Oh, I'm sorry. I don't read your posts closely or carefully enough to
know when you are trying to be cute and clever over a typo. Say, it's
Sunday...isn't it the day you go in for your weekly reprogramming of
mythology?


Your people do this on Saturday don't they?


No, Greg, my fellow agnostics don't have a weekly day of mythology
reprogramming.

You seem to default towards the Jewish persuasion when you are not
being agnostic. It certainly seems to guide your middle east policy
opinion

Yes, I do support Israel. Is that what you mean? I suspect more
Americans support Israel than any of the other countries in that part of
the world, because it is a democracy and modern. Most of the rest of the
countries there are like a Trump wet dream, with ignorant supporters.

You know, I've never found Tim to be as you described. Harry's claim, either way, is irrelevant.

Lastly, as you are in here with your usual agitation, do you call yourself a 'pseudo Christian' ?


Tim would be a glaring exception...why would you even bring him up when you have so many turds to call on?

Harry's comment was directed towards Tim, so Harry is obviously not targetting 'pseudo Christians'
as you propose. Again, as you are in here, on a Sunday, with your usual agitation, do you classify
yourself as a 'pseudo Christian'?

Sometimes I wonder. Religion implies things about the real world that
are just not true.

For sure Donnie won't disagree with you.

So that makes you a Zionist? Americans support Israel because they are
educated to but a thinking American understands that their occupation
of the West bank was the biggest source of terror recruiting, before
we started bombing civilians ourselves.
Now the entire Arab world equates us with that occupation.

You still have not explained how Eastern Europeans who have no
ancestral link to the area at all could lay a claim to Palestine, nor
the "law of return" without using that religion you say you do not
believe in.
It is all simply based on being a Jew and believing that thing you
call a fairy tale that we call the old testament of the bible.

Well, since the Jewish people already are occupying that piece of land,
it would be difficult to be a Zionist in the original sense and meaning
of the term, eh?

We've been over the rest of your post at least a dozen times. There's no
reason to do it again. As for the law of return, it is as legitimate as
any law in this country.

You keep dodging the question. If the only connection between Eastern
Europeans and Palestine is the imaginary friend they worship, how does
that give them the right to invade and occupy that country?
The Russians have far more logic in their argument that they have a
right to Ukraine and particularly Crimea. The same is true of Saddam
and Kuwait but we chose to oppose the former and go to war over the
latter. (a war we still have not extricated ourselves from 25 years
later)
