Hot take

Those people who say they’re against “bootlickers,” where “bootlicker” is anyone who shows the slightest sign of disagreement with them? They’re not actually against authority. They’re just mad they, personally, aren’t the authority.

And I’m blocked now. Not surprising, I suppose.

Honestly, I don’t have nearly as much against Judaism as I do against some other religions. A lot of the things Jewish writers say seem to me like good things, or at least unobjectionable. I just don’t like the two-step between “it’s a religion” and “if you criticize it, you’re racist.” I could not care less who your mother was. It’s philosophy I argue about, not anything to do with “blood,” and I hate to see someone dodge out of the way so their philosophy can’t be criticized.

(There’s this one Jewish blogger I read sometimes who refers to Jesus as “Oily Josh” and openly hates him. I think every creed should be vulnerable to that level of criticism, and if you hate my saying that, I applaud you.)
