    So you’re saying the famous Greek philosopher Epicurus was Jewish a century before the Romans even conquered Greece? Source?

        Well Epicurus clearly isn’t a Christian based on the time he was alive. Which is why drag said he wouldn’t talk like a monotheist. But you said drag was wrong, because Judaism existed. The only reason that’s a counterargument is if Epicurus was Jewish. If he wasn’t, then there’s no point to saying Judaism already existed, Epicurus wouldn’t have talked about the gods like a Jew would. He was a Hellenist.
