>>508653646The talmud exists as a reaction to the expansion of Christianity and especially as a reaction to the Muslim conquest. Jews were thinking well okay, we didn't accept Jesus as the messiah, but we were right because the Messiah was meant to save us and change the world and he didn't, if anything, he helped our enemy, Rome. But then Muhammad comes along, pulls a second Jesus, and actually is that conquering warrior king they wanted, and still they reject him because he comes with a whole new book just like Jesus and turns everything upside down, and yet he also does succeed in vanquishing the west. It's a cope. The Christians won, the Muslims won, where is the Jewish win? Maybe they just should have accepted Jesus back then, or Muhammad when they were given a second chance. I doubt they'll get a third chance at the Messiah.
