This is a new one on me. I'm counting it as a lie because of the reference to "Judeosatanists" -- the text is taking about how gentiles could nullify the status of their idols, not commanding anything.
Korobochka mirror @cirnosad.bsky.social Why do so many roman statues have missing noses? Well, it's because of the Talmud. Avodah Zarah 53a commands Judeosatanists to destroy the nose of statues, to "nullify it". It also hides the skull proportions. This proves the Judaisers ultimately won during the early centuries.

It's all in the Sefaria See 'n Say
A See 'n Say toy. It's a plastic toy for children with bright colors. It shows a variety of animals, and you pull a lever to make the central spinner point to a random animal. It will then say that animal's noise, e.g. "The mouse says, squeak!"

For example, this responsum by the Rabbinical Assembly's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards.

www.rabbinicalassembly.org/sites/defaul...
Page 17 of 18 begins: 1. A Jew becoming a Christian is an apostate and whatever laws apply to an apostate apply to a 'messianic Jew.' In essence, 'Messianic Jews' have become Christians, even if technically they remain Jews in certain matters of personal status. 2. Synagogue membership is only for Jews. Therefore since Messianic Jews' have become Christians in their religious belief and affiliation they may not be accepted as…

Context. I quoteposted the older post of Mr. Beat's, before his clarification and apology. I'm actually a fan of his YouTube channel; it wasn't really my intention to direct any hate his way.

It's always strange when someone gets mad at me and adds me to every list they have (I told them off for saying "the Abrahamic religion is a pedophile sex cult")
List of lists by ChevyDem She/Her (@chevydem.bsky.social). She has 12.3K followers and is following 12.7K accounts, with 2.8K posts. Their bio says: "Sculptor,potter,wirter, thinker of thoughts and singer of songs. Just another eternal being experiencing a dream. I have opinions, most are rooted in tangible reality. Atheist Liberal Democrat. Twitter Xpat. DM=block #Resist #Democrat #Atheist #NewAtheism". Their moderation lists are: Accounts that follow you then unfollow you after you follow them. Fascist bigoted vegans. (Description: These toxic vegans want to force their life choices onto the rest of us. They're beyond nasty and toxic. They can't just live and let live.) Religious intolerance. (Description: Religious people who are intolerant of Atheists.) Sex Accounts. (Description: People who are here just looking for a hookup. These people are not bots or scammers. There's nothing wrong with them, they're just highly sexualized. Subscribe to this list if you're just not interested in encountering them."

They literally did make one, you know.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_...
The Christian Shield of the Trinity. It shows three circles labeled "The Father," "The Son," and "The Holy Spirit," with a fourth circle labeled "God" in the center. Each of the three outer circles is connected ot the other two by an edge that reads "is not," and to the center circle by an edge that reads "is." The result is that it essentially reads, "The Father is not The Son is not The Holy Spirit is not The Father," and "The Father is God, The Son is God, and The Holy Spirit is God."

Zooming in on the this paragraph that mentions Hillel: This seems immensely flawed. "Love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord" is in the Torah. How can one say Jews reject it?
The positive formulation of the Golden Rule is not identical to "Love your neighbor as yourself" in the first place.
Self-preservation and self-interest are not only legitimate, but essential to sustaining an ethical life. It is why, when the rabbinic sage Hillel was asked by a would-be convert to distill all of Jewish teaching into a single sentence, he did not quote the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Rather Hillel said, “What is hateful to you, do not do to another.” One cannot love another as yourself, argued Hillel and Jews throughout the ages. The best we can do is to love another because they are like us, kamokha, created alike in God’s image. There are limits to love. There is a place for self-concern.
