      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

      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

      Depends on the book! Some of them are pretty cool and exciting, and some of them are beautiful, but a lot of them are boring as shit. Even i haven't made it through every single one (i skipped a bunch of the really dull ones)

      I don't know what is like in other languages, but if you buy the wrong bible in portuguese you are in for a surprise. The bible used in the catholic church I used to go to had so many absurd words, almost like dragon speech. Teenage me didn't have any patience to read that 🤷🏽

      You mean it's archaic but traditional the way the King James Version is in English?

      I have no idea about what that version is like, but I mean that it used some old words almost forgotten. Like, really, stuff that you only find in the bible.

      Quick Google says that the dominant Portuguese translation of the Catholic Bible is still the "Pereira Version", completed by Fr. Antônio Pereira de Figueiredo in 1790, hence the archaic language

          And there's a second translation created by Fr. Mathos Soares in 1942 that's the most popular Catholic translation among actual readers in Brazil but that's disdained for being a very "free" translation from the original text

          That explains a lot. The "thee" "thou", isn't so bad because we have a lot of TV shows that are set before the abolition of slavery. I guess the equivalent in portiguese would be "vós" and "vosmecê", and we are kinda used to it, but anything beyond that is too much.
