      For a community that claims to hate religion, atheists sure do carry a lot of water for Judaism, and Islam to a lesser extent.

      Seems that Christianity is the only acceptable religion to bash.

        That’s a problem felt throughout society because of the reaction we were taught to give in relation to Islam and Judaism and because of a power dynamic.

        You’re a Nazi antisemitic dickhole if you criticize Judaism in the US and you’re a xenophobic islamaphobe if you criticize Islam in the US, but because Christianity has enjoyed the position of power it has in the US it’s ok to “punch up” as it were.

        I hate them all equally, but just hope people separate the people practicing the religion from the religion itself. I hate organized religion, not religious people of any religion.

          I’d quibble with you here that there actually are an alarming number of antisemitic nazis and xenophobic islamophobes in the US, primarily among Christians. Criticisms of all heinous religious practices will quickly devolve into bigots chiming in to complain about their personal ignorance. There is so much overlap between various religious beliefs and practices that practically any criticism of faith is valid against just about all religions. So most of the time, if you are singling out one particular sect or ethnicity, it’s because of prejudice against those people.

          Targeting Christianity ensures that you’re not singling out one particular ethnicity or nationality, and it’s far less likely to attract bigoted sympathies.

      No it’s the bit about the blood being sucked from the wound by the Moil that the meme references by replacing a straw with a hot dog. That’s the antisemitic part as that isn’t common yet is directly referenced here.

        Anyone promoting chopping off a piece of a baby’s body and literally sucking the piece off with their mouth should be taking some flak. I mean, think about that idea for a minute. What the fuck?!

        How is that antisemitic? Honest question. What am I missing?

          You’re missing lunacy in your life. Just ignore the troll and report.

          One that doesn’t explicitly mention a specific race would be a good start. It’s not hard to identify racism when it is this obvious. Why are you having problems doing so?
