We have to rid the world of Judaism. Judaism is based on the stupid notion that some particular god exists. We know that this cannot be the case, because we can detect everything that exists with our senses and/or the various devices we build for detecting things. Also, if the god the Jews made up existed, it would never have allowed Hitler to kill so many of them. As a matter of fact, if there was a god, nobody would ever die—because no real god would have ever allowed any life to end. Ever.
Also, we can appropriately hold Judaism responsible for the emergence of those other two horrific belief-systems: Christianity and Islam. Christianity is responsible for more wars than any other belief-system ever in history. And believing in Islam makes you blow yourself up to get imaginary girls in the next life. So we should nip Judaism in the bud before it creates some other disastrous belief-system—like one that makes you want to get as much money as you can in life no matter how it affects others. If that ever happened, the world would be screwed.
Please understand that I am not advocating the execution of Jews themselves. Instead, I am saying that we should become more diligent and aggressive about making sure everyone knows that Judaism is a delusional and destructive belief-system that no decent, rational person would ever accept. If we can teach this in our schools, if we can get our message out through the media, if we will not be ashamed to state these obvious truths in our daily social conversations, we might be able to eliminate the cancer of Judaism from human discourse within a generation or two.
Now I know there are those of you who are going to claim that Judaism is not entirely bad. After all, Hendrix couldn’t have recorded “All Along the Watchtower” if a Jew hadn’t written it first—and we all have a soft spot for at least one Seinfeld episode. But Judaism, as the root-cause of Western monotheism, must be viewed on balance as perhaps the greatest single evil ever foisted on humanity by a tribe of superstitious, bloodthirsty savages.
So who among you is willing to step up to the plate? Or do you want to go on pretending to be rational people—even as you continue to tolerate this singularly pernicious crime against reason itself?

Date: 15/7/11 16:36 (UTC)The Tanach is composed of the Torah, or 'the Law' and the prophets, together with 'the Writings' - and I don't remember the Jewish names for those bits - but these 3 parts comprise what we may term ' The Jewish Bible' , for want of a better phrase.
And no, I don't think we should try to forbid or eradicate any religious creed. I know little about Judaism , but I do know that there are Liberal and Orthodox Jews, and these two broad categories have many subdivisions. each feels that it's way of interpreting Judaism is correct, and this is also true of other faiths I am sure.
We should rather look at what these faiths and the communities within them have to tell us. I will disagree with anyone , Jewish or Christian, who tells me that the world is only about 6,000 years old give or take an extra 5,000 either way.
I will disagree if they tell me that the God who created mankind ordered the destruction of every man woman and child in Ai, or was responsible for flooding the whole earth while telling Noah to build an ark and fill it with animals who rode out the flood.
I feel that such accounts are mythological, and should not be treated as history, but are comparable to the tales of Aesop, in that they possess some elements of spiritual truth , or were used to pass on moral lessons in a previous era.
But the real beauty of the Jewish faith was that it encouraged literacy - even a common working man would learn as a boy to read, and where we see an account of someone who was a mere 'tekton', a builder or carpenter, getting up to read in a Jewish synagogue in Galilee in the first century, we have to realise that such a thing could not have happened in England until nearly 2,000 years later.
This reverence for learning , the bringing together of a whole community to read and discuss a written document that contained ethical standards was truly a great achievement in the history of human civilisation. And we owe much of our present day culture to the legacy of this tiny nation and its religion.
