Greetings Mr. Sennett, Of course you are entitled to your opinion. No one is suggesting that you are not welcome to offer your opinion here. I am simply informing the readers of this board who might give heed to the erroneous portrayals of Christianity, in particular Orthodox Christianity -- the only true and faithful expression of Christianity. Now you admit that you are "irreligious". If you are irreligious, would it be accurate to say that you do not believe in God? And if you do not believe in God, that you reject the concept of heaven and hell as well? If you do not accept the concept that after our brief earthly sojourn, that one is sent eternally either to heaven or hell, then what is the basis for your rejection of Zionism? First of all, if you do not believe in God, from where do you form your basis for morality? From your parents? The society in which you happen to live? Global society as a whole? From what? What moral basis informs you that Zionism is evil and must be opposed in the first place? Secondly, if no one has to give account in the afterlife for what he has done here in his present life, why spend your precious and short lifetime fighting against a cause which you can do little about? You admit that the Zionists have great power do you not? A Zionist President Bush has captured the White House for two terms now. Why not join the Zionist cause in exchange for worldly benefits which I am sure the Zionists are prepared to shower upon you for your submission or acquiescence? Many do just that. After all, if you are an atheist and don't believe you will have to give account for your actions in any way shape or form in the next life, why not just worry about how to make your life as pleasurable as possible while preserving it as long as possible?
