You are wrong, certainly from my point of view. If they say they are Torah-true Jews then I accept that they are. Consequently it is not necessary for me to know the scriptures in order to accept or reject what they say. I am entitled to take them at their face value in the same way that I take Bush as a Christian.

And you say Christians are the ones who are deluded. If you accept what everyone says at face value, then why do you condemn the Zionists? They say they are fulfilling the will of God, which is the regathering of the Jewish exiles back into their own land (eretz Israel). According to them, anyone who opposes this is opposing God.

It is apparent from your posts that you don't accept this viewpoint, so right there you have made a judgment. So how is it you judge the Zionists as being frauds but you claim not to judge the veracity of everyone else's claims?

How do you even know that the actions of the Zionists are even wrong? Based upon what value system do you arrive at this conclusion? How is it wrong to kill Arabs and take their land? What tells you this is not acceptable? Perhas this is just Darwinistic survival of the fittest. Kill or be killed.

If you simply are to take what everyone says at face value, how can you ever be sure about anything?

After all, I may tell you that the earth is round, and another may tell you that the earth is flat. Now the earth can't be both round and flat, so right there you are forced to make a judgment or you are left to acknowledge that you don't really know anything about anything.
