Cyprian > If life arose merely as the result of chance, then there is no such thing as right and wrong, morality and immorality. Those are human concepts, not divine, in fact, there is no such thing as a divine concept. Since I'm a human being I appreciate them and understand those concepts.

Cyprian > What reigns is simply survival of the fittest. According to Darwin. I'm not Darwin. But, can anyone doubt that power doesn't come from superior force? > there is no purpose to your critical view of Zionism Many would believe I'm wasting my time. > You claim that the Zionists have unfairly stolen land from the Palestinians. No question about that, it's a fact. If the Zionists want the land they should pay for it in exactly the same way they would if they bought land anywhere else. And they can well afford to pay. On their part it's a conscious choice not to pay for the land but to force the Arabs away. > When you watch the nature channel do you cry foul at the sight of animals seizing territory from each other, and killing one another? Or eating each other, for that matter. Sometimes I do get upset watching carnivores killing herbivores. Don't you? > If you believe in the evolution nonsense you believe we aren't far removed from the animals. Instinctively, humans are animals but the social order we have created is designed to prevent us acting like animals, certainly overtly. (Try smelling a strange female's genitalia in public and see what happens!) But we still kill and, in fact, are the only species that kills its own -- and enjoys it. > why do you cry foul when the stronger (Zionists) seize territory from the weaker (Palestinians)? I believe in the rule of law which is what humans have learned, or should have, as result of civilization. > No different than what you will see on some nature program. True. So, why doesn't the US nuke China, Russia and all Muslim states because there are people, particularly those who claim to be devoutly religious, who want to do exactly that? > Evolutionists are some of the most illogical people. They claim to adhere to logic and science but they have such a foolish and nonsensical way of thinking. As you see it. I understand the strengths and weaknesses of their "belief" and I also understand, to some extent, why people are religious. Each way is a conscious choice -- and, as an existentialist, I believe for each choice one pays the price and obtains the benefit of that choice. There is no free lunch -- neither in this life, or the next (for those who believe there is one).
