You’re assuming any kind of logic or critical thinking is involved here
The Hebrew Israelite thing itself is so full of nonsense (like historical jibberish nonsense) and internal contradictions that anyone who actually subscribed to it is a serious idiot. To give you an idea, one of the 12 Tribes of Israel is “the Puerto Ricans”

Can you explain that, it’s very confusing. Do they mean the modern day people who are now Puerto Rican because they had native and Moor ancestors? Or are you saying like actual Puerto Ricans? Im so confused by this and have never heard this used as an argument.

Well ya…because it’s nonsense and in no way can be configured to make sense.
You’re putting more thought into it then they do.
For example, “The Negros” (African Americans) are the tribe of Judah and the Haitians are the tribe of Levi and the “West Indies” are the tribe of Benjamin…in the context of how the Transatlanic slave trade worked…What?
Places like Cuba and PR are super multiethnic. What does that even mean “the cubans”? Like, a European colonist, a trafficked slave, and a native Taino are all from the same tribe? Or is it just The Native population? But they were Taino so how are native Dominicans and Cubans and Puerto Ricans (who all would have been Taino) from different tribes for some reason? And that’s not even getting into them somehow being from Israel apparently. How did “The Native Americans” who are from the tribe of Gad get there? Who then were the natives who were there 12,000 years prior while the Tribe of Gad was…not yet existing? What kind of crazy bananas pants history makes this work?
Like I said, none of this makes any sense

Arguing that some religious beliefs make sense and others don’t is pretty laughable in itself lol

I mean, I’m an atheist…so, ya…Gods silly.
Either way, on the scale of dumb to batshit stupid this is more on the batshit stupid mark

You’re still saying the same thing so my response remains: Arguing that some religious beliefs make sense and others don’t is pretty laughable in itself

The issue isn't really the religious beliefs, it's the spreading of conspiracy theories about Ashkenazi people.

Ok. Kind of a tangent and all, and has nothing to do with my comment,and I never argued any religious briefs made sense, or even mentioned religion (in the context of supernatural claims)…so…
Like what point are you trying to make here? That someone going “I think Jesus existed” and someone going “I think Jesus was a Mexican Chupacabra who became the king of England before time traveling to 1914 to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand” are equally stupid, so the next time I mention anything about how you’d have to be an idiot to take chupacabra king of England Jesus guy seriously I should also add a caveat that so are Catholics?

The point I made was “Arguing that some religious beliefs make sense and others don’t is pretty laughable in itself”. HBU

Ya well, MahiMahi is much better than Tuna. So there.
Some religious beliefs make more sense than others though. Ya. That seems pretty obvious…and irrelevant to anything in this thread

No it’s not obvious, and fish comparisons aren’t making it look less laughable. If you’re trying to bait me into some insipid argument comparing religions can you just accept what I already said three times and let me go lol

But you get that the Empire Strikes Back is a great movie, right?
