Ancient Tribalisms and Superstitions Should be Shut Down

 I just watched videos showing Gazan parents carrying wounded children into the emergency rooms of hospitals.  It is a bit surprising that they even have hospitals in Gaza.  What should your emotional reaction be to visual images like this?

 Both sides in the conflict are part of the YHWH cult, as are American Evangelicals, as well as American Jews, who are mostly-secularized!  Even NATO countries are one-sided in their support of Israel despite religion being pretty much dead in Europe.

When will the world say finally say, "To hell with YHWH.  It is time to put these ancient superstitions and tribal fanaticisms aside.  They have caused enough suffering."

How does the West reconcile their mighty Multiculturalism with one-sided support of Israel? Don't Palestinian Lives Matter?  If we are supposed to 'Celebrate Diversity' and all cultures are equally valid, then what is evil about Palestinian culture?  What hypocrisy!

That is my reaction to these disturbing images: I travel back in time to the Enlightenment of the 1700s and become anti-religious.  Baron d'Holbach was right.

All religions start off as cults. Once their memberships grow to acceptable levels, they are awarded the "organized religion" title. These are existential blood feuds we're seeing in real time. There is absolutely nothing that will ever end it until one side kills off all of the other side. It's not the Hatfields and McCoys!
Anonymous, I like your "they are awarded" line!
