This is in no way an apologia for Uriel, with whom I disagree profoundly, but I find it strange and ironic that a Catholic is attacking metaphor when the Catholic Church has exalted metaphor over literal meaning for two thousand years, to the point that nowadays its clergy, theologians, and laity more often than not dismiss the "old testament" as "mythology." The Roman church does not understand Metaphor. They use allegory and thus create what ever they wish.

The Roman church does not understand Metaphor. That is your opinion, nothing more.

What are you referring to?
Do you mean the Holy Trinity? It is not just Catholics that believe in the Trinity, the Orthodox and nearly all Protestants do as well.

Since you dismiss pages and pages of Torah commandments pertaining to
qorbanot, you're one to talk.
Unfortunately, as I have learned in the past, there is absolutely no need trying to reason with you. You assume J*sus is the messiah and chr*stianity is true at the outset and then proceed to impose it onto the Hebrew Bible.
