#MeToo Jumps the Ultimate Shark

#MeToo hysteria has jumped the ultimate shark. Rabbi Tamara Kolton denounces God for sexual misconduct:

The story that begins the bible, the first one that we learn in Sunday school, the founding story of man and woman upheld for thousands of years by Judeo-Christian religion, is actually the story of the first sexual assault of a woman. The woman’s name is Eve. And the perpetrator? God. …

Here is a young, beautiful, intelligent, naked woman living in a state of Grace. She’s hungry, so she does the most natural thing in the world and eats a piece of fruit. For following her instincts, trusting herself, and nourishing her body, she is punished. Her punishment? She will never again feel safe in her nakedness. She will never again love her body. She will never again know her body as a place of sacred sovereignty.

Actually, there was other food available. Eve ate the apple to acquire forbidden knowledge. But apparently these days you can’t expect a rabbi to know that much about it.

“What have you done?” He God thunders. Eve wants to defend herself, but she is too ashamed to speak. Eve, our first mother whose name means the “mother of all living things,” is silenced, much the way the “patients” of Dr. Nassar were.

The reference is to her fellow Michigander, the serial girl molester sentenced to 360 years (although he could get out in 140 years with good behavior), Larry Nasser.

Considering that it is part of the Jewish religion, you would think a rabbi would have access to the Old Testament. Eve was not silenced; she tried to blame the serpent.

The founding myth of Judeo-Christian religion, the story of Eve, granted generations of men permission to violate women. It teaches us that women are liars and sinners. Even if “She” is telling the truth, she deserved it. God told her not to eat that apple, or wear that skirt, or go out after dark, or be pretty, or desirous, or in that bar or on that street or in that car or born a girl.

Sure, that’s what the Bible is all about. No wonder liberals say Christianity is just as bad as Islam.

This God, this man-made figurehead of the patriarchy, is not my God. He is a fiction, a man-made myth [yap yap yap yap yap…]

Having denounced God as a perpetrator of sexual assault and the Old Testament as “misogynistic mythology,” Kolton seems to suggest we should worship Eve instead:

I know that at this very moment in time, Eve is with us and she is awed and proud that we are finally finding our voices, one at time, and then hundreds, and thousands at a time. She, who was lost to us so long ago, is actually here with us now, marching in the streets, testifying, raising her voice, at last.

Just listen…

Eve, our blessed mother, is saying, “#Metoo.”

Orthodox Jew Ben Shapiro describes Kolton’s piece with the words stupid, asinine, ridiculous, ludicrous, imbecilic, witless, obtuse, fatuous, harebrained, doltish, and preposterous. He is too kind. The piece is far worse; it is progressive.

Leftists are destroying Judaism the same way they are destroying Christianity: by subverting it from within, hollowing out the content and replacing it with moonbattery that will cause congregations to wander off in disgust.
