AM I AN ANTI-SEMITE, OR BEING ANTI-SEMITIC? PART 13.

Might it, therefore, not have been the case that 'Jewish exceptionalism.'  Had developed partly as a defence mechanism, strategy to survive against and prevailed over the opposition which they have been subjected to by other tribes?  Both in the Middle East and in Europe? From this perspective, there is no longer any need for me to see 'Jewish exceptionalism' as a problematic concept of reality.  Especially when I take it a step further, and see the friction and animosity and hatred between Jews and Christians and Muslims, as not so much a visceral one.  But rather that of a conflict between the evolution of their religions, and their Gods.   And their scribes, disciples and followers' interpretations about what is and should be, the relationship between their God, who I consider to be a non-existent god. It seems to me that the early Christians, having given up their own Gods, and the worshipping of them. Either forcefully or willingly, to

How can 'love' be bought, be attested to, or be honoured and validated, by such butchery, such murderous acts?  As I have said, if it is being done for 'love', then, how do these demons, these humanoids, define this 'love'?  A 'love' which is soaked in the blood of the innocent children, women and men whose lives and bodies they have destroyed?  Whose mutilated bodies are weighted in to other arm of the scales on which their 'love' is also on display?  A 'love' which is being characterised, at its highest or basest level, by being transformed into a murderous display of absolute hatred towards Christians. How can such a thing be called 'love'? Because, if it is perceived by these religion humanoids as 'love' and 'fealty' to their 'God' and to their religion.  Then let us humans move away from the over-valuing of love, and aspire towards mutual respect and empathy for all humans, as

This is how views and worldviews, whether they are for or against, ensure the survival or destruction of people.  Just consider, for example, a closer look or analysis of my current view that one of the biggest 'sin' of the Jews, as a distinct tribe of humanity, is what I consider to be their projection of their 'exceptionalism.'  So what, if orthodox Jews perceive themselves as being 'exceptional' in relation to the other tribes of us humans?  What if they see themselves as being 'better', 'worthier', 'more beloved of God, Jehovah' than the rest of humanity?  Is that mindset not the mindset of all other tribes of humans; of the 'gentiles', as Jewish historeligious doctrine refers to 'non-Jews?'  And, yes has to be the answer, at least, pre-political correctness, and the United Nations Convention regarding the basic rights and equality of all humans. So, looking at the self-and or other perce

So, how do you, me, or anybody else, comprehend the mentality, the lack of basic empathy and humanity.   Which another seemingly human person, must be possessed by, to calmly walk into a church, patting the head of a child.   As he purposely proceeded on his genocidal mission to explode the bomb on his back and kill as many people as power of his bomb is able to accomplish?  How do we make sense of such madness?  What can be the motive which drives the men and women who have brought such shocking and catastrophic destruction of human lives to the people of Sri Lanka?  Killing more than 360 and maiming probably more than double that number?  What is it that could have caused the pregnant wife of one of the suspected bomber, to blew up herself and her 4 children?  What in the name of 'God' that has, that can make people so crazy? So inhuman, that robs them of all vestiges of any humanity they might have had before they fell into the pit, the hell-hole, the ut

Or that ''God' lives within us'. Which could either makes us feel powerful, being the host of or possessed by 'God', as it were,  Or could lead to us being probably terrified of having 'God' living in us and being aware of all of our thoughts, our feelings, our plans, and our actions.  And, of course, there is the 'answer' which stipulates that 'God is everywhere, omnipresent, as well as being omnipotent.  But, as we all know, there is a danger, a weakness in becoming too stretched, having too many things to cover and being responsible for.  Even 'power', when stretched too much, loses its potency. Which is probably the main reason or reason, why 'God', despite people's claims to the contrary.   Is so ineffective in His intervention into the affairs of the world, of humans. The truth is that we, ordinary mortals, as opposed to our leaders who reign over us, do have some control, or, probabl

Would they believe that to be the case, even though it could confer so much benefit on the whole human race?   With probably very little or not real, as opposed to imagined negative consequences.?  Would the fact that all humans would then be at liberty, free to enjoy the pleasures of this, their earthly and only life.  Embolden them/us, to see and exclaim this truth?   That all religions that places god and the gods above us humans, are the enemy of the people? And by all religions, I am particularly talking about those which our ancestors, though not having been advanced as us, have set over us.   And which we, in our servility and fear of the imaginary and invisible deities. Refuse to declare the truth about.  Namely that the gods are of the creation of our ancestors, and have not power, except that which the faithful and the fearful adorn them with. And that now, we, humans, can go forth and make of the world whatever we are able to make of it, because we are t

Of course, there is also the argument that, this imaginary state, paradise, will actually be one given rise to by the transformation of the Planet Earth.  An event which might, indeed, be considered less magical but more tenable.  As this option would do away with the monumental logistically challenge for the resurrected and transformed souls of humans, of the faithful and the unfaithful, the believers and the unbelievers.  To have to be flown, probably many light years through the celestial firmament, to a place called 'Heaven.'  A challenge which would become even more onerous, when we consider that, 'paradise' cannot be a paradise.   If it were to be devoid of other faunal and floral life; of birds, wild animals, trees, plants, flowers, lakes and rivers, and other things which make the lives of us humans enjoyable, bearable.  And which would, in their physical or 'spiritual' state, need to adorn our 'paradise', if it is

There is a saying, that 'the truth sets you free.' It might not be clear what it is, that 'the truth', would set you and or me free from.  We know, for example, that, in the case of a child telling his/her parents 'the truth' about what really happened to the missing cookie, or that they did browsed the forbidden website.  They might 'free their conscience', if they really are bothered about the moral or religious reprimand about telling lies, or, an untruth, since the two are not necessarily the same thing.  But there is a consequence for telling the truth, just as how their is a consequence for telling a lie, or untruth.  In this case, said children might be punished by having privileges removed from them, or even getting a spanking.  In more serious cases, 'telling the truth', can result in much more severe punishment. Such as incarceration, ostracism, and even death. And what about religions? What if the people, both tho

However, although that would have been a reasonable conclusion.  It could only be one which is based on a superficial analysis or ignorance of the fundamentally inequitable and misogynistic basis.   On which the relationship between men and women are predicated, in probably all human societies.  One which probably has its most eminent example in how the 'Abrahamic God', appeared to have 'made woman', as an after-thought, so that she could become an helpmate to Adam. And there is also the question of, 'where does 'God' lives?  A question which us humans have tended to responded to with a range of 'answers.'  Such as that, 'God' lives in 'Heaven', meaning somewhere out in what is infinite space.  Space, which, when we give some serious and rational thought to imagining that 'Heaven' is, or could be another planet or planets somewhere out there, probably in the Exosphere or beyond.  Is rather

Just as how the black and African people had been labelled inferior, by the doctrinal fountain. 'Capital' needs 'labour', at least in the absence of sufficient 'robotisation', in order to 'reproduces' itself, just as how 'labour' needs 'capital' in the form of wages or salaries', in order to maintain or sustain itself.  However, motivated by their 'separatist perspective, and lack of trust. They both develop, 'rationalise' and institutionalise their 'mutual mistrust of each other.  Denying their common ancestry and relationship, and substitute in its place, the 'doctrine of mutual mistrust and illogical hatred of one another. The archetypal Jewish doctrine seems to be premise on what I have come to refer to as 'Jewish exceptionalism'; the Jewish people being the favourite of God, of Jehovah.  Whereas the archetypal Christian doctrine is based, it seems to me, on the premise the
