I see billboards and bus bench signs encouraging people to chose this or that religious experience. Tv ads for people to pay for this or that religious knickknack. Are they all hate speech? Jesus famously wasn’t a fan.

I was responding in my comment to a previous comment which was correctly describing various parts of the old testament in which their god assails all those other gods, says that you have to worship him first, talks about his wrath and jealousy and the risks if you don’t stick him first. Not to mention the dissing of other tribes, and witches, and other undesirables. All that stuff is a pretty clear marketing message.

There are of course other messages as well, but the original commenter, and my response, referred to the marketing sections.

As for being religious: is there a constraint on who is allowed to read the texts and or interpret them? Are adherents of only certain religions permitted to read them?

Since this seems to be hard for you Ill make it easy. Your argument was made in bad faith. It’s extremely easy to tell from the words you wrote that you hate religion. In all other cases in society, if you don’t agree with something you just keep your mouth shut and move on.
