse, people of their people. Thats how you "win at life". Evidently.
And Jews have been excellent at receiving consent by simply being interesting and intellectually fruitful. They've given power but never enforced their book on anyone.

I too am sort of insane, Ive needed a place where one can use ones intelligence and anger at the same time.
Something to hammer on.
I did hammer on others indiscriminately as well. I was never quite as far gone as you, Ecman, though. I don't know what to say.

I'm not trying to denigrate you anymore than just giving people the power to define their false gods. Once they define these, they realize that they're their own gods. Lots of people are scared of this! Yes. No god has stated the obvious, that nobody wants their consent violated, now what are you going to do about it? It's a good question!

Well, you look, um, handsome.
Your posts do make more sense now that I know your face.
