No, I don't. I discuss religions, and I do point out from time to

to be proclaimers only.

Do you realize how arrogant and just plain stupid you sound when you

It's not the "beliefs" I mock, it's the self-proclaimed believers.

Harry, could you give an example of 'self-proclaimed believers'? You keep
using the term, and I've asked for examples, but you've not been able to
provide any. I even offered a suggestion or two.

Doesn't everyone have to be a self-proclaimed believer of their
respective faith? Bar mitzvahs, Catholic confirmation, protestant
baptism. Part of Catholic Mass is the Profession of Faith. You recite it
willingly. If you don't want to don't go to Mass.

Your problem is that you are judgmental of others in religious and
non-religious areas of their lives. You have a rigid view of the world
and if someone does fall into to your rigid framework of behavior then
your berate and ridicule them. We are curious why you do this and what
event in your life caused you behave like this?

It's really easy, John. Anyone who professes to be a "Christian," but
doesn't follow their saviour's teachings in most of the important ways
is worth mocking.

I'm sure you recognize this:

Lk. 6.27-36
38 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth: Ex. 21.24 · Lev. 24.20 · Deut. 19.21
39 but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let
him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee
turn not thou away.
43 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor, Lev. 19.18 and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you;
45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for
he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain
on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even
the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do
not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect. Deut. 18.13

Harry's definition of an Observant Jew is based upon his limited
knowledge of a few Orthodox Jews he knew as a child. He believes their
interpretation of the Torah is the only interpretation used by
practicing Jews.

At no time did i think my little jokes about Christmas carols and
Chinese food would be a basis for trying to defend those who do not
follow the same practices as "Harry's Jews".

There are Orthodox Jews who actually have to tear and prefold toilet
paper before Sabbath just so they work on the Sabbath. They don't turn
on or off a light on the Sabbath, they don't answer the phone. Is this
the majority of practicing Jews, NO.

Even in Israel, 80% of the Jews will drive on Sabbath. Harry's knowledge
of Judaism and definition of a Observant Jew is just another way to mock
someone's beliefs.

According to Harry one would have to follow all 613 Mitzvot or they
could not be considered an Observant Jew. One of the Mitzvot says one
must not charge an Israeli interest on a loan, one says do not demand
repayment of a loan from someone who is poor, and every 7 years one must
forgive all debts, one must allow all fields to remain fallow and one
should not harvest from trees or vines on that year. Based upon all 613
Mitzvot there probably are no Observant Jews left in the world.

Harry knowledge of religion is used to ridicule others, nothing more,
nothing less.

D. No, I am *not" discussing my personal religious beliefs here. I
do happen to know Observant Jews, they are friends of mind, and
you obviously don't know Observant Jews from a hole in the ground.

No, you don't discuss your personal religious beliefs here.

You discuss everyone else's.

No, I don't. I discuss religions, and I do point out from time to
time that many of those who proclaim their religion the loudest seem
to be proclaimers only.
Do you realize how arrogant and just plain stupid you sound when you
make statements like this.

Actions speak louder than words. Most of those here who proclaim their
religious beliefs the loudest talk the talk but their behavior here
indicates they don't walk the walk.
You have often professed an interest in the teachings of Buddha and may
possibly be a follower of the Dali Lama. You actions of constantly
mocking and judging other beliefs is contrary to Buddhism and the
teachings of the Dali Lama.


I'm also interested in the teachings of Jesus and many of the Biblical
prophets, and I certainly am a fan of the Dalai Lama.

It's not the "beliefs" I mock, it's the self-proclaimed believers.

Harry, could you give an example of 'self-proclaimed believers'? You keep
using the term, and I've asked for examples, but you've not been able to
provide any. I even offered a suggestion or two.

Does your religious faith encourage the 'mocking' of others? My father's
second wife was Jewish, but I've never known her to mock anyone.

Harry's definition of an Observant Jew is based upon his limited
knowledge of a few Orthodox Jews he knew as a child. He believes their
interpretation of the Torah is the only interpretation used by
practicing Jews.

At no time did i think my little jokes about Christmas carols and
Chinese food would be a basis for trying to defend those who do not
follow the same practices as "Harry's Jews".

There are Orthodox Jews who actually have to tear and prefold toilet
paper before Sabbath just so they work on the Sabbath. They don't turn
on or off a light on the Sabbath, they don't answer the phone. Is this
the majority of practicing Jews, NO.

Even in Israel, 80% of the Jews will drive on Sabbath. Harry's knowledge
of Judaism and definition of a Observant Jew is just another way to mock
someone's beliefs.

According to Harry one would have to follow all 613 Mitzvot or they
could not be considered an Observant Jew. One of the Mitzvot says one
must not charge an Israeli interest on a loan, one says do not demand
repayment of a loan from someone who is poor, and every 7 years one must
forgive all debts, one must allow all fields to remain fallow and one
should not harvest from trees or vines on that year. Based upon all 613
Mitzvot there probably are no Observant Jews left in the world.

Harry knowledge of religion is used to ridicule others, nothing more,
nothing less.

Harry does ridicule others.

I think that's part of his complaint to Tim the other day that he wasn't
being treated nicely. I really believe that he would be treated much more
nicely if he stopped his ridicule, name-calling, insulting, and cross
posting.

But, that's just my opinion.

I wish I had an $850 desk chair.
