Let’s call a book by its name,

The central Judaic holy book is not “the Bible” that’s the central Christian holy book.

Calling the Holy Scriptures or Tanach (a contraction of Torah, the redacted accepted first five books),Prophets and Writings by the name used by a separate faith, which has edited and changed it, e(The Jewish Bible or the definitive insult: “The Old Testament “) either by the collection of a myriad of scribal errors or a deliberate attempt to “predict” its final third, called the New Testament (I consider the latter to sound too sinister and suggest a combination of the former and latter, without deliberate intent) is as insulting and erroneous as calling al-Quran “The Muslim Bible” or any other faith’s central text its Bible.

This anti-Semitic trope, emerging from the concept that Judaism replaced “paganism” (one word for a million equally provable faiths, and Christianity replaced Judaism) should NOT be allowed here. when we discuss differences between the Judaic Holy Scriptures and the Christian Bible, particularly its Old Testament, name the differences.

Consider them all equally “correct”and “accepted by a faith” unless used to justify true genocide, a term lately tossed around without understanding the true obscene meaning of the concept. As far as I’m concerned, human understanding of the creation of the universe(s?) is like a prion trying to understand a planet. If having a particular belief makes you, in a line attributed to multiple sages and prophets: refusal ”to do something to another that you would consider an anathema if done to you” and your faith makes you happy, fulfilled, and an all-around decent person, I am happy for you as long as you acknowledge that those who hold different beliefs are as likely to be right about the Big Questions.

Just be sensitive when discussing other belief systems.
