    Children do not literally worship their nation-state with literal religious reverence.

    Of course not! Performing weird little rituals in regards to it’s symbols and sacrificing themselves and others to it’s (alleged) grandeur cannot possibly be compared with anything religious!

    I mean… at least the older religions offers you the fantasy of an afterlife to cling to, right? That must be enough of a difference, right?

    No rabbi would say that saying that someone “worships money”

    Capitalist bootlickers have always attempted to pretend that religious figures “didn’t mean what they say” when they condemned the wealthy elites… I guess that hasn’t changed at all, huh?

    I’m just saying that your argument that the term is an oxymoron

    I can’t wait for you to actually come up with something that isn’t just bottom-of-the-barrel apologetics - will this be taking you long?

      Let me make sure I understand you: your argument is that any self-consistent Jew cannot make an image of anything that can be compared to religion? So anything grand that people find meaning in that requires sacrifices with weird superstitions and rituals.

      So no flags because of the religion of nationalism, no money because of the religion of money, no On Food And Cooking because of the religion of French cuisine, and no pictures of Rossini because of the religion of opera?

        because of the religion of French cuisine, and no pictures of Rossini because of the religion of opera?

        I’m sure you’re going to provide me with plenty of evidence that lists the millions that laid down their lives or were murdered for French cuisine and/or Italian opera.

        Come now… don’t keep me in suspense.
