    I agree whole heartedly. Different cultures create their own gods, and have every right to be left alone. I’m still pissed off about those goddam abrahamic religions and what they did to Nordic Heathenry.

          Have you ever met a Jew knocking on your door asking you about the good word of Jesus at 9am on a fucking Saturday?

          Didn’t think so.

            There are conservative sects of Judaism that recruit, mostly from other Jewish groups. So, yes. In NYC they will annoyingly bother you on the street with “Hey, are you Jewish?” Even if you are, say “no”.

              Annoying for sure but I still see that as significantly different from what OP was describing

                Neither Jews, Christians nor Muslims are a monolith. While the majority of these groups are fine(or at least the visible parts that are willing to coexist, selection bias!), the poorly behaved ones all have the same characteristics. These parts are always the most conservative, fundamentalists ones.

                  You might as well add any organized religion or sufficiently large group at that point. Statements such as yours do little except enable the erasure of Jewish identity, good job you’re doing the Christians work for them.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Mexico’s environmental protection agency said late Thursday that the statue, which appears to show an angry trident-wielding Poseidon “rising” from the sea a few meters from the beach, lacked permits.

    But this one appears to be all about present-day humanity, combining “cancel culture,” social media storms, lawsuits and the one truly fearsome, overpowering force in today’s world: Instagram selfie-fueled tourism.

    “Poseidon is a Greek god who is alien to our Maya culture,” according to the legal complaint filed recently against the statue.

    Carlos Morales, whose Indigenous Strategic Litigation group brought the complaint, says he wants the Poseidon statue removed.

    “I want Poseidon removed from the beach at Progreso because it is foreign to the Maya culture, and because it did not meet the requirements” of getting an environmental permits, he said.

    Defenders of the statue — which strikingly shows Poseidon’s body rising mightily from a relatively, calm, open stretch of water near the beach — also have their arguments, though they might not hold up as well in court: it’s pretty, and it’s good for business.
