THEOLOGICAL MANUAL ON DISCRIMINATION
The biblical God proclaims, in Exodus 20:3, that we must love him exclusively, rejecting all other gods, which leads us to believe that this is the recognition that there are other deities different from the biblical one, just that it is forbidden to worship them, if we want to remain in the herd.
In the same Bible, when Adam and Eve, exiled from paradise, begin their painful existence between heaven and earth, despite it being written that Eve would be the mother of all human beings, soon after in the same chapter, countless other people appear who is not known where they came from, leading us to believe that the creation of the Universe and of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, was an experience parallel to others that were already underway, but which in particular would be exclusively that of Adam and Eve that was chosen to deserve the name human, while all the others in existence, I don't know what name they would deserve.
About the Bible, however, one should not think or reason, but believe blindly, because if we reason a little it is not difficult to conclude that the sacred book is also a theological manual of discrimination between humans preferred by God and all others, who do not I know what name to give them, especially because I myself must belong to the tribe of “others”.
Frankly, and with my hand on my heart, this doesn't revolt me in the slightest, I prefer to be the “other” who advocates for interdependence and union, than God's favorite who turns against his fellow men.
