Islam was spread by the sword on a level that rivals, or even surpasses, Christianity depending on the metrics used. Judaism has largely been self-contained and not interested in converts, but even it had its "convert by the sword" period on a smaller localized scale, both with the Israelites...

There were two points. The first was early in my 20s. My mother's family, you see, isn't Jewish. They're Anglicans of British and Scandinavian stock. My mom converted to Judaism when she and my dad got engaged. And my dad's family was mostly in Montreal whereas my mom's family was in southern...

I know it's not happening, but I think you could get a pretty good Voyager Slipstream out of the Legacy Armada Starscream mould. It's slim enough to appear traditionally "feminine," and I think it with a new head and some minor retooling on the body could work to give Slipstream a Seeker Voyager...

I'm probably going to regret this but... Yeah I'm Jewish and I've read the New Testament. A few times over. Not only because I considered converting to Christianity at various points but also because I'm a historian and a history teacher. And during my studies I wanted to fully understand what...

Welcome to everything about human culture and identity ever.

I don't see an issue with Filch being an Airrazor remould. A new robot mode head would be spiffy and that plus a new beast mode head would be even spiffier. But the general shape of the Airrazor mould works for her alt mode so why not?

"Deluxe" doesn't have to mean "noticeably shorter than a Voyager." They've been more than willing to make short or tall Deluxes based on some semblance of what they think scale should be so... I'm going to wait and see before getting upsetti spaghetti.

Everyone has their arbitrary lines. Usually partsforming is one for me but for reasons that boil down to how much I like the rest of the mould and how the partsformed part is used it doesn't cross my arbitrary line. But these lines for everyone are, as I said, arbitrary. Why do people like a...

I was going to list every Jewish Nobel Prize winner but that list would be huge because Jews have won 20% of all Nobel Prizes given. By your arbitrary criteria Judaism is the one true religion because we have a lot of super smart people. But the real point behind this is that if you look every...

Yes he was, but we don't accept his divinity.

I played Theseus in a high school play. I'm ashamed to say I'm not Greek, not a King, nor have I slain a Minotaur. This is absolutely sickening.

Get Cybertron Bendy Prime instead. He's technically a Cybertron Prime in that scheme!

If he wanted a pass on an antisemitic outburst he didn't need to pretend to be Jewish, he could have just joined Momentum 🥁

I just stick it on his back and it's fine imo Neither do I and if ER Cliffjumper started a wider trend then I'd have more issues but it didn't. I look at it like I look at faux parts. I don't like faux parts. But sometimes they can work in certain contexts. Like ER Prime's faux grill abs. ER...

Ehhh... In Genesis Adam tries to do just that, and blame Eve for his poor choices. G-d, however, doesn't buy it and punishes both of them because each was responsible for their own actions. Eve doesn't make things bad for Adam, she makes things bad for Eve. Adam is likewise the cause of his...

My guess is it has something to do with the proto-Israelites splitting from the Mesopotamians and heading to the Levant (the Abraham story). It would make sense as Jews consider this the start of the "Jewish people." But like... yeah. Who knows?

Earthrise Cliffjumper is one of my favourite new moulds so sure! 😛

Dennis Prager is, to use a term my grade five Hebrew teacher was fond of, a nudnik. Easy. The Bible isn't literal. It's metaphor and stories meant to reference some past events and impart lessons about living a pious life. It's not meant to be a literal history book. The Jewish calendar says...

Why are you so wrong about everything? The only mention of people resorting to eating children regarding Babylon was during the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. Which isn't good but like... that's pretty standard for prolonged sieges, especially in the ancient world. Has nothing to do with...
