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.

The also trace all Islamic terrorism to the Quran, instead of considering the impact of centuries of imperial colonization and resource exploitation, two critical components of modern-day Middle Eastern terrorism.

Yeah why complain about all the dead kids that God killed to prove a point to the Devil, a being God allows to exist because he doesn't want sycophantic believers, but if you're not a sycophantic believer you'll burn in a lake of fire and sulfur for all eternity. So yeah, God's not a callous monster. Seriously, let's not forget that it wasn't discomfort or dead cattle or a charred house. God killed all of Job's sons and daughters. To prove a point. To a being he created and ostensibly has control over.

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.
