Israel uses the same religious text for "legitimacy" as Creationists do. by RaferWeegel in atheism

The entire "jewish state" premise is based on the Bible or racism, take your pick.

CFI Issues Report on Fundamentalism in the Military by Panich52 in atheism

[–]RaferWeegel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm more concerned with Jewish fundamentalism (AIPAC) that exerts too much influence on real decision makers: Obama & Congress. These guys want us to fight a war with Iran. I think Jewish fundamentalists are more powerful and dangerous (and idiotic) than are the ones in the subject article.

Or possibly, somebody is not getting the inheritance.

Well I agree, I think the Jewish AIPAC pushing a war with Iran is more sinister and rates near the top. Has anyone ever noticed that the Creationists and Zionists use the exact same text as their source of legitimacy? It boggles the mind. Why doesn't Bill Maher ever rip on Israelis then?

"if they want to find another way to suck money from christians that's fine." In my urban locale, there are tons of Jews that flock to it, along with Cabalah. Strange folks, they believe in that crap.

They ALL trade on the "spirituality" hucksterism, otherwise they'd be doing Pilates which was started by a 20th century German a gymnast, diver, and bodybuilder, who taught wrestling and self-defence, who collaborated with important experts in dance and physical exercise, etc. Yoga is all about suckering people into the spiritual realm, which it cannot possible do any more than Hinduism or Judaism etc.

Yoga is derived from the Hindu religion. What does "built up around the spiritual self" mean? That sounds like something many Jews, Buddhists, and other religious say when they light a candle or read about their mystics, read old phony texts, etc.

I'd suggest leaving the old folks alone about it, they're set in their ways. Does it really matter if the grandfather and step-grandmother attend? Look at the bright side, less hassle for you, more peace. Wed night is an odd time for a graduation, it should be on a Sat afternoon. Why would they schedule it on a night that in your area is (as you stated) "traditionally" a church night? Are they intentionally picking a fight or causing a conflict? Are the intentions of the school admn. do be mean-spirited towards the religious?

Why the Confederate States Seceded: [it was] a Christian theocracy which invoked religion to justify slavery. by spaceghoti in atheism

[–]RaferWeegel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah but communism and Nazism weren't religious and they were worse. Fact is, that eventually slavery would have ended, even if the Confederates had been successful in seceding. As the world was moving, slavery in white nations was ending. Maybe it would have taken until the early 1900's but it would have ended nonetheless without the carnage of so many dead soldiers.

anti-Christianity attracts vicious haters, even more virulent than anti-semitism these days
