Religion continues to poison everything
The last few decades sure have been bad ones for organized religion. Conservative Christians have decided that the sum total of the Bible is about reestablishing the sex and gender mores of the 19th century. Liberal Protestantism is so unassuming that hardly anyone even remembers it exists. The Catholic Church has been responsible for the deaths of millions in Africa thanks to its mindless belief that God hates condoms. Much of Islam has been taken over by the toxic Saudi strain. Israel has turned into an apartheid state. Hindus in India are apparently now dedicated to creating a religiously pure state. And even Buddhists have been acting badly lately.

"Israel has turned into an apartheid state", well i disagree with Drum. Judaism and the State of Israel are two different things NOW. Yes it was formed as a Jewish state. I really feel that most people in the world don't get it. Just leave Israel alone ....don't try to push it into the sea, don't try to shoot rockets into it, don't board school buses and kill kid.
Remember....Never Again...will Jews stand by and get slaughtered like sheep. It ain't ever gonna happen again.
I was in Israel in the early 70s and remember playing soccer with Palestinians in Ramallah we were all friends. Israel had peace with egypt, Jordon was ok with Israel...it all changed because of the PLO.
