That's not as easy as it sounds! The amount of camels I went through: the League Against Cruelty to Dromedaries is still after me!

I always took this to mean that the rich have to die and be put through a blender before they can reach heaven.

I'm not familiar with objectionable practices in Judaism outside things like circumcision. From what I understand the ultra-Orthodox are very insular. What makes Judaism repulsive to you?
Christianity and Islam both have some moral evolution from the fear god of the Old Testament/Torah. That god is pretty terrifying and the worst kind of god that could be worshipped. The straight old school barbarism.

That, too. And the number of blenders I've ruined on THAT experiment...
Oh ****! Didn't see the bit about having to die first....

Europe: Jihadists Posing as Migrants
"More than 50,000 jihadists are now living in Europe."

  • Europe: Jihadists Posing as Migrants
    "More than 50,000 jihadists are now living in Europe."
  • Europol, the European police office, has identified at least 30,000 active jihadist websites, but EU legislation no longer requires internet service providers to collect and preserve metadata — including data on the location of jihadists — from their customers due to privacy concerns. De Kerchove said this was hindering the ability of police to identify and deter jihadists.

Like I said Idk if this is common knowledge or not, but most of you haven't a clue what's in Islam as your entire understanding comes from critics
I knew about the Jesus as prophet thing, but not the Original Sin thing. Nice to know that an Abrahamic religion doesn't start out by calling its followers subhuman scum who should all burn in hell but God's such a nice guy that he's still looking out for us despite his better judgement.

Not true. In the Old Testament you can see normal people, longing for normal life ( to have a spouse, property etc). In the New Testament there are only dreamers with 'spiritual' pipe dreams and illusions.

And there are also people willing to murder their children just cause God said so, but it's okay he really didn't mean it, he just wanted to traumatize the poor guy to stroke his ego. And... that one guy who got eaten by a whale... that sounds pretty not cool.
