I do???
Here is what I said about the Old Testament:
My guess, for what it is worth, is that a very self-serving history (of sorts) of the early Hebrew people...a relatively unsophisticated, unknowledgeable, superstitious people who had many enemies in the areas where they lived. Their enemies worshiped barbarous, vengeful, wrathful, unforgiving, demanding, murderous, petty gods. And to protect themselves from those gods, they invented an especially barbarous, vengeful, wrathful, unforgiving, demanding, murderous, petty god...and worshiped it. The story seems to be a necessary mythology. The mythology served a needed purpose at that time and I can easily understand why the ancient Hebrews felt about it the way they did.
The fact that modern theists feel the way they do about it...is disappointing and disheartening.
How do you see that as condemning it?
I am trying to understand why people like you want to suppose Jesus was a liar...and why you do not worship the same god he did. What makes you think I am condemning Christians who reject the god Jesus worshiped...and who think Jesus was a liar....but also condemn christians who reject it.
See above.Whats up with that?
What is imbecilic is for people like you to pretend to be "Christians", but who think Jesus lied...and who think the god he worshiped is not worthy of worship.Thats imbecilic.

For anyone rational: our founders were VERY wary of creating a new aristocracy via inherited wealth. We had fought a revolution specifically to get away from that kind of thing.
The estate tax is fair. Without it, we would have even more inequality than we have now. People who are against have no idea what it would do to our economics.
