It’s like the way you can look at clouds, and some people see
something that looks like a puppy, and other people see a God figure
staring down and hating them for that one time what they did in that
room with the neighbor, and they think the cloud is following them and
then they are afraid to look in mirrors because that is the secret way
that the cloud can spy on them that no one else can see, which is
clearly why they had no choice but to try to hurt the neighbor’s dog.

Some to to God as something to be mocked as well as his followers.

Then there's those who look at God as a loving father.

Nah, I'm not a conspiracy-belivin' Tea Bagger or Loonytarian. Tell you
what, though, decades ago, when I was the AP Correspondent in West
Virginia, I had to commute regularly between Charleston and Huntington,
and there was a bitty town just a few miles outside of Charleston where
the pollutants in the air from nearby chemical plants were so thick they
were cloudlike and you had to assume whatever they were eating your
lungs and the paint on your car. Smelled terrible. If you drove through
in the daytime, the clouds were yellowish...sulphur, maybe. Just awful.

Tell that to the people on the West Bank.


Most of the people on the West Bank weren't alive in 1947-48 when full
citizenship and participation were offered. In fact, most of the people
on the West Bank back then were in Israel itself before they decided to
leave and then make war on Israel. The Jordanians sure as hell didn't
want them. So, what have the so-called Palestinians done since 1948 to
turn the lands they took over into self-sustaining areas?

Nothing. Many of them are still living like refugees, hopeful that one
day they will push the Jews into the Mediterranean. And did their Arab
/Muslim brothers from oil-rich Araby step up to help their Palestinian
brothers build a state?

No.

Leave or be run out? and they would say they never had the opportunity
to develop their land, in fact any time it got a little nicer, they
would be "settled" by Israelis.

They are refugees, living under the boot of their Israeli occupiers.

Build a state where?

The best parallel I can think of to the Palestinians is the American
Indian ... except this happened in the last half of 20th century, not
the 19th century. This is the final European colonial expansion, right
at the time when Europe was giving up it's colonies.

Under the boot? In Israel? Hardly. There are problems with the
occupied territories... they should stop that activity, but the
Iraelies have tried many many times to make peace..

As to citizenship, see the wiki.

According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, the Arab
population in 2010 was estimated at 1,573,000, representing 20.4% of
the country's population. The majority of these identify themselves as
Arab or Palestinian by nationality and Israeli by citizenship.

How could you possibly know whether we are all "looking at the same
entity" and why a "he"?
And how do you live your life in "respect to your God"? Do you mean
follow the teachings?" One of the professed christians in this newsgroup
just suggested dropping someone out of a helicopter. Do you think he is
living his life in respect to his god?

From what I have observed here, the god entity is no more than a
convenient crutch.

Respecting the beliefs of others doesn't require spirituality as much as common courtesy, unless the
belief impinges on one's life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness.

The mockery in this group is totally uncalled for. However, I suppose it's the liberal's idea of
'righteousness'.

There is no good reason whatsoever to respect any and all crazy
delusional beliefs.

It is the individual that holds those beliefs and their right to hold
them that deserve respect regardless of agreement. I don't understand

create a justification to denigrate others.
