I’m not even religious, I just want to know.

    The Prince of Egypt isn’t a Christian movie, it’s Jewish. It’s literally from the old testament, the book of Exodus.

    I don’t care if you’re religious or not, stop helping the Christians appropriate my culture.

      You’re a bit late on that one - that particular appropriation happened 2000 years ago.

      While you’re here, though, can your recommend any good Jewish religious movies?

      Judaism doesn’t have exclusive ownership over the old testament. They are an important part of the Christian canon too.

      Heck, you don’t even give enough of a shit to refer to the scripture by the Jewish name. If you really cared perhaps you should start by calling it the Torah, the name “old testament” is nonsensical when you remove the new testament.

      You should stop complaining about people “appropriating” your culture when you’re already giving it away freely anyways.

        Appropriation is very much a Christian context - you guys are the original Microsoft taking everything from somewhere else and then literally trying to extinguish the competition.

        The Torah being referred to as old testament happens because otherwise you end up with confounded looks by Christians who can’t seem to grasp that religion is diverse and older than 2000 years or so.
