i must have found fifty different translations and versions of 'The Bible' so far. in my search for a solid, reliable and relatable text interpretation, i also found some graphical overviews…

anon has known of this third-rail of Religion since i was a kid in the seventies. Learned very early from marriage family jews how volatile it was to ask any unfavorable questions about Jewish history from jews… 'shut up and just repeat the Stories'. The Holocaust was as sacrosanct to Jews as Communion to Catholics or Quran to Muslims
the Unquestionable aspects of all of them drove me nearest to rejecting it ALL. Jesus kept repeating truisms that i could understand and relate to and appreciate as honest encouragement to be honest with one's self and with others.
Far too many times as a young child i witnessed Jewish family laugh and giggle and smirk when they saw or perpetrated acts of deception and underhandedness. i was under ten years old and could see something very ugly going on.
i do not write this here at Kun with any peace. I know these is the kind of words that some grab hold of and run down the hallway screaming about. But what i saw was not a good example for Jews. It tore the Christian side of my family to pieces. Maybe i just had bad luck with the few "Bad Jews" that do exist. No different than "Bad Christians" or "Bad Muslims". ijdfk

trying to read thousand, two thousand and five thousand year old stuff is seriously difficult to understand and say one knows what was genuinely intended by the authors
