A Final Solution to the Problem of Religion

[pastorlenny.livejournal.com]

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?

If it helps, let me further clarify:

I am logically and morally incapable of liking ANYTHING "unequivocably and without reservation," including MY OWN CONTINUED EXISTENCE, or even the continued existence of HUMANITY AS A SPECIES, because past certain points, and under certain conditions, I believe that the continued existence of ANYTHING could potentially qualify as WRONG.

EVERYTHING in this world must EARN its continued existence. If it is corrupted or perverted, or if it can no longer fulfill its purpose, or if it's hurting that which it was intended to help, then there's a case to be made that it needs to go away, no matter how good it used to be. It's why I support the legalization of suicide, because even though I tend to see most suicides as all-too-permanent solutions to temporary problems, there are a number of people for whom merely EXISTING becomes too painful to endure, because of either incurable illnesses or profound personal losses, so ultimately, who am I to stop them from easing that pain?

I guess your position on suicide would be relevant if all the Jews in the world suddenly decided to kill themselves.

[box-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

My position on it is relevant precisely because I want you to understand that, when you insist that I should ALWAYS want for Judaism to exist, you're insisting that I confer a privilege upon Judaism that I literally don't confer on anything else in existence, including my own life, because I refuse to say that I would ALWAYS want ANYTHING to exist.

But it's just like you to deliberately miss the fucking point, so I shouldn't be surprised that you've remained so true to form.

It is interesting that you are unable to distinguish between making a decision to end your own life because you don't think it's worth living anymore -- and wanting Jews to no longer exist because you don't think they're worth having around anymore.

I just hope they don't put you in charge!

And once again, you're oversimplifying my position, and doing so intentionally.

I already stated my criterion for Judaism and every other religion to justify their continued existences, which is a bit more than "they're not worth having around anymore," and which is certainly different than the criteria that I explicitly stated for why I could consider supporting someone's decision to end their own lives (you know, the stuff that you once again glibly dismissed as irrelevant to the discussion?). But then, that would actually require you to ADDRESS my points, rather than AVOIDING them, which you've been doing throughout this conversation.

It is interesting that you are unable to distinguish between making a decision to allow someone to end his or her own life because he or she doesn't think it's worth living anymore -- and making some moral evaluation about the continuing existence of Jews as an entire class of person.

The analogous position would actually be "I think that person should kill himself -- because I have come to the determination that his life is not worth living anymore."
