Well Jews don't get a pass either. Their holy book also has a boss who watches over condones and or commits acts of cruelty to outside tribes. The Holocaust was a blight on humanity that should never be repeated. But now Jews fail to understand that they really are not doing anything differently to Palestine that Christianity did to Native Americans.
I don't say that because I want to wipe Israel off the map or that Islam are saints. I say that because our species logic is flawed and religion is why they do it. I am still for a secular Israel, just not a Jewish state.
Jews don't seem to understand that anti Jewish sentiment was huge in America, and you still have Christians who blame Jews for the murder of Jesus. And the Christian bible doesn't befriend Jews because all of them will make it into heaven with them. The end of the book makes a Jewish nation runner up prize for Jews.
I was just watching a clip of Hitchens explaining "How religion poisons everything" and I agree. But he said in that clip the sub title wasn't meant to be a stunt, but a statement of fact. As he right fully put it it makes otherwise reasonable people do horrible things.
So I think humans should stop chasing utopias and making boarders or loyalty oaths patents out of old books. Ann Frank was right that humans are good at heart, but that does not make a god real.
