New piece on A Jewish Voice: Western commentary on Israel-Palestine keeps getting it wrong — not for lack of moral seriousness, but because it applies rational-actor frameworks to actors operating in an eschatological register.

I write about what religious extremism actually feels like from the inside, Scott Atran's Devoted Actor research, and how this conflict is being theologized from both sides.

@statsguy By rights, the #uk should make noise about how the US administration, which claims to be "Christian", wholeheartedly believes they are initiating this war to bring about biblical Armageddon.

Is in lockstep with Israel which orchestrated #iran war and genocide in Gaza in order to bring about Greater Israel, coming of their Messiah, aim to build the 3rd temple, usher in End Times.

This is #religiousextremism to the point of insanity by US-Israel.

How many Brits are apocalypticists? 0?

“This is the most egregious example of a church-state violation in the military,” Weinstein said. “That Jerusalem cross and that graphic, it sticks out to the same extent that a tarantula does on a wedding cake and it sends the exact wrong message. It sends an encyclopedia of wrong messages on every possible level, because what it stands for is Christian nationalism.” #military #MRFF #ChristianNationalism #DOD #ReligiousExtremism # https://taskandpurpose.com/culture/marine-jerusalem-cross-patch-photo/

“If your god loves the way you hate, then expect the same love back. A god shaped by hate is no god — only a mirror of extremism.”

Faith must empower, not enslave. Leadership must serve, not dominate.

This is just a handful of problems and injustices that a person may face for leaving Islam. This all especially true if they live in a muslim majority country. However, those that don’t still face the risk of becoming victims of violent crimes, reviving threats, etc. These realities are all painful and heart breaking and no one should have to go through them. Unfortunately, this is the reality for millions of people world wide.

Due to the intense islamophobia that has been happening recently, I would also like to acknowledge that not all ex-muslims have a hard time leaving Islam. This is however, a reality that some do face.

Diplomacy and the pursuit of peace have been abandoned. The military industrial complex is on steroids fueled by political corruption and racist ignorance and religious extremism. Active genocide is occurring in plain sight. The apocalypse is impending.
