light of truth
Offline My heart pains for each and every one of you. You think that love is nothing more than a chemical reaction in the brain, rather than the brain's chemical reaction is a response to what we call love. You harden your hearts, and truely don't understand faith, nor belief. If you would only truely open your hearts up to our Savior Jesus He will open Himself up to you. The hatred in this world has blinded you from what is right and true. Goodbye friends, I hope you see the light of truth someday.
GOD'S NOT DEAD! HE'S SURELY ALIVE! HE'S LIVING ON THE INSIDE, ROARING LIKE A LION!
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

One could suggest some degree of coercion has to used at present but if you deny it, if you have not tried force how do you know?
Don't count on it. Jews still haven't apologized to the Caananites and Philistines and dozens of other ites.
Since the basic rules of human interaction with each other are the same as with all other social species that implies there is an antelope god and a wolf god who taught them morality. Even an ant god. The mind boggles.

Why should they apologize for crimes committed by their ancestors?
For the same reason they demand Germans apologize for Hitler and the Pope for centuries of what they claim was baseless persecution of the innocent. Perhaps the most important reason is for the arrogance of claiming such things are only wrong with done to them and not when they do it to others such as Palestinians today.

Not all Jews make or believe such a claim. I do wish the ones that do would stop, however.
the christians to apologize to me for all their past crimes. The threats, the bigotry, the interminable singing.

Remark above
RE :: You'd be noting Marcion's contention that the O.T. was scandalous :
So good bye to passages like Nehemiah IX which even makes the tiniest reference to a minor portion of the content in the first five books found in the Hebrew sacred scriptures ? Sample Example/reference:
.: Nehemiah 9 “You saw the suffering of our ancestors in the land of Egypt .. for you knew how arrogantly the Egyptians treated them. You made a name for yourself, which remains to this day. 11 You divided the sea before them, so that they passed through it on dry ground. ."
Marcion, who came to Rome in AD 139, embraced such asceticism (hard to fault in part). He stands out because his teachings helped the church formally recognize those books that belong in the New Testament. According to Marcion, Yahweh is a demiurge, an evil god who occupies a lower plane of being than the pure spirit from which all things come. Yahweh created the physical world and is not Jesus’ father. Christ is the son of the loving, pure spirit and source of all, and He rescues us from the capricious Yahweh. Marcion removed all Old Testament references from Luke and ten of Paul’s letters, using this abbreviated canon to promote his aberrant views.Marcion wrote only a single work, Antitheses (Contradictions), in which he set forth his ideas. Some of these information about his teachings is drawn straight from those who were actively trying to debunk his ideas. Later historians called for a distinguishing between the doctrine of Marcion himself and that of his followers. Marcion "'was no Gnostic dreamer. He wanted a Christianity untrammeled and undefiled by association with Judaism. Christianity was the New Covenant pure and simple. Abstract questions on the origin of evil or on the essence of the Godhead interested him little, but the Old Testament was a scandal to the faithful and a stumbling-block to the refined and intellectual gentiles by its crudity and cruelty, and the Old Testament had to be set aside. The two great obstacles in his way he removed by drastic measures. He had to account for the existence of the Old Testament and he accounted for it by postulating a secondary deity, a demiurgus, who was god, in a sense, but not the supreme God; he was just, rigidly just, he had his good qualities, but he was not the good god" .. One of his critics wrote: "Let Marcion's eraser be ashamed of itself: except that it is superfluous for me to discuss the passages he has left out, since my case is stronger if he is shown wrong by those he has retained" [and] "the absolutely good god of Marcion, after so long a time, bestirred himself to destroy. I suppose, however, that by this time he bad ceased to be the absolutely good god; he had now sojourned a considerable while even with the Creator, and was no longer (like) the god of Epicurus purely and simply. For see how he condescends to the curse pre-eminence of both His attributes as the good God and Judge, that, as He had made clemency the preamble of His benediction so He should place severity in the sequel of His curses; thus fully developing His discipline in both directions, both in following out the blessing and in providing against the curse. (source written in the New Advent -- Catholic Encyclopedia).
All you wrote was "Jews". Does that not mean "everyone who is Jewish"? I think you should be more precise in your wording.
I'll go along with that. I want an apology and I want all of these Mega churches that are raking in millions of dollars to open their doors to the I.R.S. and lose all their exemptions.
If all these big churches in my current city can interject all of their political agendas into the city council and the city council celebrates the New Year with a "prayer" breakfast before they start shoving new laws onto the books, then I think the churches ought to have to foot the bill.
Plus, I don't think it is fair that churches get to use the city sheriff's department to hold up traffic on some of the main roads on Sundays and have special stoplights. If they want to go worship, let them wait in the traffic jam they cause like all of the rest of us.
“It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.”
― Giordano Bruno
One does not need to invoke any old timer to see Christian god is entirely different from the jewsh god. The Christian attempts to put lipstick on the Jewish just do not work. They have to invoke faith and hellfire just to get the idea accepted.
However I was referring to the things named, threats, bigotry and the joyful noises. One judges people by what they do when in power not when a fearful minority. Look to self-proclaimed jewish Israel in their own news sources to see what they are really like.
But just sticking with the OT it is as selectively quoted for the good parts as is church history. Theory against practice. Do welcome the stranger into your midst as opposed to the mandated bigotry parts but if they stick around too long circumcise them.

In this case, were I not to point it out to you, you would not note I do not say some English speakers. I am equally certain I can go back over your posts and find dozens of failures to use that qualifier because it is implied by context.

Yea, and when you say "as native English speakers know" I assume you are referring to ALL of them, or at least the vast majority. So, is this assumption correct?
Well, if you'd like to do so, be my guest. I'm sure I could use to be more precise in my wording.
As far as can be told, Torah is a mixture of older faith-based myths and legends. No doubt we should be filled with rage at Sumer and the Hittites. And the Kings and Queens of sedge and bee.
Personally, I think the NT shows the christians were perfectly mental of their own volition and certainly less tolerant than jewish communities historically and with far less cause.
But as pleasurable as discussing my general loathing of monotheism is, it's really the singing I'm most annoyed about, Nony.

Which half the Christian world o’erspread,
Disperse, Thou heavenly Light, and save

Who quite destroy’d Thy Asian fold.
O might the blood of sprinkling cry
For those who spurn the sprinkled blood!
Assert Thy glorious Deity,
Stretch out Thine arm, Thou Triune God
The Unitarian fiend expel,
And chase his doctrine back to hell.

Light of truth eh, here, I give you the light of truth.
Do you know why theists worship the entity they call 'God', why they are so stubbornly, ignorantly, blindly believe in it? There is the explanation for this.
A realm of existence exists since the beings of a particular mental state (the inhabitants) come to existence. Thus different realm is inhabited by different type of being. Once upon a time, long long ago, a being with a particular mental state (for the first time, one with such mental state) came to existence. This being doesn't know the existence of other higher level realms above him. As the first inhabitant, he was alone in that realm, until later other beings (with similar mental state of course) come to existence.
The first citizen, being alone and seeing other beings appear, he thought he created them, he thought he is the ruler, the almighty, the Lord. He started to influence and convince others to honor, pay homage, worship him. From the other beings' perspective (maybe not all), they thought the same way, they thought he is the creator, the ruler, the almighty, the Lord, since he was there before them. They became convinced, became his servants, followers, ministers, etc. They have faith in him.
When the other beings die and the consciousness(mental state) similar to human being's, human is the next form of existence, human baby is born. Somehow these people's subconscious still have the remains of his conviction in his previous Lord. This explains why they are blindly accept the concept of 'God' as their savior, so stubborn and ignorant to the point they could die for it. Theism somehow triggers the subconscious to subtly recall the former belief system, anyway it's the similar conviction.
So, we can say theists believe in deluded god, unaware of it.

You are not listening. As stated it is both a correct and common form of English sentence. The precision use of it you mention below is neither found nor expected in everyday usage.
Precision is not a necessary component of any language in every day style. Use of the language in precise form is limited to specific areas where it matters such as law and science. Using the lack of precision when the communication is not on a subject requiring precision as a manner of attacking what was said is barely above the level of a child's "I didn't say, Simon says."
You have tried to pull this stunt an inordinate number of times. It is a common style for those annoying creeps who go around trying to be offended. And yes there is an entire type of Jew that isn't happy unless it is discovering antisemitism in everything. Their only self-satisfaction is in thinking they are important enough to others to be hated. It is a very poor ego trip. And this is no secret. It has been the subject of more than one article in Forward.

Please. There is no evidence the Torah is any older than the 2nd c. BC and more likely early 1st c. BC. There is nothing but religious traditions suggesting it is older than that. There is nothing in the contents suggesting a greater age. What little content there is that might suggest age is always much younger such as camels as pack animals. Beyond that there is no evidence of a literate culture which could have preserved the material over the centuries. Further collective memory and campfire tales is a modern invention. Moreover the people who claim the Torah never migrated from Ur nor had any connection with it. There is more.
The Torah is filled with tales of multiple genocides of the others. That they are fiction does not negate the source. In real history conversion by force of arms was started by the Maccabes who did that to the Samarians, Galileans and Idumaeans forcing them to adopt Judean cult practices including circumcision. By law and custom of the time, once circumcised the temple tax had to be paid no matter where they lived in either the Greek or Roman empires.
In any event bible stories praised destroying the other. The history of Josephus and books of Maccabe advocated conversion by the sword. If Christians had picked up on the Roman approach it would have been live and let live with other religions. But instead it picked up on Judean literature and custom as role model.
I did not realize it was so literally true for you. Perhaps they could still be sued at this late date. They are winning against church bells these days.

The three above statements are correct on almost all counts. However, there is one flaw: it is not a "stunt" if I actually don't know what you mean and am asking you to clarify. You may say I do know what you mean and am being obtuse--you'd be wrong. You may say I'm not a native English speaker--you'd also be wrong. You may say I'm deficient in understanding context--you'd probably be right.
I'm not Jewish, and I'm not claiming you're an antisemite. You are, however, a self-proclaimed anti-Zionist.
EDIT:
After rereading the conversation, I saw I had been impolite and accusatory before requesting clarification. I apologize for that, A_Nony_Mouse.
I don't know whether or not you agree, but I still don't think any individual should be asked to apologize for crimes he/she did not commit.
Regarding the sentence for which I requested clarification: I imagine most, if not all, of the other commenters understood your sentence just fine. I, however, did not. This seems to be because of something wrong with me, rather than with your writing.
Whatever problem it was, it was not dishonesty. And, it certainly seems to me that's exactly what you accused me of. If I'm correct, I ask you take more care in your future accusations.
Additionally, even if you don't care at all about me or what I say, not making false accusations is still a good idea.
That's fantastic! I remember seeing that! too bad the audio was mono..
I don't know about the exact age of judaism. The point was that the OT stole the ten commandments from the hittites, inherited El, Yahweh and Asherah from the Canaanites, knocked off the flood myth from Sumer, and the ideas of heavenly justice from Egypt. Numerology from the greeks. And Gaia knows what else. Religions evolve so it's unlikely there were any creative ideas in the OT. It would have been a patchwork of myths from the middle east and the med and probably as far away as India.
The judeans happened to sit on the fulcrum of the development of printed word and some of their number had a gnostic interpretation of god, originally a very liberal and cosmopolitan rendering of the singular OT god, that happened to be appropriated by the Romans, et al. I can't imagine that unique among the people of their time, jewish folk contrived a more monstrous god than any of their neighbours. Though perhaps it's the insistence on a single god that's the key thing. One god springloads a faith with bigotry against all outsiders or unbelievers.
More likely, though, the evolutionary nature of religion means that torah is a window into religious beliefs far older than it is.

Small quibble, I just have this one small quibble Yam, Yamm, Yaw, Yw ISN'T the origin of the god 'Yahweh'. I was
trying to track down Jon Days work for some 2 to 3 yrs--I finally found a copy but my Grandpa had just died so I no-longer
cared about the sought after book,. Typology is all wrong, Sumero-Akkadian religious texts and Ugaritic epics (and materials),
mention the 70 Sons of El. However, and the materials are so fragmented the list of 70 seems to be lost to time. In point of fact, No
one knows if Yahweh was specifically mentioned as one of the Sons of 'El' or not. If you review the interlinear in Kramer & Jacobsen
which allows you to make the correct understanding in this. Fore clearly noticeable many names for bodies of water will end in either
yam or yama (Hebrew example is Sea of reeds ::Yam suph). It has clear parallels rightly the Baal Cycle AND the show down with Bel
(Marduk) with his eagle mace. Anyhow, Etymology does not lie by its' roots with Yw. Furthermore, Beyond that Yahweh was/is not
a body of water. Nor was/is Yahweh the river of Judgement (or River to Hell). Btw, for the Xs of this world this is not something
you can find online.
P.s. -- I always wanted to stand where the river to hell once was. Deeply strange pilgrimage, I know, of no little significance,.
Google hunters are quite limited by what can be found online, but they can sometimes get lucky with the previews in Google Books.
http://books.google.com.au/books?hl=en&lr=&id=y-gfwlltlRwC has Day's chapter on Yahweh and El for example, so that'll keep me busy for a bit.
It helps when one is told what to look for, but sometimes one just has to copy and paste what Dana says.
By the way, that Hawking TV series that was called Curiosity in the US was shown here on free-to-air just after you mentioned it under the title Stephen Hawking's Grand Design. It was good.
I suspect many people would like to go to the River to Hell, by handcart ideally.

"Judg-16-21" '' . . Binding the mighty Sampson with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison. But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.Now the rulers of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon to celebrate, saying, “Our god has delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hands. When the people saw him, they praised their god, saying, Our god has delivered our enemy the one who laid waste our land and multiplied our slain.
While they were in high spirits, they shouted, “Bring out Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he performed for them. When they stood him among the pillars, Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them. Now the temple was crowded with men and women; all the rulers of the Philistines were there, and on the roof were about three thousand men and women watching Samson perform.Then Samson prayed to the Lord Sovereign LORD remember me! Please, G-d, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.” Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived. Then his brothers and his father whole family went down to get him. They brought him back and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father.''

> The smiles of a child, are the many flowers, Oooh Child things are going to get easier. I think the natural fear would be a natural worry if a guy is absentee, is he's not going to be there. Ever. Never again in the way that he was, at first. He's gone. For good. Right ?!?
Vices are common to us all . . . It's good to admit to each other when we are wrong. Communication is a must, I am glad there is a soon chance to communicate some more . . .
BHIMA (Bheem) AND HANUMAN (Story from Mahabharata)
'' . . Arjuna had gone to the Himalayas in quest of Divine weapons from Indra. In case of war he would have to face invincible warriors like Bhishma, Drona, Kripa, Aswatthama, Karna and many others. For this it was necessary to acquire more power. The other four Pandavas and Draupadi found life devoid of joy in his absence. Desiring a change of scene, they now moved on in search of a more peaceful place, inside the forest. At last they came to the Narayanasrama forest. They decided to take rest and stay there for a while. One day, the north-east wind wafted a flower near Draupadi. The sweet scent of the flower charmed her. Draupadi felt a deep desire to possess that flower known as Saugandhika. She requested Bhima to get her that flower. She was very insistent. Bhima was only too pleased. To satisfy her least desire. He forthwith set out. In the direction from which the fragrance came. The way through the forest was far from easy. Before long at the foot of a mountain he (Bhima) saw a huge monkey resting on his path, blocking his way. He asked the monkey to get up and clear the way for him. The monkey was in no mood to oblige. It said: “I am too old and weak to move. You can jump over me” Lacking humility Bhima, Incensed by this insolence, again asked the Monkey to move. He said ‘You old monkey, You don’t know who you are talking to. I am a Kshatriya from the Kuru race. I am the son of Kunti and the Wind god. Kunti gave birth to Bhima by invoking the God of wind, Vayu. I am the mighty Bheem. So, if you offend me any further, you will incur my wrath. I command you to better get up and move aside without. Wasting my time. The monkey said “If you are in such hurry, you can move my tail aside; And go ahead.” Bhima’s (Bheem's) threats did not have. Any effect on the monkey. Instead, it asked “Who is Hanuman. Tell me what is so great about him. What did he do?” Bhima told him “How can you be so very silly and ignorant? Have you not heard of the mighty Hanuman who jumped over to Lanka, across the sea, one Hundred yojanas wide, to find Sita , Rama’s Wife? Indeed you are ignorant” The monkey only smiled. Finding no other way, Bhima tried to pull the monkey’s tail aside .But he could not move it even a little bit. He put all his might in the endeavor, but to no avail. He was all perspiration. In spite of his best efforts he could not move the tail, despite his uncanny physcial strength! As such the question of challenging this monkey for a show of strength did not arise. He felt very. Humiliated and subdued. He told the monkey “You are no ordinary monkey. Please tell me . Who you are. I accept defeat and bow to you”. Hanuman said “Bhima (Bheem), I am that Hanuman. I am your brother, Shri Hanuman. Your path ahead is perilous. It is the path of the gods and is not safe for men. Look, I came to strongly caution you. I knew you have. Come to collect the Saugandhika flower. I Shall show you the pond, where this flower Grows. You can collect as many as you want And go back. Bhima was happy. He bowed. To Hanuman and requested him to show his Huge form in which he jumped over the sea, One hundred yojanas wide, to land on Lanka. Hanuman increased his size till he seemed To occupy the whole landscape, like a hill. His form was dazzlingly white ; so Bhima had to cover his eyes . Resuming his normal form, Hanuman embraced Bhima and blessed Him. He also assured him “When you roar Like a lion on the battle field, my voice shall join yours and strike terror in the hearts of your enemies. I will be there on the flag of The chariot of Arjuna .You will be victorious”. With Hanuman’s embrace Bhima’s strength had also increased. Hanuman wanted to free. His brother Bhima from his ego. In the ending part of the Mausala Parva, Yudhisthira explains his brother's vice was gluttony; the account where Shri Yudhisthira, in the discourse by the son of Dharma, we find the mighty Bhima was also a glutton..

Maybe because the subject has come up so much on the television at the stop and on the radio of late. This made me think about family and about marriage oddly enough . . .
1. WHY do you want to get married?
There are many possible answers of course; being in love, wanting a home of your own, wanting a family of your own, your body clock is ticking, wanting to get away from abusive parents, desire to intensify the level of love in your life, your status or standing in the community. It is not always the same universally for each and every individual. Basically You never know without being clear about what is going on in the mind of each individual.
What’s wrong with that? For the most part, pretty much nothing! Afterall, According to the sacred tradition. It was Atik Yomin's (e.g. - God’s) idea in the first place!
In Parshah Bereishit (Parshah Bereishit) Ch. 2:24 it clearly says:
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
And the New Testament record quotes these very words, an example in Gospel of Saint Mark 10:7-8, in so concluding “So they are no longer two, but one.”
