"My point is that many go out of their way to criticize Israel and leave other conflicts alone. I am suspect about these people."
What is the topic of this thread? Jews getting a free pass. You are free to disagree, but your above comment…
Well said, Nate. There is not only Jewish persecution/hatred/anti-Semitism, although these are real problems and need to be made better. What many Jews fail to acknowledge, is that there is ALSO a Jewish persecution COMPLEX, which is also a problem.…
This is the problem I have with your post and that of many Israeli supporters. They want to talk about the past, but NOT so as to avoid repeating it. They appear to me to want to insure the past coninues into the future. The present future I see for…
The heck it isn't. It isn't realistic because superstition, as we all know, dies hard, but it would go a long way toward bringing about a solution. Everybody has problems everywhere. People do not murder each other constantly everywhere.…
Why am I not surprised that the first person to call me a name here is a supporter of Israel? Thanks for proving my point. All Palestinians are liars and all Israelis are as pure as the fresh snow. None of us really have much first hand information…
Timing is everything. Just spent the better part of three days "posting" with Jews and Palestinians and their repective 'supporters' on Amazon discussion threads. Not really believing I had a dog in the fight (other than world…

Sorry for not replying sooner and thank you for the quote. I used to be offended when people would throw out the RCC "eating Jesus body and blood" thing, but it is what it is. Part of a thousands year old "blood…
Thanks, James. As I understood "Lilith" she was an invention of the Jewish "something" ["midrash"?] which commented upon and explicated the Torah. Lilith refused to have sex with Adam in the missionary position…
I hear there were two genisis books because the pagan stories told of a woman from planet god that denied adam
go figure
her name was lilith so the tale goes
"Religion is a big pile of crap (with absolutely no offense intended to the biologically necessary and helpful pile of crap)."
Why am I an Atheist? I compared the Judeo-Christian god to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What kind of god does…
Retired Attorney raised Catholic; deeply religious but also intelligent parents who never forced it down our (13 children) throats. Recognized the dogma as inconsistent with a loving God and steadily departed the rest of the train from there. Dawkins' The God Delusion eliminated any remaining vestiges of the brainwashing and convinced me along with other atheists/freethinkers that it was not enough to be freed from this nonsense. We need to free as many others as we can. Education and science are the answers but "Breaking the Spell," which is exactly what it is, is not going to be easy.
my name is Mohammad ,from Iraq ,muslim,but I hate Islam,prophet Mohammad and Quran.
I want to leave my religion forever and be without any religion.
All religions are the stories and legends created by people to achieve their personal interests and control the minds of human .
I do not believe that "god is exist.
I do not want any one or religion control on me.
I want to be free in my life.
I am looking for freedom and paces in this universe
my dear friend? I'm suffering a lot in my community.
You know if any one wanted to change his religion or be without any religion, they will kill him.
So I hope to help me.
Hi Jack: Just came across your name in searching and i thought I might obtain you work in both the NT and OT. You responded to my comments on trying to get through the Bible on books on tape. I finally did it but it was difficult and boring in many spots especially the design of tent and all the genealogy. The question I have are your works on tape--easier traveling around the countryside listening than finding the time to read.
Hi Jack! My parents live in the Villages! We visit there a couple of times a year. They too are non believers though I don't think they call themselves Atheists.
If you want to have a place to download it, for others, try http://ifile.it/ . It should let you upload your file and then when you want someone to download it you can just give them the link.
Thank you for the welcome. I am interested in the manuscript you mentioned in comments, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. A link would be appreciated.
Hi John!I am pleased to be welcomed and added as a rational friend .I would love to read your article,so send me a link.I would give my own story then.I actually have a very interesting background,christian since birth,muslim since 1993 until early this year,that is a fair 16 years of further indoctrination.Well,for now,thanks and ciao.
Jack,
Thanks for the welcome. I would like to read your document. Send me a link to it.
It sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to reading it and discussing it with you.
