Ok I think you need to understand that our way of thinking also decides our basic morals. If you see God as bad because he is narcissistic that's your hunan brain your very limited human brain. As God created us I don't give a toss if he's narcissistic ill do what he says cause im not tryna be punished. I struggle with religion because I'm trying to find one that works, I believe in God but I want to find a religion that is best because I don't want to fucking upset my creator. Our dumb little human brains saying God is narcissistic because he wants his creations to fucking do what he says is stupid. Its like you're animating something and it doesn't do what you want it too, it's your creation even if it has a brain it still should do what you want or you would definetly be frustrated.

1. Can you grow kiwi in Palestine? That would be sweet. Literally. I can eat an entire kiwi on my own, including skin if I'm hungry. I freaking love them. I kind of assume the priests eat the food after the people leave, though, because, remember, the priests are predominantly Levites, and God said they can't have their own stuff. I guess this is where the Catholic vow of poverty comes from for a priest...? No idea, though. 2. God gives them the land peacefully, eh...? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...sigh. Wait till Joshua. Next book. You're ALMOST out of the Pentateuch, almost. Getting real close. 3. One thing I do like is the "tenth of your stuff" thing. It set up not only the precedent for modern taxing in a lot of different countries, but also the almsgiving standard in Islam. They're meant to take 10% of their wealth every year to give to the poor. I like Islam for its equity politics, because, along with the alms, the fasting during the month of Ramadan is supposed to remind them of the suffering of the poor. You don't eat from sun-up to sun-down, you're going to feel it. At my college, students were even exempt from some assignments during Ramadan, but we had a high Muslim population. Oh, and in Islam, this is once EVERY year, not once every three years. I really need to read the Qur'an. Get some perspective. It's a hell of a lot shorter than the Bible.

Interesting Hemant, so now you’re saying who usually gives and receives gifts when moving into a new place, along with the notion that it’s your old plums and yet you confuse plums with kiwi while fighting to keep them: “But you will have to pry my kiwis from my cold, dead hands.” “Because no one’s gonna eat it.” And what makes you think that? “Sure we could give it to the poor and hungry. But God just wants to show you He’s powerful.” Interesting Hemant, you want to give your old plums which you confuse with kiwis that have to be forced out of your dead hand to the poor and hungry when previously you talked about the poor only getting the scraps and discarded foods off the ground, besides how can God be able to show anyone He’s powerful? Does He exist? “Who needs to hear this speech? Who’s the audience? There’s literally no one in the room who hasn’t heard all this, like, 100 times.” Really Hemant, you just answered your own question if you already know and if you don’t know how and what do you teach out of ignorance? There’s no mention of all the genocides and murders that were required for the Israelites to finally take control of the land.” Nicely said, perhaps because there were NO MURDERS in the first place. Interesting how you remember a detail of the person to set the basket before the Lord, and yet you forget about other details that you’ve read previously, like the type and amount of offering or how many murders were committed by God or the Israelites. However do you want to follow God’s rules and offerings? “and the people God doesn’t care about.” What makes you think that? “isn’t going to change the fact that I despise you.” Well don’t worry Hemant, when Jesus comes you’ll be free of all that is good, true, peaceful, loving and other such pleasantries. “I must have missed that.” Correct Hemant, as you missed countless other things. “It’s pointless.” Like your videos? If it is pointless why do you stick around the Bible and God so much, and especially put thoughts and words into the peoples minds and mouths?
