        Im not a fan of religion but there are certainly some that dont have a track record of harm and seem to bring great solace to practitioners

      The problem is not judaism or any other abrahamic religion, but zionism, which is a a ethno-religious supremacist ideology not inherent to judaism.

        Unfortunately we have seen many instances throughout history of ethno-religious supremacist ideology, specifically around abrahamic beliefs. Would removing such belief systems from society remove all hate and violence, of course not. But I’d argue that we would be in a better place as a society. Maybe if we weren’t trying to prove whose god was more right or whose belief was more righteous we could have a more just, loving, and peaceful society.

        Why not both?

        Zionism being a problem doesn’t mean actual organized religions (not idealized theoretical ones that don’t exist) aren’t a problem.

          because it’s not the problem here. acting like this has anything to do with either religion is ignoring history and colonialism apologia. whether your statement is agreeable in a vacuum is irrelevant. this is like if someone said “acab” after the George Floyd case and you going “also fuck counterfeit bills”.

          but of course no one has passed the internet atheist shut the fuck up about your hangups for a goddamn second challenge so i don’t really blame you in particular.

          Why not both?

          One group risks their lives to break a genocidal blockade.

          Another tortures them for it.

          Both are the same?

          they didn’t say new kind, they said new atheist. which is a special kind of atheist who makes atheism their entire personality as a reaction to their previous upbringing and tap about religion more than born again evangelicals.

        It’s so bizarre to see religious people fighting for the lives and dignity of their brothers and sisters abroad greater with the same scorn as zealots inflicting brutality and terror.

        Blaming the abuser and the victim in equal measure because they both… what? Hold to a superstition?

        Kiss a four leaf clover before you lay down your life to break a genocidal blockade and suddenly you’re no better than a mass murderer.
