PURE EVIL: Orthodox Jewish kids traumatized by school bus hate crime
[Writer’s note: I was raised Jewish and now am an atheist, for reasons I’ll make very clear very fast.]
I don’t care who you hate. Why can’t you just keep it to yourself, though? Why do you have to show the world how you were carefully taught to hate others who aren’t like you? And why do you have to take your self-hate out on anybody else? Yell at your terrible parents, it’s their fault they taught you to be angry instead of loving.
I don’t care if you believe in a God/dess. Why can’t you keep that to yourself, either? Why do you have to be so pushy with your beliefs if someone doesn’t align with you? If you believe in the Sky Daddy/Mommy, I hear tell s/he’s supposed to belong to everybody.
So if that’s the case, what does it matter how somebody loves them? More people have been killed in the name of “I love my God more than you love your God,” which is about the whitest hot irony of all white-hot ironies. And you can’t see the hypocrisy, which makes it even worse.
But yet here we are, in the year of your chosen Lord 2022, and people are still going around hurting each other over a book that didn’t fall out of the sky which is all about a being no one’s ever proven to exist. Meanwhile, Kanye and Kyrie did a whole lot of antisemitisms that went unpunished for far too long, because all of the worst people have been emboldened by the other worst people over the last seven years.
