So you're saying the famous Greek philosopher Epicurus was Jewish a century before the Romans even conquered Greece? Source?
What? How do you get that from what I wrote?
Well Epicurus clearly isn't a Christian based on the time he was alive. Which is why drag said he wouldn't talk like a monotheist. But you said drag was wrong, because Judaism existed. The only reason that's a counterargument is if Epicurus was Jewish. If he wasn't, then there's no point to saying Judaism already existed, Epicurus wouldn't have talked about the gods like a Jew would. He was a Hellenist.
I'm not a christian or a monotheist of any kind either, and yet I can talk about their god in this exact way. My argument to you was Epicurus's religion is irrelevant, and so is his predating Jesus.
Polytheists don't talk like that.
I mean, thst is demonstrably incorrect, but ok.
