My opinion has not a damn thing to do with politics and EVERYTHING to do with how lame religion is.

As a matter of fact, i'll revise my earlier statement: Christianity should go away first followed by Islam. Judaism is harmless for the most part. I only wanna kill it off so that it never gives birth to another religion again.

So ONE guy says he's the Messiah, a bunch of people follow him, and it's OUR fault?

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians." - Gandhi

Religion itself isn't bad, it's the people who have mutilated what religions (and their texts) originally represented. That's probably why you don't dislike us Jewish people as much, because we generally follow what our book represents - and don't use it to spread hate, or take selected passages as literal while ignoring others. I'm not a particularly religious person, but would also never abandon or convert from Judaism for these reasons.

Actually, it means quite the opposite... but thanks for proving my point above, about how some people mutilate the Bible to spread their hate.

I hope atheism will die first before Islam... At least Muslims believe in God and Jesus as prophet.

Stalin did it in the name of atheism. Communism = atheism.

One guy? Very disrespectful and ignorant. Jesus was and is the Messiah, and he was sent by God. Early Christians were jews

I suspect that Jews will become atheist and agnostic a lot faster than they become Christian, and Christianity itself will gradually wane as it encounters more sophisticated religions and philosophies on the internet and in education.

There are quite a few "cultural" Jews I've met who don't believe in the religion, but enjoy practicing the traditional Hebrew, Sepphardic or Yiddish customs as an ethnic thing.

Irony = You calling somebody else's comments ignorant and disrespectful.

Yup, and I would definitely fall under that (latter) category. I'm not very religious per say, but do practice the faith culturally... did the whole Sunday School, Hebrew School, confirmation, Aliyah, Bat-Mitzvah, etc, and still observe the major holidays and attend services occasionally.

Despite my doubts, if you ask me, I identify as Jewish - and if I had kids, I would most likely raise them Jewish too. So we're not dying off, just adapting and changing with the times!
