Euphoric athiests always confuse me with their gotchas. They don' really understand that being a Prophet or chosen by God is a fucking big job and most of the Prophets within the Bible get frustrated with it. The OT is a history of the Jewish People and it generally doesn't paint them as some ubermensch race like a lot of modern Jews think of themselves. They fuck up and many times persecute their own prophets because times are good and why do you want some guy around saying that God doesn't want you to murder your own people and take their wives? Who gives a shit that even David fucked up and admitted it's a dick move?
There's that old saying that they love to parrot that goes something like, "Athiests know the Bible/Torah/Korran better than most Christians/Jews/Muslims". It always irks me because it's always pulling a verse out of context. The entire New Testament is the Jewish people being lead by corrupt religious authorities who hide behind an overly complex internal system of rules while being backed by the Roman Empire. A lot of the allegories Jesus speaks in are him trying to avoid being called a heretic or a rebel.
Abrahamic Religion has a very grounded message and the narratives throughout the OT and NT are not some overly philosophical stuff for modern people, we've had centuries where the harder philosophical ideas are effectively no longer alien and part of popular conscience.
How the fuck do athiest niggers misunderstand Paul/ Saul? It's a redemption story.
