Sure, but even as a parable it shows jesus expects something that is not possible, and punishes living things for being as he created them to be.

One of the many things that christians seem to misunderstand is that almost none of the Bible is about them. It’s about the descendants of Israel who are the descendants of Noah who are the descendants of Adam and Eve, who were uniquely created by their god in its image and given a piece of its divine breath… none of which is about all humanity, but especially gentiles who are literally the same as wild animals as far as scripture is concerned.

Remember the story of the woman who begged Jesus and his disciples for help for days because her daughter was “possessed?” Not only did Jesus go out of his way to ignore and avoid her for days, he then compared her to a dog for not being Israelite. Only when she leaned into the insult did Jesus relent.

Israel was that specific fig tree and Israel was supposed to be special and had unique expectations placed on them since they were literally their god’s children, and other people were not.

I’m not disagreeing really. I’m building on your point.

Their god was a local god, which like all the people's gods everywhere had a creation myth for their people. Of course the other people weren't included. If they wanted a creation or a god, they could just come up with their own. Lazy cunts.

I mean, they did. And then Joshua showed up with his horn and his seven day parade march.
