OP/ED......Blasphemy&Cussing involved........

[Brian37]

Warning........Do not read further if you are thin skinned. The rant you are about to read isn't a call to end religion, but an expression of my disdain for how humans take bad ideas and use them to perpetuate human division an ignore the elephant in the room. ...........I think humans can do better for each other by taking their heads out of the sand and accept a problem so they can fix it.

RatioanalPoet.......OP/ED RANT MODE........Ok, I am old enough to know all the current bullshit excuses from Palestine and Israel are just that. BULL FUCKING SHIT. If I hear one more Muslim or one more Jew hand me bullshit excuses that I am a bigot because of violence I am not involved in, I am going to fucking cuss even more and bitch you dipshits out even LOUDER. I am sick of religious idiots both on the left and right ignoring the elephant in the room. IT IS ABOUT RELIGION YOU DIPSHITS. NO NO NO, you do not have to go away, it is absurd for either to claim that is a goal. But I am fucking tired of both sides blowing smoke up the world's ass claiming land issues or "I was here first" issues knowing this is about "My sky daddy can beat up your sky daddy". Now please shut me up, I would love nothing more than to not have something to bitch about. I would love it if I was not seeing murder after murder justified by both sides. This bullshit judmental crap that the other is wrong is because humans use old comic books and justify gang mentality to the outsider and ignore the blatantly obvious. SO PLEASE SHUT ME UP PLEASE. You claim your god EITHER is about peace. FINE. GOOD, then stop fucking hiding behind religion and accept it has no place in boarder wars or politics.BOTH SIDES NEED TO FUCKING KNOCK IT OFF. There is more than two religions on this planet and you assholes are dividing humanity over BULLSHIT. /Rant off.

I write this out of frustration for my fellow humans, not because I expect a utopia myself. Yes everyone wants peace, but it cannot be had through the idea of social pecking orders. Humans do not understand when they say "I want peace" what they really want is peace as long as they are the top of the chain. If they stop allowing religion as the excuse and accept it as the reason, they will solve problems, but until they do this will keep going.

It really must be noted that unfortunately both sides of this conflict are doing what humans evolutionary wise do.

You get attacked, you respond to that by seeking protection from the group you are used to protecting you. In turn you are going to seek powers that are going to stand up for you. This is where the cop out "politics" is used to avoid the core cause of religion.

Lets look at human behavior without religion for a second. Any parent with more than one kid can tell you that those kids compete for attention. Live in a big enough neighborhood with many kids, you also know that a parent can falsely stick up for their kid even if the kid is wrong. That is just kids.

Now, violence in any situation, such as being beaten up, or raped, or seeing it on the battle field can cause PTSD. And even without directly being physically harmed, the threat of harm can also be traumatizing.

Now, back to this conflict. What causes fear in Israelis is the same thing that causes fear in Palestinians. The trauma of physical violence and the emotional trauma of fear of violence. Now having said that, any human is going to circle the wagons around the power they think will protect them the best. This is literally evolution at work.

The evidence that it is about religion is abundantly clear, and without accepting it as the cause, both sides will see the other as a sub species instead of the same species. When a Palestinian Muslim is killed, or they watch a kid killed what do we see constantly from the survivors traumatized by that violence? We see them pray to Allah and turn to religious based power. When the two teens went into the Synagogue and murdered the 4 Jews, what did we see? We saw them react in prayer to Yahweh, and turn to a power structure that holds the same religious beliefs they do. Again, if you as a human get attacked, you are going to look for protection from like minded people and the strongest like minded people.

This will not be solved until religion is taken away as an excuse for either side. It is a club mentality just like a street gang only with weapons and a bigger political structure. But the trauma of violence or threats of violence in our species reaction to such, has never changed. This has to be accepted in order to solve problems.
