Of course you would.

Of course you would.

And, I love all those Christians eschewing science while opting for
God as designer of the universe.

And then there's Christians for Concealed Carry. CCC (the soft KKK).
Under their vestments, they're fully strapped.

Good! I'm glad to see that you actually do love somebody. But... do
that love you?

Really? I wouldn't know. I don't peek

Wow, such self-interpreted theology!

How do you interpret theology? By accepting 'authorities'? How then do
you decide which authorities to accept if not by your own judgement?

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.

While you are looking at the clouds, watch for that missile heading for
Washington DC.

Contemporary Jewish society and population in Israel predates 1948.


Most of the Jewish residents of Israel have European or American
heritage and immigrated there since 1948. A large number are actually
first or second generation there.


Yeah, most of the adult Israelis who were there prior to 1948 are dead.
Good call but not relevant to Jews in large numbers being in Israel
prior to 1948, and relevant to the fact that after the State of Israel
was declared, its Arab neighbor countries attacked.

When Germans invaded Russia the Russians attacked too. So what.

When they declared "the State of Israel" it was to the exc;lusion of
the resident muslim population and they have been treating them as a
disenfranchised race since then. It is not that much different than
what South Africa was like during apartheid.

The fact is, if you look about 95% of the current Jewish population of
Israel, their grandparents were NOT living in Palestine in 1945.



The resident Muslim population was offered full citizenship and
partnership.

Water vapor and criss crossed by he chemicals the government is
spraying from high altitude planes huh? ;-)


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.
