Today on the Truth Perspective we continue our look at the work of Shiraz Maher on Salafi-Jihadism, the ideology behind groups like ISIS and al-Nusra, and introduce the work of Israel Shahak, author of Jewish History, Jewish Religion, on how the modern state of Israel has been shaped by the ideology of classical Judaism. While diametrically opposed in some ways, the two religious ideologies share much in common, specifically a peculiar view of human nature and a doctrinaire, legalistic mode of reasoning and enforcement of religious rules.

All religions are fill of crap including modern day new age and spiritual ones.
None of them have proof... They depend on the faith of someone who claims to have seen X or Y.
If higher realms were really true, it wouldn't need to be funneled through some one else like a prophet or some channeler.

Considering that it was Judaism that spawned both Christianity and Islam, it's no surprise the trail leads back to the original.
At the end of Chapter 7 it states, "Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have souight out many inventions." Of course, the inventions of the Salafis and the Orthodox Jews is that they have the truth. The Ten Commandments say "thou shall not kill." and "Thou shall not steal." Not that it is okay to do it because you are a Jew or a Salafi.
The Reason Solomon could find no woman is because the women cannot be women unless the men are men and the men can only be men when they have God's guidance.
Nobody knows what life is all about. We all pretend to know mostly by means of referrencing something way in the past or in the sky that nobody can ever verify. Life is a joke at best.
