I just saw the first two episodes of the new Ridley Scott TV series, Raised By Wolves, and it was awful. Not because of the cast, but the plot is just terrible. Nevertheless, I noticed how the characters are almost all Black, with the interracial couple, the good Black father... This is imposes by HBO? Just a thought.

When and why did they go from being "Hebrews" to "Jews"?
Know what I think Paul of Tarsis' job really was? To deliberately disassociate early Christianity from Judaism (because of the Romans not liking Jews for causing them so many headaches in the first centuries BC/AD, which is why Christians were persecuted - they were seen as politically radical, separationalist Jews, like their founder was.) He's where the whole demigod thing comes from, after all. And no one was anyone in the Greco-Roman world unless one of your parents was a god (and even THEN, they might have understood that to be metaphorical in a way we've forgotten.)
