I am referencing to both the Old and New Testaments on here.

And whatever Jesus or the teachers before him in the OT may have originally meant in their words, all throughout history arguments from the Bible have been used or interpreted in different ways to help support ideological arguments on both "sides". We are only operating off the (mis)information about some things that have been established to more than a millennia ago or so.

Actually we have scripture itself which can be interpreted well using a knowledge of science and history. Most theology outside of scripture is garbage which can be ignored. You can see how I interpret the Old Testament in my weekly online Old Testament readings.

Intentional ethnicity? What a neat concept.

Thanks, you are the first person to like it. I discuss it after the Old Testament readings, but there will be no reading this Saturday.

Can I muse about starting my own intentional ethnicity?

Sure but then we can compare ideas and debate them to figure out what makes the most sense. Feel free to post your intentional ethnicity idea to /s/nonmorons.
