Last Saturday night Rabbi Ovadia Yosef stated the following in his weekly televised "sermon" in Israel:
"Is it any wonder if, heaven forbid, soldiers are killed in a war?" he said, "when they don't observe the Sabbath, they don't observe the Torah, they don't pray every day, they don't put on phylacteries every day. Is it any wonder that they're killed? It's no wonder......God helps soldiers who have faith and who pray. They are not killed."
This comment is beyond idiocy, and I think 99% of the total population of Jews on this planet believe Yosef to be a stark raving lunatic. His comments have caused outrage in Israel, but it isn't the first time this prehistoric imbecile has disgraced himself with his words and views. In 2000 he stated the following:
"the 6 million Holocaust victims were reincarnations of the souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done. They had been reincarnated in order to atone."
In a world void of evidence of any God, the statements are farcical and insensitive. Even if one assumed God existed, who in their right mind would want to worship his God? Why does such a spectacular God need to be worshiped so heavily? Yosef's God is as spiteful as he is insecure.
This idiot Rabbi is a disgrace to thinking Jews everywhere, and of course humankind.
