I said something along the lines of:

“Wow, I haven’t had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while.”

Along with

“Nah, the more dead corpos dragons, the better.”

In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.

Good ole’ civility clause.

Whats the paradox of tolerance?

.world mods have never heard of it I guess.

    That doesn’t change linguistics. As I mentioned, there are examples in the Bible of other things, including humans, that were referred to as El.

    Another example is Ba’al. Ba’al was both a generic word for pagan gods as well as one specific god. But that doesn’t mean so the various pagan gods were the same.

    You also missed my point about the qualifier. The fact that the Canaanite god of death and war had no qualifier denotes a difference. The Hebrew/Christian God whose name is given as Jehovah in many translation, always has a qualifier with the word EL. Specifically qualifies like “God Almighty”, Most High (el’yohn), and never appears in isolated form except when referring to others.

    The word EL even makes up many biblical names like Dani’el (God is my judge), El’isha (God is salvation), and Micha’el (Who is like God?).

    The fact that there was a Canaanite god whose name was just “god” means and proves nothing, other than if there ever was a name attributed to that god it was lost to time.
