Religion is the opium of the people, even Jewish religion. No help during the
holocaust.
However doesn't mean I am taking a stand for or against god.

Subject: [sparkscoffee] Top Rabbis Await The Messiah’s Imminent Arrival
Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch,Vice-President of the Rabbinical Court and the Head of
the Edah HaChareidis in Jerusalem, paid a rare visit to Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky
at his home in Bnei Barak. They are two of the most prominent Torah figures
alive today. Conversations between such great men have enormous significance
and the Hebrew-language website Kikar Shabbat recorded the dialogue between
these two great rabbis.

Rabbi Kanievsky said that troubles were to be expected. “It is the days before
Messiah,” he explained.
Rabbi Sternbuch agreed. “In the End of Days, those who fear God will despair
and their hands will loosen from fighting God’s war against the sinners, and
there will be no one to rely upon except God,” he said, adding, “We have to
bring the Messiah.”
Rabbi Kanievsky answered that the Messiah should be arriving in the very near
future. He quoted the Talmud (Megillah 17b) again, saying, “In the year after
shmittah the Son of David will come.”
(We are in the year after the Shemitah which ends in October. At least we won't
have to wait very long to find out if it's true or not. -RR)
