[QUOTE="BudiS10, post: 69078116, member: 383631"] Disclaimer: This is not a hate post. This is genuine question. I'm learning all abrahamic religions and therefore I decide to make this post. Sorry for my bad grammar as it's not my native language. let's get started. In Torah you can clearly see God promoted racism. He seems to be prioritizing jews and Israel over everybody else. Even when jews chose to abandon him, God still love them so much. On the other hand, it seems like he never care about the other people. for example, he does not mind killing Egyptians' firstborn child. Imagine if you were egyptian at the time, you did not choose to be born as an egyptian (like none of us chose to be born in specific country), and you had absolutely nothing to do with the pharaoh's policies. After all most civilians cannot influence their kings in a monarchy system. All of sudden, your kid has to suffer because of God, is that fair? You punish a whole country because of your love to specific tribe (jews). That sounds like a racist god to me. I know that a lot of christians do not care what Torah says anymore but the God in Torah and God in gospel is technically still the same and one God, so how can you justify his actions in Torah? The thing that bothers me the most is that God always talked positively about Israel in Torah and chose not to talk about other people. There were cases where jews chose to abandon God and chose to serve false gods. God still came back to them and showed them the way. Meanwhile, at that time there were already other races on Earth. blacks served other gods. asians served other gods. europeans served other gods. Don't you think it's strange that God of Israel did not choose to come to them and give them the same opportunity like He gave one to the jews? He chose to "abandon" all of them, He seem like He did not care at all about nonjewish people. in Exodus, God forced egyptians to release jews after 400 years of slavery. If I remember in those same years there were already a lot of slaveries happening all around the world too. But again, God did not come to those other races. God did not force anyone to release the slaves. Why? Why God created us, nonjewish people, if He treat us like a bastard child? [/QUOTE]
