I wonder if Mr Jonson would kill an Amalek on sight, as the LORD commanded Christians to do. I wonder if he thinks this is in fact what President Trump and Bibi are actually doing.
(for context: Amalekites are a tribe) Numbers 14:25
the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys
(… that God really fucking did not like) Samuel 15:2-3
This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants
Personally? No way, that weasels sack of shit couldn’t do his own dirty work, but I’m sure he delights in seeing anyone who isn’t white and Christian die. Women and children are no obstacle for this filth.
I think that’s a great quote and the man had numerous scientific accomplishments, but as a supporter of Israel he also said (of Britain’s Israeli boycott):
“Given the history of the attacks on Israel and the oppressiveness and aggressiveness of other countries in the Middle East and elsewhere, boycotting Israel indicated a moral blindness for which it is hard to find any explanation other than antisemitism.”
I think the quote is overrated, honestly. There are a lot of times that a “good” person may do “evil” without religion.
Probably the most famous example comes from the Milgram experiment. All that’s required is an authority figure to tell people to do evil and they’ll do it.
And if you study behavioral economics, you’ll find out that a lot of people tend to cheat and steal just a little bit.
Another time is when there is a conflict of interests. I forget the exact quote, but it is said that it will be impossible to get a person to understand something when their pay requires them not to understand it.
You never know until you test it, but my hypothesis would be that the religious people, having spent their entire lives abdicating their moral decision-making to ministers and stone age religious texts, would have different results from people who have had experience thinking about their actions and creating moral convictions on their own.

I’d love to see a repeat of the Millgram experiment, but with religious people in one group and non-religious people in the other.
I wonder which more readily abdicate their moral decision-making

hes trumps mouthpiece.
wanna bet he doesnt know what amalek is.
Isn’t that the stone head in Legends of the Hidden Temple?
I mean yeah, these types of verses are 100% used to understand and condone the slaughter of Palestinians.
