    I agree. Sadly there’s a whole bunch of people that take those texts just real fuckin serious, and they’re the ones causing a lot of these problems

      Not really… they just pretend to to justify their power and privilege. You’ll find just as many narratives in the old testament that subverts the ones the settler-colonialists are using - for instance, the (supposed) ill treatment of the Hebrews by the Egyptian Pharoah isn’t half as terrible as what Israel is subjecting Palestinians to.
