    When religious people talk like this I wonder if they really believe it or are just milking their religion for all it is worth. Neither one of those is good.

      I’m convinced that the religious are in a constant state of cognitive dissonance and they behave like this as a coping mechanism. Anyone who believes in their religion this strongly needs an extreme mental health intervention.

      Israel is different.

      The amount of propaganda that is fed to Jewish people worldwide to create the narrative that they’re superior and God’s chosen people is unbelievable. All this so they move to Israel and settle there, providing “legitimacy” to Israel’s claim of being the Jewish homeland.

      I believe there was a Jewish content creator from Brooklyn or something who talked about this extensively, how common it is from childhood to be repeatedly told that you’re superior to your peers because God said so
