KJ, please stop and think about what you just posted.Originally Posted by kewlJ
Seems to me you want to "have it all," i.e. believe in that which can be proven (hello, scientific method) as well as that which cannot be proven (and only hoped for).
Sorry, Charlie: a hard core scientist would tell you that if something cannot be proven it should not be believed to be true.
By your logic it is fine to believe in bigfoot, fairies, cyclops, and centaurs because they have "not been disproven."
Can you see how lousy and infirm that thought process is?
You have faith, which is belief without reason.
Very dangerous.

Why atheists are not as rational as some like to think.

Joseph Stalin's thoughts exactly. An atheist that killed 20 million of his own people. Sure, religion has been used as a pretext to kill but if it weren't available another pretext would be used....and it would be used much more than religion. Constantine converted the Roman Empire to Christianity because of it's belief in loving and forgiving enemies. He saw the old Roman Gods as to warlike which made the people to warlike. He was right. It didn't stamp out wars but did a good job of keeping them down compared to how it was before that.
But make no mistake. If the entire world went atheist it would not eliminate wars. It would more than likely exacerabate more wars.

"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
I agree mickeycrimm.
Most wars aren't really over Religious Beliefs.
They are over Resources.
The powers that be use the Religious Belief Systems to garner loyalty from the soldiers.
They are more willing to die for their personal God rather than die for salt or oil.
I find it funny when most people who don't believe in God will state that they believe in Aliens, Bigfoot, Shapeshifters and other like things.
There is No God but ET exists???
The Jews came to the US with nothing and became the most successful segment of the population within about 50 years.
So yes, people are jealous of the Jews.
Regarding Half Smoke's nonsense, you need to take off the blinders and realize what the Democratic Party has become. Censorship. Cancel culture. Attempts to punish anyone who thinks differently than they do.
As a Jew, I notice that the left worships open anti-Semites like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, whereas Trump was the most pro-Israel President ever. So I think I'm in the right political party if I care what happens to the Jews.
Thanks for your concern.

Didn't Trump try to have killed, by inciting a riot, the 1st and 2nd in line to the Presidency? Doesn't Nancy Pelosi have quite strong ties to the Jewish community?
Somehow, I can't image the likes of Crimm running a lawn mower, let alone a country.

"Envy?"Originally Posted by quahaug
Hardly: as a student of history I understand their history of success and oppression.
My focus was on the unfairness of the Jews taking over the Holy Land / Israel and basically telling its occupiers, the Arabs, to fuck off.
What the hell were the Allied Powers thinking when this came about?
Why give the Jews Israel, and really, what gave them the right to give it to them and what gave the Jews the right to control it?
That question of course was rhetorical: naked power allowed it.
Seems to me that the idea was to somehow make partial amends for all of the deaths and loss caused by the Nazis in the holocaust.
Fine, great idea: but instead of giving the Jews the Holy Land why not do something that actually makes sense, such as giving the Jews a big chunk of Germany?
Isn't that how reparations work?
Hell, it was the Germans who slaughtered millions of Jews under Hitler, not the Palestinians.
I've no viable argument with individuals who have religious beliefs, although I deem them deluded / mind-fucked; my concern is with countries or empires that have waged war / conquered others and taken their land and belongings in the name of religion.
FWIW I feel the same way toward Christians and Muslims as I do toward the Jews.
We can do better than this.

Nothing in my quoted post states or implies I hate the Jews.
I don't hate them, I just think they never should have had Israel given to them after WWII as a sop from the British.
What I hate is the number of wars that have been fought in the name of religion based on intolerance for different beliefs.
Really what a silly thing to argue about: "My invisible protector is better than your invisible protector."
Bah.

Fuck the Jews, and fuck all who politicize religion.
Fuck the pope, fuck 'em all.
Lotta love there. Not.
Take off that stupid mask you big baby.
I find it weird that 4 of the top anonymous, self-proclaimed, alleged top money AP makers on this gambling forum don't believe in any god. MisterProfessorV's opinion on this subject is meaningless since no one knows for sure if it's a drug induced reaction. Including all his responses.
Do you only fuck people you hate?
Do you hate your wife / girlfriend but fuck her anyway?
The word "fuck" has many shades of meaning and is context dependent.
When I say "fuck" something or someone it doesn't necessarily mean that I hate them; it means I strongly disapprove of their actions and believe they were wrong.
Religion should NEVER, EVER be politicized: fuck that shit.

Druff - you refer to the left - some of whom are pushing for Israel to stop the settlements and be more conciliatory to their Middle East neighbors who they consider enemies
that's a whole different ball of wax than hating Jews - there are even large numbers of Jews who want Israel to have more conciliatory relations with their neighbors
but the Supremes - they hate Jews - AND I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT - but refuse to acknowledge it because it doesn't fit in with your political agenda
believe this:
if the Supremes get a strong new leader there is a greater than 0% chance they will try to mess with you
lots of Supremes in Nevada and the surrounding areas
I'm telling you this because I want you to prepare for your own personal security
even if you are a horribly misguided, misinformed and confused person
