Terrorist Attack in London

[MumblesBadly]

Have you heard of The Book of Joshua? In it, God calls for the Israelites to commit ethnic cleansing to take over much of the land of the Canaanites. Why is this relevant? Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel refer to those writings as justification to commit ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank to make room for Jewish settlements.

In fact, the Zionist movement was based in large part on the supposed promise "God" made to the Israelites regarding ownership of certain land in the Middle East as recorded in the Torah, which is the founding document of the Jewish faith. And Middle Eastern Arab leaders predicted pretty much the same thing bolded above about letting Jews immigrate en masse to Palestine while it was under British control post-WW I.

I like how you put God in quotation marks to signal how superior you are. Yes, God did command the ethnic cleansing of Palestine when he gave the land to the Jews. If the Old Testament is true, of course. You seem very perturbed by that. Strangely you're unwilling to show the same outrage at the Islamic texts which call for the violent subjugation of ALL UNBELIEVERS OF ISLAM, which would include you and I.

Weird how liberals criticize practicing Jews and Christians for believing in 'primitive backwards religion' but are super eager to allow in millions of Muslims who strive to live (and make all of us live) exactly like seventh century arabs. All the most precious liberal bugaboos like fag marriage and loose women are forbidden in Muslim societies. Not only that, they execute those who do that shit. I wonder if liberals fail to account for this or if they just assume that once muslims set foot on American soil they will be transformed into starbucks drinking, low testosterone ant people like them. If we didn't have a major terrorist attack every 30 minutes one could almost think that was rational.

It's almost like liberal opposition to religion is just another way to signal to their yuppie facebook friends that they are superior than an actual principled stand against the tenets of any one faith. Almost.

"God" is a man-made delusion that the religious fearful cling to for comfort and the religious arrogant use to justify their heinous actions against others.



That being said, I don't ignore how *any* religious faith can be *used* to promote heinous acts against people. My objection to Islamophobia is that it paints *all* Muslims as equivalent to Islamic extremists, just as I object to extremists in *any* faith -- including the "faith" of atheism. Which is why I am *not* anti-religious.
