This is similar to what I've heard in the (limited) research I've done. I've heard that the Pharisees are essentially the ancestors of the Jews today and that they eventually began moving outwards and interbreeding with Europeans.

The video(s) I watched made a similar point. The only part where I would disagree (based on the information I obtained from the video) is that the Judeans are Israelites. However, Judah, it seems was more villainous in nature (Genesis 37:26; 37:28; Genesis 38:15-16). This is starkly different from how Joseph is portrayed (Genesis 37:2-3; Genesis 48:4). And Genesis 48:20 says that Ephraim and Manasseh will be blessed by Israel –– Joseph's sons, not Judah. And it's repeated in 1 Chronicles 5:1-2.

When I was an anti-theist, I was against all religion and I didn't believe in God. Yes, I criticized Christianity, but I also criticized Islam and Judaism. I'm not sure why this is relevant as I'm well past that stage. That was about 6 years ago. I deeply regret ever being one.

I do intend to read the Bible, anon. It's a shame I haven't. I went to a Christian school and so I'm somewhat familiar with the contents of the Bible, but that doesn't do it justice. I do need to sit down and give it a complete read-through. And a few more at that to better understand the contents of the Bible.

I don't know what God would do and I'm not well-versed in Christianity so I won't speak in religious terms, but I really do think the US deserves to be punished. I'm an American, but there's no denying that over the last ~70 years or so, America has become an evil empire. We promote degeneracy of all sorts.

> I don't know about what you watched but regardless Jews stopped being the Chosen people when Christ came. It was then Israel became the entirety of the Church and not just ethnic Jews. This was one of the reasons why they hated him so much.
It's not that I doubt what you're saying, but do you have a source (like a biblical citation or something)?
> If you want to learn about Christianity read the Bible, Church Fathers, Lives of Saints, and the such. Things on virtues as well, pride and humility are pretty important(https://www.amazon.com/Humility-Pride-Metropolitan-Hilarion-Dorostolski/dp/1450220754/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1523899756&sr=1-1). Pride is something alot of people struggle with and you really have to deal with it and know what it is.
Thanks for the reading recommendations, anon. I'll definitely look into all of these. I have a lot of theological books on my reading list and I'd be happy to add more on the topic!

To his defense, he rationalizes his statement by saying that whites have been the ones who have been blessed with intellect, innovation, etc. I think the fifth video on the series touches more on the whole "Noah was white." I'm not sure if it's in the video that I linked or one of the other ones in the series, but the guy who made the video argues that on the 4th day, God created mankind, but in Genesis 2, only Adam and Eve exist. And in the story of Cain and Abel, it's said that Cain feared others finding out that he killed Abel. But if he and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve, who else would be able to find out? The guy who made the video addressed this apparent discrepancy by claiming that there were two "lineages" (my words, not his) and that those who didn't descend from Noah were "barbaric" (again, my words, not his) in nature. Watching the video in its entirety would do this guy's argument infinitely more justice than I ever could.
