“ “They’re thinking: ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon and all that, but they were wrong,” said Raab, who majored in biology at the University of Illinois before joining the Israel Defense Forces. “That’s what you have snipers for.” “

        No it’s not. It’s a spooky scary story from an old mentally ill man’s book. Remove the facade. There is clearly no Jewish god or any other god. It’s all bullshit.

          That’s beside the point though. Or do you think this little war is actually about what it means to be Jewish? Because it is not.

            Nope. Grow the fuck up. Spooky stories are not worth killing over. If you can’t give up the spooky stories. Go get deprogramming help from Cult rehabs.

        Not really.

        He believes in an ancient dogma that still advocates for cutting off the foreskins of newborn males so they can’t enjoy sex as much as an adult.

        It was time to renounce his faith the moment he learned about it, as is the case for all major religions.

          I see the ignorance is of the wilful variety. You don’t know what he believes. You’re constructing a transparent narrative for your own emotional needs. You clearly do not legitimately care for his interests, or you would be approaching this with compassion and empathy instead of as a bigot. Get a grip and at least stop telling on yourself. We get it, you have religious trauma, stop the fucking world.

                Lol. Calling me a bigot while defending organized religion is rich.

                I’m just going to write you off as another average internet user and move on with my life. You can respond if it makes you feel better, but I won’t see it.

                Goodbye, and good luck!

                  You’re reading things in and expanding your fictional narrative. Come back to reality, dude. Here’s an exercise to help you find your way: point out one thing I said that defends the concept of organized religion. You want to think I’m doing that because it suits the way you want to see the world. You want to crush all nuance into simple certainty, and you don’t care what happens to truth in the process. Everything you’ve written has in fact been about you and your own emotional needs.
