We can learn a lot from the narratives we read in the Old Testament, Torah, for example, whether they are facts or fiction, or weather those accounts were records of oral traditions or written centuries later to rationalize and validate what would be otherwise difficult to justify. We read that one tribe’s god who rules the kingdom of heaven has his own “chosen” people whom he favors at everyone else’s expense. He grants his favored tribe other people’s wealth and lands, and allows them, in fact orders them, to slaughter all who resist the chosen tribe from manifesting god’s will. Their entitlement to their rival tribes’ possessions becomes, therefore, their god-given legitimate birthright.
