OK... in order. Definitely not self-hating - rather the opposite. By avoiding all religion throughout my life, I actually like myself more than if i slavishly followed the nonsense that they all promote. Remember - "All religion is a foolish answer to a foolish question" I'm promoting nothing - that was why I said "This dislike is not a political statement, nor meant to incite anyone else's actions, it's how I personally feel about people I have met - truly "IMO" " As I've met people, and got to know them, I as do most of us, form opinions, rightly or wrongly of said people. My point is that some you like and some you don't and with 2 exceptions, I have discovered that those who turned out to be Jews, I just have not liked. The 2 exceptions became friends and hold similar views to me based purely on their personal experiences. Not sure what you mean by monolith in this context, but I think my comments above should explain why my feelings are truly based on my personal experiences.
