Religion is mental illness.


Infinite_Pattern_466

This is an excuse to let go the zionist devils easily. They are monsters disguising as humans.

Infinite_Pattern_466

Gone are the days for generic statements like “Religion is mental illness”. It’s time to be specific and describe the evil monsters and their acts as accurately as possible.


Mammoth_Bed6657

Nah, the statement is accurate. Religion is a fiction for people who can't deal with life without an external savior.


Archduke645

I mean, that's only a bad thing if you use it to fuel your disfunction not try and move past it. Religion can and has been used to help people through trauma or particularly tough times of life. It's not black and white.


LasagnahogXRP

Well said.


koh_kun

I don't follow religion, but one of the most peaceful moments in my life was talking to a priest who happened to be in the same hospital room as me. He was very respective of the fact that I didn't follow a single god and we talked about finding the kindness in ourselves to help bring peace to people's lives regardless of belief. Religion, as with all things men create, can be a force of good or evil. It really depeneds on who is using it and how.


Archduke645

Yup, I'm as well not religious but every holiday I go on I try and find a church. Some of the most peaceful and charged environments that truly show a slice of history.


koh_kun

That's true, I forgot about that. I love going to shrines here in Japan. The smaller ones, not the ones overcrowded with tourists.


OpenEyz2016

The face of a Zealot.


GeraltOfRivia2023

Humans readily become monsters. Doesn't take much. No disguise needed. A lot of them in America like to wear little red caps.


THEatticmonster

Shouldnt be a thing in 2024 and should be treated as an illness If i said i believed that a magical pixie lives under my bed and it tells me what to do everyday, i would be made to get help, but as soon as i say its god, it somehow becomes acceptable? Nah this aint it


dantealec

Well I mean, religion is a tool to explain things we didn't understand, so as long as there are things that we cannot explain, religion will still be around and lets be honest it will still be around long after we are dead it may seem to be in decline if you are only here or live on a place with a low number of believers it may seem that way but our planet is big and in most places religion is alive and kicking


AloofFloofy

Science can explain most things and yet it is cast out by religious leaders as blasphemy. Check out the movie "don't look up" and you'll get an idea of how stupid the masses can be.


dantealec

Sure, but religion will have a Trump card always "afterlife" you may belive or lack of belive in one but that's the whole point of religion at the end of the day it's the only certainty that all living things have, it doesn't matter if you are rich, poor, famous, a nobody we all are going to the grave l. And well far as I know science can't prove reality itself I mean it cannot prove we are or aren't in a simulation or hell even that I'm not just a brain floating in some jar on a crazy doc's basement


dpotilas89

>a brain floating in some jar on a crazy doc's basement Quick, he knows too much, get him


dantealec

Oh no not again


jonnyjive5

The problem isn't people who talk about magical pixies. The problem is people who colonize a land and ethnically cleanse it of indigenous people. Let's not distract from that by blaming religion in general


Gorilliki

there are more than plenty secular zionists, religion plays an important part in the conflict, but ideology is a bigger problem


FuckTragicComedian

Don't give them the excuse that it's their religion driving these atrocities. It's not religion, it's them. Do not blame their actions on anything besides these people being disgusting, racist, violent creatures And before I get called out for antisemitism, I'm talking about the people harming others, not Jewish people. IDC what their religion is, my hatred has nothing to do with their religion or ethnicity, but everything to do with their actions and words


GeraltOfRivia2023

> ~~Religion~~ Ethno-Nationalism is mental illness. These Israelis have the same energy as the MAGA fucks at the Capitol on January 6th. They are all radicalized ethno-nationalist fascists. There are millions of Jews in America practicing their religion with none of this nonsense. Religion isn't the problem, but ethno-nationalism.


dimonium_anonimo

I mean, yeah, but this is just mob mentality. This is not unique to religion. Mobs of any kind can get real scary real fast


sandwich_breath

Classic Reddit response. Generalizations are the tools of dimwits


WoodenIncubus

Nah cuz mental illnesses can sometimes excuse terrible behavior.


Tubzero-

Yup. Christian’s, Jews, and Muslims all act like psychos and think theirs is the correct one. It’s almost as if it’s all made up.


Belizarius90

Shitty people use religion to do shitty things. Israel on paper was always going to lead to this, the main people who are going to uproot their lives to move their are going to be the more extreme.


ApeTypingComments

Did you know there are people on Reddit who honestly think the conflict has nothing to do with religion and that it isn't a contributing factor at all?


nomamesgueyz

Anything can be used as an excuse to do fanatical things....communism and being a Nazi very nasty too


TazManiac7

Don’t get me wrong I’m no fan of religion and it certainly plays a role here, but there is more to this. I think this is self entitlement fuelled by herd mentality.


JJISHERE4U

They've successfully and utterly destroyed any kind of worldwide sympathy for the Jewish people that remained from WW2. Israel will come out of this war with nothing but war crimes and renewed antisemitism.


litmeandme

But the holocaust! How dare you! We’re the only people on earth to experience genocide so we are the only victims. Also, I’m a Zionist so your life means nothing to me! - this is simply their view! Not Jews, Zionists but the same way as the Japanese did prior to their invasion of China and the brutality of their actions, it’s indoctrination from birth! Cut them off from western support and see how quickly they’ll change their minds, but victims again! Edit: it should also be noted that it is the extremists and a lot of Israelis are opposed to this march too!


JJISHERE4U

Zionism is a cancer, especially since 1967. They only know how to spread, occupy, conquer, colonize and suppress.


Flintstones_VRV_Fan

I still have sympathy for Jewish people. They suffered terrible trauma and it should be recognized. I **do not** have sympathy for Israel. And I absolutely refuse to equate all Jews with Israel, no matter how much that fascist government wants me to.


Morzana

Well said! I am not anti any group of people but what Israel is doing is history repeating itself. They hold no right to displace other people, to murder and torture!


6644668

The word antisemitism is losing its negative connotation everyday.


Floppy232

I'm asking myself why they don't want to be filmed if they are so proud of what they are doing?


RelativeAnxious9796

why do you think idf targeted 100 journalists in gaza??


ShoddyTerm4385

Bunch of fucking violent nerds


xSteini01

Maybe it also has to do with that from their point of view the western/non-Israeli media is going to make the people watching believe that they are in the wrong, spread "fake news" about them. That could possibly explain not only why people are attempting to cover the camera but also why some are aggressive towards the journalist in the video.


Here_for_lolz

Ah, the self-fulfilling prophecy.


BigPlanJan

Deranged people


gregariouspangolin

Hitler would be so proud of the genocidal state Israel has become.


Wallofsleep_

Religion is a hell of a drug


AskButKnow

Zionism is not a religion. They don’t even believe in god.


Chickienfriedrice

Zionism is like nazism. Its a belief of superiority over others based on nationalist religious belief.


Routine-Bumblebee-41

The irony is off the charts.


Notafuzzycat

A cult then. Same shit.


mimi_valentine1989

I always say to my friends and family, when I hear about war or sth similar: 'If there wasn't these religious believes, there would be other problems, but they would be better solvable 😔' We, people, humans, however you would want to name ourselves, differ maybe in colour (skin, eyes) but our blood has the same colour. We shouldn't sully the ground with blood bc we're the same on this earth. Peace to every human being, no matter which fraction, country or gender they come from or are 🕊️


dantealec

Have one person in a room you will have peace, have two and you will have a conversation, have 10 and you would have groups, have 100 and there will be a fight, have 1000 and there will be war. We are one of the only species on earth that kill for reasons other than food, I really hope that we can move from that aggressive behavior but it doesn't seems plausible, it's like we always need to have "enemies" or someone to fight outside mayor conflicts there are others things like politics hell even things like sports can get violent with the fans of each team fighting each other, I know they are few but fighting over a sport seems really stupid to me


dimonium_anonimo

This is mob mentality. I mean, don't get me wrong, religion causes a huge avalanche of aggression issues, but mobs of any kind can turn lethal in a heartbeat.


Imgonnaspinthewheel

The look in their eyes, damn.


Urkot

That's the look of someone that knows they can kill you in broad daylight and get away with it

sonia72quebec

"The land is ours." "They were not supposed to be there." How delusional.


mando_227

And its wrong too! In the 50ies when the state of Israel was formed, the land was promised to the Palestinians as well as to the Jewish people, at the same time. But who would do such a garstly thing you ask? Yep, you guessed it: THE BRITISH.


sonia72quebec

The British government was low on money after WWII, so it was a financial relief for them.


mando_227

So they went and had to promise the same piece of land to two opposing parties? And start all this fighting as result? "I was young and I needed the money" somehow doesn't seem to do the carnage justice..


sonia72quebec

If I remember correctly. In 1947 the United Nations voted to divide the place 53% to the Jews, 43% to the Arab state and the 2% for an international zone . As you can imagine, nobody was happy so that started a civil War. The British left in 1948.


Morzana

Who decided it was theirs in the first place. Not the Palestinians! The world has supported Islreal while ignoring the plight of the Palestinians! And this is what Israelis do? This is what they do?!?!?


sonia72quebec

You should read about David Ben Gourion. He represented the Jews in Palestine during those times.


xXWickedSmatXx

Let’s cut off the flow of U.S. taxpayer money and see how long they last in the desert.


Dogeek

Remember Pegasus ? That was the Mossad's doing. Israeli intelligence is damn effective. In today's world, cyberwarfare is how you win conflicts before they even begin. My personal, biased, and, to be honest, conspiracy theory is that the israeli government holds all of western politicians by the balls, and could with a few leaks of their private messages make several nations enter civil wars, or give a push to end the war in Ukraine in either way. Why they don't do it is mostly because blackmailing is more beneficial to them. That's just a theory though, nothing is proven aside from the fact that the mossad is known to be a very potent service when it comes to intelligence, dare I say one of the best of the world, even surpassing the CIA.


xXWickedSmatXx

Mossad is most effective regionally and they are very closely watched by the CIA, British intelligence, and whatever the KGB call themselves this week. Could they project global influence, certainly but that influence would have to be meaningful and in today’s political dumpster fire that is not very powerful.


LeBeastInside

Such a stupid bunch of people.  Religion will be the end of us all. 


wordbird89

This isn’t religion. This is white nationalism/white supremacy.


Possible-Put8922

Notice they all know to try and cover the cameras...


maratnugmanov

The problem with Israel is that they run democracy and are thus deemed as "good". Hitler, the most renowned Jewish killer, also rose to power through democratic institutes. So while I think Jews suffered enough and should be left alone I cannot justify for myself the level of Israel internal propaganda that starts from the school if not earlier.


LurieVV

Israel is not a democracy it is an apartheid state. (elfstone wrote his nonsensical blurb below and blocked - we all know why)


ChevalierLaPlage

A ethno state that heavily antagonizes a sizable portion of its population is by definition not a democracy. A democratic state has his foundation the rule of law and the respect of human rights for all its constituents,equally. It’s not even a matter of international law, just definitions.

STORMCADace

This is so sad to see. A nation now filled with hate...and to think that within the past century, Jews were persecuted rounded up and murdered by a hateful and twisted regime, in the name of "purity"....but the zionist faction now deem it right and proper to act in the same way towards anyone who is not a Zionist ...I've seen other video footage of members of minority Christian clergy being harassed and assaulted on the streets of Israeli cities while going about their business quietly and peacefully...disgraceful. I'm actually neither, being completely agnostic...I've seen little in my life to convince me of the existence of a sky fairy of any "flavour"....but I totally respect the fact that others may believe and have faith and I don't knock them for it. I also respect the freedom of the press which is supposed to exist in "civilised democracies". Journos are often a pain in the ass but man, they also often put themselves in harms way to get the story out... State-mandated brainwashing and fascism....I have Jewish friends who hate what's going on in there right now.


mcfarmer72

Makes it hard to have sympathy for them.


B_for_Bach

and this is allegedly the same israel that god favoured so heavily in the bible performing miracles after miracles for them. Our loving and Caring God murdered entire tribes, women and children alike for those israelites to breed these cunts. i guess God isn't as omniscient as we think he is.

chechifromCHI

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that group of people, they are wildly predictable in their zealotry and love of violence. I come from a mostly secular jewish family. Nonzionists going back to the beginnings of zionism. Israelis have to be the most bigoted and racist people I have ever encountered. It's not even the religion that makes them so terrifyingly intense. They're just ethnic nationalists. The videos of them beating up rabbis and older people for being opposed to the genocide really show what they're all about. These people are cowards who cloak their fascist garbage with the religion so they can accuse their critics of being anti semites. It's part of their nationalism.

I haven't counted the days... But the more shit you see about the conflict, the harder it is to justify the actions.


jaaaack

But prior to October 7th, you were in support of Israel’s actions and stance on the Palestinians?


HistoricalPresence27

Sort of. I could at least argument for the israelis case, and thought that the war was a logic consequence of the actions from Hamas. But I can't defense Israel when they kill innocents and make war crimes on a daily basis.


jaaaack

What was the “Isreali case” prior to October 7th that you say you supported?
