    Actually, it’s probably quite pious of them. Old Testament God was not really one for mercy and was pretty big on obliterating your foes.

      There’s a part in there about a king asking someone to bring him 400 or some foreskins to prove he was a mighty warrior.

      Like just straight up “go kill hundreds of non Jewish people and chop off the tip of their dicks as a flex”.

      Every single Abrahmic religion started out as a violent cult that wanted to extreminate everyone else one, and every one of those religions still have right wing extremists that think those were the good ole days. And they all want to say criticizing their lust for violence is bigotry against all of their religion
