Organized religion can get fucked along with all these deathmongers using “god” as an excuse to kill or harm others.

That and Malaria.
Nah, your thinking of nationalism. WWI and WWII had very little to do with religion but in terms of body count far exceed the likes of the crusades. If you ask your average soldier throughout history why they’re doing what they’re doing patriotism will come up more often than God. Naked self interest would probably be the actual top reason but people don’t usually say the quiet part aloud.

Country/Nation is a rather new concept - most people throughout history would say which village/area they were from. It didn’t have to be a Holy War for the leader to say “we have to fight (invaders) because they are an affront to (whatever god.)”
I don’t imagine the average peasant would care the nation of the person taking taxes from them, so long as those taxes were low and that’s all they took. (I mean obviously they didn’t love paying taxes.) And remember, one of the reasons used for the taking of taxes was that leaders were ordained by God.
World War 1 and 2 weren’t a walk in the park. There are plenty of non-religious sociopaths that somehow find themselves in control of millions of people.

Hitler and Stalin couldn’t give less than a shit about any particular god or religion. They used any excuse to fund/justify their tyranny. People like that in power are the bane of mankind’s existence throughout the ages. Religion is just another tool for people like this to use use whenever it’s convenient.
“Gott mit uns”
need anyone say more?
Hitler …couldn’t give less than a shit about any particular god or religion.
I’d say he gave a pretty big shit about at least one religion.
I’m not sure how much one can harp on the whole “master race” thing before people stop trying to blame it on some actual scholarly disagreement about religious doctrine, as if Hitler and Stalin were so fucking pious. None of theae psychopaths give a shit about gods and religion.
“We all will have to provide answers to what happened on Oct. 7, myself included — but only after the war,” said Netanyahu.
So he wants more time for war crimes before anyone charges him with war crimes. And he’s referencing biblical prophecy and all but calling it a holy war. The man has lost his mind clearly.
The people of Israel and his supporters are on the hook as well.
Never again means never again, for any people.
If we actually start punishing genocide, there’s going to be a long line before Israel.
Wrong. You start with those who are doing genocide now and you go backwards.
Still a long line then.

I don’t understand responses like this.
Them are holy grounds on which israel and palestine stand, for all 3 abrahamic religions. Every one of them has a prophecy for the end of times which great powers that be will try and manifest into reality.
As long as religions exist, and as long as they have followers this orthodox in their “interpretation”, that area will remain in turmoil.
How this basic and all encompassing fact is not front and center in every discussion on this situation boggles my mind.
If Jerusalem were glass, those religions would struggle with their prophecies.
I am not proposing violence, I am, however, saying there are other ways it ends and nukes are proliferating over there. Missile guidance is so-so.
Hoooo boy. He’s legitimately trying to turn this into a holy war for Israelis. This is going to get messy (well, messier than it is already).
Invoking Christian text too. That way he can unify the Christian right on the side of Israel.
Delusional. I feel like he doesn’t necessarily care about his own people either, just want to commit genocide and take over land at any cost.
The fact that people still defend this guy makes me perplexed.
Right-wingers never give a shit about their own people.
Removing Netanyahoo will make the prophecy of a better society a reality
Great, the fucking crusades are back.
He should really really read up on his history before he fourth crusades Israel.

He literally sounds like all those terrorist religious zealots that I was told were such a threat for bringing sharia law to ‘the homeland’ after 9/11. How long will rational thinkers have to suffer under the weight of ignorant frauds like Netanyahu and their magic fan fictions. What a absolute sick joke of an ideology.
Biden: “Yep, this is our guy. Full support. Now I’m going to go home and push through KOSA and make anything pro-gay online illegal. What are the democrats going to do? Vote against me? That only help Trump.”
Basically he means the coming of the Messiah which is funny because
Christians and Muslims believe the anti christ will show up pretending to be the Messiah and lead the Jews astray
Also
In a death that resembles that attributed to Isaiah in Lives of the Prophets, Muslim exegesis recounts that Isaiah was martyred by Israelites by being sawn in two
There’s so much religious irony in this statement, I’m sure anyone could find more examples of comedy lol
History always fondly remembers the guy who said “God needs us to kill all of those people”.
This guy is no different from the criminals of Daesh.
Netanyahu use “Activate Evangelicals” on Republicans
Its super effective!
What’s funny is that saying Isaiah’s Prophecy will be fulfilled is completely opposite to Christianity, since Christians believe is already was fulfilled with the birth of Jesus.
Bruh you think they’ve actually read and understood the old testament?
Or the New Testament?
You’re lucky if they’ve looked at the pictures in the “picture book” versions for kids.
They’ve read Left Behind and that’s all they care about.
Fuck you Bibi. That is all.
If Israel’s god was real, would it have allowed the October 7 attacks to happen to his chosen people? Of course not.
Every single ethnic cleansing in history is rooted in lies and this one is no different.
Uh. Even in the OT God didn’t really do that very often. They might’ve done any number of minor things to earn some wrath.
Glad to see grand delusions being used in critical decision making.
