Quote from Gubinec:
So much for your know-it-all attitude.
It seems like I'll be the one giving you the history lesson.
Kabbalah, as a part of Jewish philosophy, did not appear in history until Late Medieval / Renaissance times.
As an esoteric philosophy, it was a product of the Medieval European, Islamic and Jewish works on alchemy, magic, and other arcane subjects.
Give credit where it is due, and stop claiming what is not an invention of your sole people.
You remind me of other imbeciles, namely the Muslim proselytizers on the internet who claim that Islam is perfectly in harmony with science as certain phrases in Quran and the Hadiths state what science proved only recently (according to them).
While not only being totally in contradiction to science when the said verses are examined, these idiots also totally ignore the fact that the first Muslim Caliphate had established the largest library of its time in Baghdad, where Muslim scholars had studied Persian, Greek and Roman works on philosophy and science, from which those said verses in Quran and Hadiths were copied in idea, sometimes even with exact wording.
Especially the one-eyed Muslim anti-Christ, Dajjal, who is exiled somewhere on an island by Allah. This fellow seems eerily similar to the Ancient Greek myth about Cyclop, who was one-eyed and also was exiled by the top Greek bad-ass deity - Zeus - on an island. The similarities in this story go on and on, but I digress.
Don't kid yourself. It might have been a theocratic monarchy, with its 23 (or how many?) judges serving as a legislature, but never a constitutional monarchy and a republic in the modern sense of the word. You're picking on words. A woman who cheated in those days was stoned to death. Talk about human rights.
Well, if you're so sure of it, I'm sure you could provide us a reference directly from the Torah or Talmud which could EVEN IMPLICITLY prove that the Ancient Greeks and their philosophic modern-era successors, the French, borrowed their conceptions about govt and society from the Torah.
You're too kind.
