Yeah, true, but these particular Zionists have based their religious beliefs on the supposed infallibility of one old dude in Rome. It's one thing to do tons of mental gymnastics to avoid seeing brown people as human beings, but it's another to disagree with dude X when your whole religion is built on unconditionally agreeing with and obeying dude X.

My point is that "mental gymnastics" is a standard way of thinking of most religious people.

Having grown up in a Catholic country (but not being a believer myself), I have yet to find a Catholic who doesn't daily do some mental gymnastics to balance the contradictions between the way they live life and the teachings of the religion they trull believe they follow.

Merely once in a while when the Pope says something about it, coming up with some way to mentally handle the contradiction between what the Pope says and their own personal glee in an extremely Racist Genocide, is nothing compared with, say, their daily breaking of several of the Ten Commandments (generally Greed, Envy and Glutony) and going against the teachings of Christ.

Most religious people are hypocrites, and they do it by not thinking hard about it (those who do, generally stop being religious, IMHO)
