Without you all, there is no future to Judaism the ethno-religion in this archaeology informed world, beyond a few hundred families living the past (in a rather modern way) in the present.<\/p>\nWithout you all, there is no future to Judaism the ethno-religion in this archaeology informed world, beyond a few hundred families living the past (in a rather modern way) in the present.<\/p>\n
When I say “you all,” I mean every Orthodox to Humanistic Jew – theistic to non-theistic – that embraces the whole of Jewish history, literature (includes some aspect of liturgy), and language (includes shared beliefs, whether religious or secular).<\/p>\n
The purpose of origin myths in “biblical”-type literature (beyond revealing the nature of people) is to justify the national (continued) existence of a people. In this case, that of Judea-Israel in its grandeur theistic-to-non-theistic forms. And, of course, this nation’s indigenous right to YHWH god’s portion of the land – in ancient times (to modern), portrayed as a living vassal property that is governed by a divine vassal treaty with said divine owner of the land, ancient Judea-Israel in the Levant.<\/p>\n
