You don't need to choose a side.
THIS.
Agnostic 40,000 ft. view: IMO both sides are equally repellent and hysterical, self-centered narcissists killing each other because each side's version of 'muh religion' holds the other side as inferior infidels against the 'REAL holy book' (and the teachings of their insane clerics). Believers may abuse and/or kill their counterparts at will, and rejoice in the imagined righteousness of so doing.
For me it's "Sorry Jews, you ain't 'God's chosen people' any more than anyone else, so fuck off, assholes"
and "Sorry Islamics, we ain't regarding your stupid 'holy book' as the law of the land, so fuck off, assholes"
Let's be fair—Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, Confucians, Hindus, etc., aren't being assholes about it, trying to FORCE or SHAME everyone to feel sorry for them or to worship their holy book under pain of death.
just my $.02
