Every time you are attacked for your rants against Jews and Judaism, your response is to always question why they don't complain when rants at Christians and the others occur. Typical of someone of your ilk. Firstly, how do you know they don't? Have we seen any such rants against others in this thread? How do you know some of those who belittle you don't make it their life's work to fight the kind of rhetoric and fantasy you espouse? Answering questions with non sequiturs doesn't answer the questions. Secondly, Barbara exquisitely made the point I had always wanted to make to you, but was too lazy to engage you with, since you will have lots of justifications to explain how supposed eyewitnesses actually PROVE things from thousands of years ago. Like, prove he walked on water. Prove he raised the dead. Prove he was resurrected. Prove water was turned to wine. Prove he was conceived by a virgin mother. And so on, and so on, and so on. But don't prove them with OTHER scriptures. As I said previously, these fairy tales were concocted by men who needed to somehow explain the unexplainable of their times. And so it went. THAT'S why they are beleived today. Most need SOMETHING to have faith in, something to keep them going, something to satisfy the questions that have no earthly answers. And that's OK. Let them have whatever they need for that. Even if they need to believe in the genie on an old TV show. Why can't you take solace that you know the truth, and anyone who doesn't believe as you doesn't? Isn't that enough for you? It sure would be for me. Why don't you go rent a house in Pancho Viera, or wherever it was, and create a cult that can join you on that spaceship you're on? With sincered(?) contempt, Len
