   There’s a Jew and a Christian fighting on NAS this morning.
   What a strange happenstance, I’ve never seen this before🙄

     Are U making these theories up as U write them?

     They murdered millions and they are at it again! It is not about a scapegoat.

     It is about rectifying history. By doing so the war crimes of USA and United Kingdom will also be brought to light.

     Russia have already opened their records and publicly admitted their war crimes and corrected their history.

     But we choose to live with a lie?

     Scapegoat? The only scapegoat used to cover up war crimes is Adolf Hitler.

     I don't think you can rectify history. You can only set up a sensible order and move future forward.

     I would say it is about time.
     As long as we live in senility we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over.

     We forget the past because we delete it.
     
     Abrahamic religions are more similar than different; the conflict with "the Jews" is mostly the West wanting a scapegoat for the damage done by the equality cult, but also good o' ethnic differences.
     
     Our struggle with Islam is more about the ethnic groups who are Muslim than the religion itself, which is very similar to Christianity and Judaism, sort of like halfway between them.

     Religions are created to solidify the power of the state. Islam wasn't a religion that led to the Caliphates. Tom Holland makes the case that ibn al-Zubayr retroactively applied a story that was growing in popularity (the one of Muhammad) as a myth to solidify the rule of the Caliphates (similar to how Constantine canonized the modern version of Christianity to justify the divine right of the Roman Empire):

     The "Jews" of ancient Judea were exterminated in 135 AD by Emperor Hadrian. They few that escaped expanded again by conversion to the various people at the intersection of modern day Iraq/Iran/Turkey.

     People grab onto political and ethnic identities to justify expansionism. But the vast majority of people in those groups don't really understand that. Americans don't really understand the extend every president has pushed endless war, just as many Jewish people don't really understand their leaders want to dominate the entire middle eastern world. The group is the scapegoat.

     I learn things sometimes, and one for me is to stop hating religion itself, but to move people toward saner religion.
     
     That means less detail for the religion, since there is much we cannot know as mortal meat-sacks stranded in short lifespans.

     A quibble, but important:
     
     "Religions are created to solidify the power of the state."
     
     Or maybe the state seizes on them because they are useful, AND people need "some kind of" religion.

     Peterson had some line/quote about how you can't choose not to have a religion .. you can only choose which religion to have
     
     .. and if you don't like the term "religion," I had a youth pastor who'd use "belief system." Everything from Freud to science to the supernatural is really a set of belief systems.
