Heidegger

The reason my book didn’t didn’t sell is because people thought
either it’s an intended joke, or the person who wrote it a bigger
one. I should have hidden my message better in a title of total
dissemblement as did Spinoza in the “Theological-Political Tractate.”
This blazenly irreverent critique is written by a Jew–really could
have only been written by a Jew. What Spinoza does is shows how the
literature/philosophy of the religion of the Old Testament can be,
indeed must be read by any reasonable person as a passionate act of
universalizing Judaism: Judaism , stripped of ridiculous
literalisms, is a universal religion. If Marx is the last Jewish
prophet, Spinoza is the last Jewish rabbi.
