I wonder if you’re familiar with the “Sir, this is an Arby’s” meme. Let me illustrate it for you:

Do you know what the first word is in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy? It’s and. BOOM. What did Jesus call the Torah? “The book of Moses.” Not the books of Moses.
Person B [laconically]: Sir, this is an Arby’s.
That’s it. That’s the joke. The point of the punchline is simple: Arby’s isn’t the place for unhinged ramblings about the Torah, and an Arby’s cashier is only there to take your order and ask if you want horseradish or not.
