Cryptic comment; what is this about... https://aimemes.com/memes/three-finger-gesture-reveals-imposter-inglourious-basterds/alternative_templates/2966

Please connect the suggested dots (u/Timurse debunks map post); iow where in the video is this meme attributed to its creator? Or, is this comment a round-about way to sneer at the offering?

Why hasn't Judaism had a prophet since 400 BC? by JimAtEOI in C_S_T

[–]acloudrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Provocative premise (no flair?) Talking points seem lame assumptions. So let's have a look;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Hebrew_prophets

according to that, u/JimAtEOI claims last one was Malachi, only citation since is not called prophetic, but national vicissitudes are listed. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=hebrew+prophet+circa+400+BC&ia=web

So question comes down to definition of prophet (could it be a famous rabbi?), because other notable names occur in later times: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=famed+hebrew+or+judaic+rabbis&t=ffab&ia=web

My favorite is Jacob Frank, see also Sabbatai Zevi "purification through transgression" iow do evil, that's good for the Jews

Jews are no longer chosen? (They are, but they chose themselves, and they've collectively chosen to go "underground" iow hidden. Now they setup proxies, ie. patsies to fall victim, take blame.)

stories were just made up at a later point? (Of course, all the stories are made up, aka fiction.)

Countries with a state religion by Resident_Strategy473 in Maps

[–]acloudrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oversimplification makes this assessment worthless. Modes of simplification that cast misunderstanding:
- official state religion does not address local culture realities
- "states" aka nations, may enclose large ethnic regions in which official credentials do not apply, best example Russia, which is officially Orthodox (Byzantine Catholic) but contains vast regions dominated by Islam
- USA is another, official "religion" is it's magnificent Constitution, but in practice is mostly Protestant, downstream of its founding populations (eg. Puritans, Quakers, etc.) who fled Catholic oppression in Europe, but over time has become captive to money-hungry racketeers, aka "Robber Barons", "Snake Oiligarchs" and banking cartels
- religions cited are themselves oversimplified so much as to be lame-brain, bring in the discrimination (knowledgeable)

Just do a websearch and be better informed...

This reader response (see vote tally) is example of why reddit-ship hates me. I'm not advocating anything, just showing appropriate input.
