Israel might have just escalated this wide open. They’ve smashed Iran’s nuclear facilities and Iran are furious threatening all sorts.

Israel must have done some damage.
 
Thing is, Christianity, Islam, even Judaism are all still relatively young in terms of this planet and the existence of all of its indigenous peoples ... if those events in the middle-east were really so important to humanity's future, you wonder why 'God' didn't just put ethereal Big Screens up around the rest of the world so that everybody on the planet could watch and take note?

Just saying <whistle>
Interesting, although I found Billy Butcher's God critique more on point:

This is why I have faith in a higher power but reject all religion. I’ve created my own god and he’s great. The best one about, imho.

He’s not needy. He doesn’t want me to dedicate my life to him. He’s not an egotistical maniac who wants me to pray and worship him all the time.

If I want a chat, need a little help or guidance then I just ask him when required. He’s cool with that. Easy going guy. I like him.

I generally ascribe to the "don't be a dick" philosophy, and actually own it in the real world if you do something wrong. It's better than being a **** cos you've always got the imaginary guy upstairs to forgive it.

Holocaust denyin emotional blackmail Zionist style bantZ pulled out by Windy our resident IDF soldier lol
It simply is a media outlet that specialises in Holocaust denial and propaganda for terror groups. Even the PA considered them a bit much. All the grifters on the Palestine bandwagon jumped on this immediately but nothing actually happens.

Funnily enough when I put that to my local vicar many years ago he banned me from the church and suggested I become a Buddhist
 
and they wonder why the churches are empty.
The crazy thing about our three religions is all have the same Old Testament origins, founders are all descended from the 12 tribes that fled Egypt to reach the Promised Land and the division was Jesus
The Jews thought he was a terrorist trying to destroy their ancient religion and crucified him, the Christians essentially forgave the Jews because without the Crucifixion and the (alleged) Resurrection Christianity would not exist, to Islam Jesus was the second most important prophet after Mohamed but I have no idea if that is why they hate the Jews

While he deserved it, you should give the Romans some credit.

The Christians didn't forgive the Jews.

They persecuted them and subjected them to unimaginable treatment for ages.

Started with the conversion of the Visigoths to Catholicism in 587 and continued pretty much unrelentingly until John Paul II's apology for it all in 1998.

I am of the opinion that Catholicism is one of the worst things to have ever happened in the history of religion, and couldn't give a toss who that offends. The suffering caused by that branch of Christianity is beyond all human comprehension.
