Jewish Stereotypes In Class Touch On a Larger Issue

The Jews, throughout history, have continuously been the most oppressed ethnic group of any in existence. Why is this? It would appear to me that many are very ungrateful. Both Christians and Muslims owe their very existence to the Jews. Judaism can trace it roots back almost 2500 years, far longer than Christianity or Judaism. Basically, Christianity came about because a bunch of Jews got together and though to themselves, "I know how we can make this better! That Jesus guy had a lot on the ball!" Thus, the New Testament was born. Then, a bunch of got together and thought to themselves, "Whoa, this religion we've come up with is really bloody and judgmental. Lets allow for divorce and promote peace and general prosperity." Thus, Islam was born. The notion that one of these religions is inferior to another is both ignorant and wrong. Personally, the very notion of religion frustrates me. The idea of an unseen, unknown entity that tells you how to live despite little evidence of its existence, and confronted with nearly incontrovertible evidence of a scientific origin, seems entirely idiotic. Faith? Faith in what?! The holocaust, the crusades, the West Bank....all should be a reason to denounce modern organized religion. John Lennon said it best. "Imagine there's no heaven, no hell below us." His immortal words are forever etched in a song that advocates love for one another and a universal giving up of tyrannical organized religion. How about the Mormons? These people believe that Jesus lived in America and that Native Americans are just Israelites punished by God. They denounce people for having premarital sex, drinking coffee, eating fast food. These puritanical people need to get with it. Man is too smart a creature to be sucked in to false notions and bloodthirsty ideologies.
