A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Abraham and Sarah were siblings (incest). Abraham abandoned Ishmael for long periods of time (bastard child). And Sarah told Abraham not to even dismount his horse while visiting Ishmael and Hagar (jealousy).
All that combined with a dad who told them that God promised them the world.
2 messed up kids, in the middle of the desert, with parents that hated each other, daddy issues, and promises of grandeur.
Then a guy who said, "screw this, I'm ditching the generational trauma," starts trying to pull people to his side of things.
The other 2 siblings love/hate him for it.
Don't know how that particularly adds to understanding the religions but okay.
It makes it human, and not mythical.
