      Can you explain what the talmud is?

      The central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology. Talmud: Schene luchoth haberuth, p 250b "Although the non-Jew has the same body structure as the Jew, they compare with the Jew as a monkey to a human." Supremacism anyone?

      This is false -- the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law and Jewish theology is the Torah, the Bible The Talmud is a record of successive attempts at interpretation of that text, which frequently argue with and contradict each other

      The Talmud is several thousand years' worth of printed-out forum threads about the Tanakh.

      The fact that Christian antisemites in the American fundamentalist tradition specifically say that the Talmud is the "Jewish Bible" is an enormous absurdity and points to the deep intellectual impoverishment of their own tradition

      Replying to @arthur_affect @iridienne and

      as an aside, it's interesting to watch the local antisemite approach the talmud the way that evangelicals approach their bible namely, by pulling random badly-translated quotes out of context and then pondering "their inner meaning" or whatever

      Evangelicals don't even actually read the Bible They're, and I cannot emphasize this enough as a former evangelical, so fucking stupid

      The Christian Bible as a whole isn't *that* long a book if it's your one sacred text that you're supposed to spend your whole life studying and basing your sense of morality and ethics on But for years I was like the only person I knew who could say I'd "read the whole Bible"

      Forcing you to make it through the whole Bible in one year was this challenge my church's Bible study set for everyone that most people frankly didn't even bother to pretend not to cheat through Reading an individual book of the Bible *as a book*, straight through, is haaaard

      The primary way evangelicals "read" the Bible, as prooftexts in fortune-cookie snippet form, is such total utter bullshit It's the most disrespectful thing you can do to any text, much less a "sacred" one

      In hindsight I'm so actively angry at the kind of shit they did to indoctrinate us in Sunday school "Sword drills" (based on the Word of God being the "sword of the Spirit" in Ephesians 6:17) where you just rote memorized Bible verses as a challenge to get candy

          And it's not even the rote memorization that gets me It's that it's an *arbitrary list of verses collated by the teacher* Random one-line snippets from a dozen different documents written hundreds of years apart in wildly different contexts that all contain the word "love"

          Like oh my fucking God Out in the secular world we talk about people who buy books of quotable quotes and just memorize "quotes about the brutality of war" to bust out and sound cool instead of ever actually reading the whole book the quote came from

          I grew up in a Southern Baptist church, and I can remember Bible Verse Quizzes and the like that I never won because I hadn't spent time memorizing the Bible. Good way to make a little kid feel like shit there, Christians.

          I was raised atheist so the first time I found out about 'sword drills' as an adult I made a face like a codfish.
