Ben Shapiro's Jewish...association and his Kippah are two of the least offensive things about the man, the first of which is he commonly argues against people because of how icky they make him feel.
I have few issues against Jews. I have plenty of issues against transnational white-power affiliates and bigoted assholes. And Shapiro is demonstrably both.
Well if you’re seeing through everything all the time then you aren’t seeing anything. You’ve gotta pick what you’re going to see and that precludes seeing what’s behind it. Unless we’re talking about some omniscience sense. But then that’s not seeing.
A Jewish friend once explained the yarmulke as just being polite to god. “He doesn’t want to look down and see that.” I had never thought of the crown of the head as an offensive area. 🤷♂️
But "god is everywhere all the time' so 'he' won't necessarily be looking down. he may be looking at you, or from below, behind, etc.
This 'god' is touted as having unlimited power; able to do anything. he would be able to not see what he wants, when he wants.
Religious 'rules' and stories make no sense. This 'god' flooded Earth but had noah build an ark with animals. Then he drowned everything on Earth. Mass genocide. Why drowned all the living? Are you not a 'god'? Why not just make people disappear? Did he not have an 'un-create' button on his laptop?
All Abrahamic 'gods' are touted as 'all knowing, all seeing'. They, allegedly, have unlimited powers. It's not a strawman to point out inconsistencies in a touted 'perfect' religion.
Mythologies are based on whatever-you-want-to-believe-at-the-moment, not facts.
This is the dumbest response to any sort of argument and meant intentionally to make an argument rather than a discussion. Facts don't care about feelings, but people do. And if you don't care about the person you are talking to you are just a hack looking to exploit.
Granted I'm human and have made this mistake when people forget about facts and try to bring them the side I see and have faultered. But I'm not trying to exploit it into a brand of morality and claim I am better than anyone else either.
