Well there is the problem Joey? Did you see what you did there? You managed to used negatives and pejoratives to describe the other guys religions but not Joe Lieberman's.
You described the anti-semites. You didn't describe bigots that for various reasons hate and despise and ridicule the Catholics, the Protestants or the Mormons. You cannot see that.
Everyone thinks their own brand is sweet and the other guy's brand stinks
The same stinks that annoy you about the other guys religions are also characteristics of or derived from or predated by Lieberman's.
Anti abortion - from "thou shalt not kill" the pope is just trying to enforce the law.
Phony stories made up by a con man who was in trouble with the authorities - Moses
Economic gain - The Khazars converted Judaism so they could trade with both Christians and Moslems. That was the choice which allowed them to trade with both sides, otherwise, trade would have suffered.

About now I am sure that you will get me wrong. Christianity is a Jewish sect - it is heretical and anathema, but that is what it is. Mohammed wanted to be a Jewish Prophet after God started talking to him, but no one taught him how to read and write Hebrew so they threw him out of the temple - Islam is just another unwelcome heretical Jewish sect which includes everybody as a result of that snub. But you will think that they are in no way Jews, but really how much in common with early Judaism are any of the official current variants of Judaism. I think the modern form of the religion has just as much in common with the older form of the religion as do Christianity and Islam.
Three branches of the same tree wishing that the other two would just go away or give up join them.
All three religions have got people willing to kill over this nonsense.
That says a lot about religion.
Aside from the Golden Rule, it is just mind control. Can I get people to believe a lie and get them to do stupid things for me?
You betcha!
