I am agnostic American.

I am opposed to those who use faith or Bible stories to oppress others. I do not hate anyone, but some folks make me angry for their manipulations and self-serving.

I do not know what Catholics believe, but I think I am safe in saying that Catholicism has its tenets and unless you adhere to them, you cannot be a Catholic.

"As far claiming land, the facts speak for themselves. Jews have lived in the area for at least as long as the Palestinians. The Jews have a tiny strip of land. The Arabs have huge wasted areas that could be used to solve the problem many times over."

Jews have land in many countries and those who went to Palestine should relocate to those countries that will accept them. It is a moot point that "Arabs" (large diverse group same as "Hispanics") have large wasted areas that can be used to solve the problem many times over. The "Arabs" owe no one anything. It is not the responsibility to accommodate foreigners who seek a homeland. If we were talking about primarily of Palestinian Jews who are seeking a homeland on land they have inhabited for centuries, that would be a different matter. That is not the case. The Jews who lived in Palestine for centuries are not the Jews who came from Europe.

It alludes me how you can label my argument hateful, so if you feel the urge, go ahead and explain that to me.
