I agree with everything but the last bit. I've never been more certain that "God" doesn’t exist.
They believe life is a test and God isn't going to magically fix all good and evil because it's up to human who are being tested to do so.
Who bombed Anas Al Sharif? God?
Since God knows everything that's going to happen, kinda.
Can actively stop it too. Just malicious negligence atp
You know the IDF is murdering kids too. Does that mean you are responsible for them doing so?
Why would I be responsible? I'm not God. It's not within my power to stop them, unlike God.
Yes. The same god that tells the Jewish people that they are the chosen ones, and Israel is their promised land. The idea of that god, specifically, directly was the impetus for the death of every Palestinian that has been killed so far in their genocide.
It's ethnosupremacy that's killing Palestinians not religion. Zionism was made by an atheist, not calling out Zionism for what it actually is lead us to this problem in the first place. The victims say it's a racist ideology and the oppressors can genuinely get fucked.
But yeah ur right, God is a myth
Zionism has secular roots, but it has definitely been picked up by- and is currently used primarily by religious extremists. To say Zionism is atheistic is inaccurate at best.
Oh I know, I'm not saying it's a religious or secular ideology inherently. Just that it will change itself to fit the group that's carrying out the genocides.
If it's religious zealots then it will be religious, if it's secularists then it will be secular.
Fair enough.
"It's god's fault that I'm killing children, why would god do this?"
In a sense, they're not wrong. Though instead of God isn't going to magically grant humanity world peace, Zionists decided to go with God isn't going to magically rid us of all the undesirables.
Frequent references to God are pretty common in the Middle East, even among people who aren’t particularly religious.
It’s like if I wrote the same thing and ended it with “Jesus fucking Christ man” and your clever contribution was “Jesus fucking Christ man won’t save you”…
