<<Your comments about Jews goes way past the religion and political views it is IMO obsessive and hateful. I have read your post for some time and have seen a consistent focus even now you say you are blamed for your out of line comments about the Jews and the State of Israel as being anti-Semitic. >>> That's your opinion and you are entitled to it but it doesn't make you right. I don't find words of hate in Emile's posts. I see him as a Christian warning people to forsake everything that opposes the doctrine of Jesus. Chris

You need a circumcision of your heart IMO. Now, that is one good suggestion, however, I believe that circumcision of the brain would be more appropriate. Thanks for the phrase and the idea. I have a great respect for the Israeli people, I view them as my equals, as I do anybody else that uses reason and self-esteem in his/her dealings with each other human being. However, I am not a believer of any religion, nor I believe in any gods, demons, heaven, or hell. I further believe that the so call "good books", be those the bible, koran, talmud, or any other similar type of book, is no more than a recollection of old scripture written thousands of years ago I will respect anybody that want to believe whatever they want to believe, so long so they keep it private, as I believe that these issues belong in the realm of each individual private affairs. However, I lose respect very quickly at the first sign that anyone wants to preach, indoctrinate, push, brain wash, deceive or any other hidden intention in reference to their religious beliefs and the influences they place upon others. Particularly when they do it relentlessly, incessantly, and without regard or respect of the wishes of those who clearly reject their beliefs. I sympathize with you in having to respond to the venom spouted by the apostles of the absurd, regardless of the different tones of "love" "kindness" or mere zombitron fashion, particularly ignoring specific questions put to them. Indeed hiding their real agenda. Good luck to you and never give in to these priests of guilt, parrots of scripture, and bishops of the absurd. Again, thanks for your phrase and excellent idea. It made me laugh, while I was reading the rubbish that these buffoons are capable to produce. "May you have warmth in your igloo, oil in your lamp, and peace in your heart." - Eskimo blessing Z. p.s. I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters. [Keyboards]. - Solomon Short p.s.s. "The fact, however, that threats of Hell have their social uses is not an argument in favor of the truth of religion; it is simply an argument against the human race. More, it is probably libellous, for the overwhelming majority of men and women are not nearly so vicious as the fancy of theologians makes them out [to be]. Very few men, if Hell were proved to be a fiction tomorrow, would take to the highroad and cut throats, and very few women would turn drabs." ~ H.L. Mencken
