He paints with a roller. In Egypt, said our rabbi, he even killed first-born <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">cattle<\/em>. He killed cows. If he were mortal, the God of Jews, Christians and Muslims would be dragged to The Hague. And yet we praise him. We emulate him. We implore our children to be like him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-g5piaz evys1bk0\">Perhaps now, as missiles rain down and the dead are discovered in mass graves, is a good time to stop emulating this hateful God. Perhaps we can stop extolling his brutality. Perhaps now is a good time to teach our children to pass over God \u2014 to be as <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">unlike<\/em> him as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-g5piaz evys1bk0\">\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Killing gods is an idea I can get behind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Good Friday is widely observed on Friday, followed by Easter Sunday; Passover is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/faith\/2022\/04\/15\/passover-begins-at-sundown-friday-jewish-festival-of-freedom\/\">observed<\/a> starting on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
