Journal forkspoon's Journal: yeah religion really redeems humanity...
It's funny how the jew-muslim conflict is termed in national language. It's always "Israelis" versus "Palestinians", but let's face it here there is no real nationalistic war here and I'm not sure Palestine is even a nation. There certainly isn't a real ethnic divide between the two groups, because the groups ancestors come from the same place and were interbreeding for thousands of years...
They should just refer to the sides as jews and muslims because that's what it really boils down to anyways. "Jew soldiers kill 100 Muslim refugees in retaliation for Muslim woman suicide carbomb that killed 15 Jewish pregnant women with children." Why the fuck would they be fighting if it weren't for religion? There is no rational reason. Sure there have been other factors in history to start a war besides religion, but I'm saying this entire conflict is framed around religion. Speaking of which, check out another needless conflict taking place right now:

It turns out the islamic and hindu faiths are also very good at living next door to each other. The language in this story is especially funny because it quotes people talking about the tortured screams of women and children as they burn to death in the holy pursuit of their obviously true religion. There is more updated information on this if you care to look for it but it's just funny how all this death and needless strife is caused by people believing in anything. Why do they persist in lies when it brings them nothing but suffering? I can't really connect with anyone who's religious because all I can think of is their blatant irrationality leading to needless suffering.
