Shipping out
I have made what seem like a lot of controversial remarks here on Jews ad Christians. Perhaps, but I don’t think so. It is important to study the larger history of Jews and Christians in the context of the Axial Age and then of the so-called eonic sequence. Jews and Christians have suffered their miserable history, and now the time has come to move on beyond Jews and Christians. There is no other option in the context of globalization. The basic thrust of Judaism and Christianity is a demonic degeneration on both sides, so if you linger too long you will be eaten alive. Jews should assimilate FAST and Christians need to move beyond their strange Christian yoke. It has served its purpose. That says nothing about theism/atheism, useless questions at this point.
Let me say something conroversial on both sides: Jews wrecked monotheism with their primitive and stupid covenental belief in their chosenness. Christians wrecked the already wrecked result by creating a kettle of fish that is neither religion, sacred or a monotheism. I think the phase of mutual recriminations should be cancelled and both parties should reunite and move on. Jews can celebrate their Nobel prizes, and schlemielhood, and become ex-jews, like Marx, and Christians can rejoice in a mission accomplished as they make off with their herds of Jewish breeding stock, which is good for the economy. That the Axial Israel was not about ‘god’ but IHVH, and that the god-religion for juveniles was a huge mistake can be filed away as past history as both parties move into a new future as New Men, long prophesied.
Meanwhile, the history of monotheism, Jewish, and Christian, was the history of a mistake, so best not to look back, like Eurydice who perished as a result.
Conclusion: there are no Jews and Christians.
Some are going to argue to the bitter end, for a few more centuries of murder, but then after that, the choice will arise again, move on, ship out.

You may be right: it is unrealistic to hope for anything intelligent here. The whole game of Jews and Christians will go on for centuries, and if we compute the same issue in the wake of the Axial Age, the new era was almost halfway through before the archaic religions of the previous age slipped away.
The problem is that Judeo-Christianity is a mess, a trainwreck stretching over two millennia.
Everyone should be very very sure they want another five centuries of that madness.
