    The Palestinians would have a differing opinion of the Jews. The Quakers would happily end democracy if they had the numbers. Fortunately they also happen to be pacifists. The Unitarians are also in the place of not having been a majority. Again, given the option, they would institute a rigid hierarchy in place of a democratic government. It’s build into their world view of having a daddy figure that rules all.

      No argument from me. Only defense is I was speaking loosely and about this moment in the US. Def not about Israel the state.

      To me religion is a weird crutch, like an illness. Religions in practice can be (to non participants) benign to toxic. Internally, no comment, no experience except creepy catholicism in my long ago youth.
