Why am I so angry? I live in a world where religions claims have created senseless, needless barriers, divisions, wars, and human suffering beyond measure. Look at Israel and Jerusalem, all armed to the hilt, thinking 'better' would be the extermination of their neighbors.
And still people think they are doing 'good' by promoting this stupid and primitive religious shit.
'Authentic Jewish sources' are just as full of fabricated horse-shit as any other religions sources.

Nonsense. War is far too expensive to justify many wars about mere religion. Wars are nearly all about wealth. Mammon. You know, the stuff you can't love and God.

Even when war is not being overtly fought, how much does it cost each day to 'secure' Jerusalem and 'Israel's borders'?
How many poor and hungry would that same money feed, clothe, and educate? (and no, I don't mean any more of that fuc.ing religious indoctrination that now passes for 'education')
Yes the leaders of Israel do love their wealth and luxuries, which they consume on the dead bodies of their Palestinian neighbors, under the lying religious excuse of holding some mythical birthright to the land and its wealth.

But why take it out on me? If there is something wrong with Man in general, take it up with *whomever* created us.....

No one is 'taking out' anything on you.
A subject is being discussed, and a certain level of contempt is being expressed towards those that invented these tall-tales as well as towards those who continue to promote them as being valid as history, or 'rights' to discriminate against their fellow man.
A person can remain Jewish without supporting what is nothing more than a blatant land-grab based upon old religious lies.

Not enough to justify

'I live in a world where religions claims have created senseless, needless barriers, divisions, wars, and human suffering beyond measure.'

Over 100 million people died through warfare in the 20th century, very few of them for religious reasons, unless the love of money is a religion.

Which land grab are you referring to in that posting??

Take your choice, or all of them.
