It's just kind of like, you have a God who gets angry, you have a God who gets jealous, you have a God who feels kind of petty, actually, in the Torah, and you're just like, how is this supposed to be the bedrock of a faith? This is God that's actually such an unappealing character. It's like going to see a play where the main character is really unappealing.

It's kind of how I feel about White Lotus. I kind of hate that show. I'm just like, there's no appealing character in this whole show. So the Torah is kind of like White Lotus in that way.

Right, well, the way that I navigate that is that the God of the Torah is not God. The God of the Torah is a character. It's a God character that was like created by humans, but it's not God.

And I would say that there's an inherent contradiction, and I'll say in Judaism, it may be true in other religions, I'm just less of an expert in other religions, that like Judaism has these sort of two paradoxical sort of truths, which is that like... We have the God of the Torah that is very much a human-like figure that has feelings and does things.

But then there's like it's very clear in the Jewish sort of tradition, the Jewish law, whatever, that like you are not allowed to personify God. You are not allowed to anthropomorphize God. Like God is not a person.

God is not a being, God is not separate from us in any way. It's this paradox of like, wait, this resonates. I think for a lot of modern people, this idea that God is not a person or a sentient being in any ways is like, okay, that can square that with the world as I see it. But then what the fuck is this very human like God in the Torah or the Bible or in the Koran or whatever? Right?

And the only way to really square that circle is like, that is actually like a God projection. That is actually like a human creation of God that is not God. Right. It's a God character.

Right. You know, and it's like a useful jumping off point to have a conversation about God, but it's not, that is not God because you can't, God does not have human form. So like, how can you talk about God in that way?
