    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    Life, like everything in the universe, including the universe itself, is the random confluence of sub-atomic particles.

    Where did the particles come from?

    That's unknowable, but if you want to credit your god, Ralph, that's as good a guess as any. Just be aware that if god created the particles, he/she didn't show any interest in them afterwards. That's knowable by casual observation alone.

    Right.....just use the Scientific Method to make a fact of your OPINION. Then you have the inherent right to stick your nose up the assholes of other human beings. No one can argue with a FACT OF SCIENCE.


    As I demonstrated MY FAITH is constructed upon PRIMA FACIE truths......it is YOU that claims to be working with science actual but just self confessed to something being UNKNOWABLE. Thus that unknown must be reasoned and logical truth....i.e., a from of PHILOSOPHY not science.

    That reminds me of a certain Biblical Passage: They profess to be wise but became FOOLS in their arrogance. Paraphrased. God does not exist in prima facie manner but ALEINS DO? Really?

    And you keep right on doubting. I know exactly where it will lead you. So do you, if you would just simply let go of your pride and open your eyes. You will stand before God, one day, and be judged. I do not envy you the experience.

    Its very kind of you to be worried about me, but perhaps be more concerned about yourself for scriptures is full of examples of Jesus telling those who thought as you did, Pharisees, etc, that the last shall be first and the first last.

    No interest? Seriously? I don't even know where to begin with that stupid comment, except to wonder if you've ever read the Bible. God sent His Son to die for us. If that's not taking an interest, then what is?

    You have no clue what you're talking about. You simply mock what you haven't the wit to understand.

    So, the Bible is wrong? You don’t understand the warnings of Jesus? What exactly am I clueless about? What do you think these words mean?

    You are yet to answer your challenges of WORKING WITH SCIENCE....yet you are making demands of others to present and prove the charges MADE BY YOU? Really? Just how does anyone go about proving YOUR NEGATIVE? Its the typical deflection of all human seculars. You profess a belief in something you can't prove to be a fact and deny you are engaging in nothing but human philosophy and self denying the right of others to the same? Sounds kind'a FASCIST to me. Have you never read or comprehended the 1st amendment? All forms of socialism are grounded in fascism.....as socialism is not compatible with personal liberties and freedoms. The only way socialism can exist is in an attempt to force equality through threats and violence. If you don't believe me just look at the over 100 million unmarked shallow graves of those nations using socialism to seek SOCIAL JUSTICE.
