Ace LucarioAre there Christian movies other than Prince of Egypt that are considered good?
toasteecupThe Prince of Egypt isn’t a Christian movie, it’s Jewish. It’s literally from the old testament, the book of Exodus.
I don’t care if you’re religious or not, stop helping the Christians appropriate my culture.
awsamationJudaism doesn't have exclusive ownership over the old testament. They are an important part of the Christian canon too.
Heck, you don't even give enough of a shit to refer to the scripture by the Jewish name. If you really cared perhaps you should start by calling it the Torah, the name "old testament" is nonsensical when you remove the new testament.
You should stop complaining about people "appropriating" your culture when you're already giving it away freely anyways.
Appropriation is very much a Christian context - you guys are the original Microsoft taking everything from somewhere else and then literally trying to extinguish the competition.
The Torah being referred to as old testament happens because otherwise you end up with confounded looks by Christians who can’t seem to grasp that religion is diverse and older than 2000 years or so.
That explanation would've been a lot more convincing if it was included before I called them out for using the Christian name.
"They used the Christian name because otherwise nobody would've understood" sounds a lot like a desperate attempt to cover for having a Christian show them up about knowing the basic terminology of Judaism while they complain about Christians "appropriating their culture".
A culture which by the way, Christians have just as much claim to. And Muslims as well. Turns out that all of the Abrahamic religions actually have a legitimate claim to these scriptures.
Whataboutism won’t save you.
Which is why that potential whataboutism was only one sentence tacked onto the end of my comment, while the rest of my comment was a direct rebuttal.
Only focusing on the easiest points to argue against won't save you.
