This feels pretty fucking dumb.

So you’re saying that because a religion allows you to choose which of God’s commandments, carefully passed down through every generation, you personally want to follow based on your gut feeling, can’t be shamed?
No, that is not what I said.
Why should the ones who choose to deny parts of their religion be seen as representative of it over those who’ve chosen to uphold them?
I definitely answered this in my original comment.
Because if the majority of people following a particular religion reject a prior view as false or wrong, then arguably that view is no longer part of the religion.
Religions aren’t crisp, unchanging, monolithic entities where everybody believes the same thing forever. If we’re talking about judaism in the sense of the views and practices jewish people actually subscribe to, then that seems like we are referring to beliefs they actually hold in a mainstream/current sense, not beliefs they previous held but now reject?
if the Palestinians are blameless then why arent they rounding up hamas cultists and giving them to the Israelis?
This point specifically is bat-shit fucking stupid enough to deserve its own comment. It makes absolutely no sense at all for random Palestinian civilians to take on the dominant military power of the region they live in in the middle of an armed conflict and trying to use that as justification for your earlier points is stupid.
You should learn to distinguish between systems of governance, political parties in power and the innocent people subject to these things. It is incredibly stupid to use this faulty reasoning to justify hatred for millions of innocent people and you are a piece of shit for choosing to do this.
Also, your point about the “Palestinian government” knowing who “each and every Hamas member is” juxtaposed by you talking about “studying history” is pretty funny. You realize Hamas is the defacto controlling political party governing the Palestinian territories right?
There’s approx 14 million Palestinian people. To claim all of them are as bad as a group like Hamas is either incredibly stupid or incredibly bigoted.
Helping “bad people”? There’s nothing inherently more bad about Palestinians than any other nationality.
I’m pretty partial to vim.
This is awesome. Thank you for this!
Paywalled. Is there a free version of this article or a workaround?
I only program in languages equivalent to an oracle turing machine.
I can’t trust you on this because you are using the words ‘true fact’.
You can probably actually do this reliably in cases where those political views work against the persons interests. It’s not like people voting against their own interests is an uncommon phenomenon.
I’m sorry my mom called you “pretty fucking dumb”. I know that must have hurt your feelings.
