Colonizers always use religion to justify their crimes
Colonizers always use religion to justify their crimes
The only difference here being that Jews were fleeing oppression and nobody wanted to take them in as refugees, so maybe not as simple as you make it
Palestine did, from the 1800s, decades before WWII
Religion justifies atrocities
Aaaaaaaaaa--meeeeeen
Also, the other way around. Good people will do good things. Bad people will do bad things. But for good people to do bad things and believe they're doing good... that takes religion.
fair point
the colonizers in the ME are Arab Muslims, babe. but folks like you never want to talk about that
I wish you endless suffering.
aw. aren't you sweet. typical hamasshole response tho. you all hate facts ✌️
And also the Israelites. Don't you know your scriptures? So, when do you leave?
lmao when you all stop with your Jew hate. So I expect I'll stay forever.
Ok, it turns out you are the one who really hates facts. 💁🏻♀️🤣
sure ✌️

They need religion to justify the injustices. It’s not just spiritual, it’s political. Religion has always operated as a political ideology, and that’s the sad part
Politics can only control what people say and do. Religion can control what people *think*.
Without a religion to justify the injustices that would otherwise be considered crimes, the injustice would be so absurdly in your face that nobody would support them…
All in the name of their god. I guess that makes it right
If God isn't the kind and loving but fairly powerless God I see her as, I don't care that I'd be wrong because I refuse to worship something with worse morals than a mortal, fallible, human such as myself… Even if that means burning in hell for an eternity, at least I wasn't worshipping a monster…
The people being colonized had religions, too, but they didn’t use them to justify theft
Sure, religion isn't an inherently bad thing, just like money isn't. But they are both extremely powerful amplifiers for who you already are and what good or evil you can do/convince others to do. My point was that without religion amplifying their evil, it wouldn't have been successful…
Oh, sure they did.
