<< It was a mistake to seize the opportunity to create a state and flood the Mandate with anyone who could make a half hearted claim to be a Jew (including atheists and a folks with a bankroll). >>
After the Holocaust, the Jews probably felt that building a State, and increasing their numbers, was the only way they could protect Jews from another Holocaust.
Do you feel that the Jews would have survived, if they had kept their numbers down, not created a state and left their existence up to the Arabs?
<< I do not agree with you that America is or should be a Christian country. >>
There is a church on every friggin corner, in every friggin city, in every figgin state! There are almost more churches than McDonalds. I would say that this is a Christian country.
<< Folks can claim to be anything they like, but there are standards and I do not have to believe them. >>
So, what are you saying, that some people are two faced? I agree. There are a lot of people who use a professed belief in Christianity for their own personal gain, especially politicians. But, for the most part, the majority of the religious faithful are true believers.
One of the most interesting comments I have ever heard was by Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor. After all the murdering and torturing and suffering that he witnessed, he was asked how he could still believe in a god. His answer was: "I don't know what else to do".
Figure that one out! |
