[quote]Proof is not necessary.[/quote] then why do you spend so much time and effort twisting logic and fact (men walking the earth with dinosaurs for example) to prove that which cannot nor need be proven? what is it exactly you claim to be kicking for christ? perhaps i've misunderstood your mission here?
[quote]the discussion as academic, since an anti-Semite is "one who discriminates against or who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews".[/quote] to paraphrase mae west, academic has nothing whatsoever to do with such a poor definition. i'm aware of its origin but that's hardly an excuse to continue using a term so lacking logic and precison (the two qualities demanded--by definition, if you will--of anything purporting to be definitive). it should be replace
[quote]for some there is never enough proof, for others no proof is necessary.[/quote] do you not see the irony here? you undermine any claim you might otherwise make to having faith by demanding of yourself--and attempting to convince others to accept--a blizzard of dubious(at best) evidence for that which can't be proven but only believed. what's provably true requires no faith.

fasting is only a significant sacrifice when those participating are used to having full bellies. three days of official idleness on an island with a population threatened by disease and drowning? is god really that venal or stupid?
sorry for takin so long to get back to this. what i was--and still am--hoping for is exactly what you claim to be providing: clarification. instead you persist on muddling what should be a fairly cut-and-dry statement. beyond that, i fail to see how a people who are themselves semites can also be anti-semites. [quote]Arabs_ are Semites just like Israelites (Jews)[/quote] i wasn't aware sraelites existed in the modern world. same goes for pho
[quote]I just didn't see the relevance.[/quote] if you don't mind, i'll explain once you clarify whether arabs are or aren't themselves a semitic people as well. statements such as these: [quote]There are lots of Semitic peoples. I often lament how sad it is that most of them still live under Arab rule[/quote] and: [quote]The other Semitic peoples (Lebanese/Phoenicians, Aramaeans, Assyrians) haven't been that lucky. (Of course, before the civil wa
[quote]He was trying to discredit you by mis-direction.[/quote] not at all. nor was i trying to get you to discredit your obtuse self by mis-spelling or mis-punctuation.
[quote]_Arabs_ are Semites just like Israelites (Jews). Why?[/quote] why did i ask you whether palestinians (or however you want to define that particular subset of arabs who've lived in what is know defined as the state of israel) are also semites? or are you asking another question entirely?
aren't palestinians also semites?
[quote]While I will give the beeman the benefit of the doubt that he was caught unaware that he had just been reported as being passed away his name usuage I cannot see the connection and hope that he would either help me make the connection or admit to distasteful slander?[/quote] i'd certainly heard his name mentioned that day or someone else with an equally silly name woulda most likely come to mind more quickly than did roberts'.

[quote]Instead of acknowledging the fact that Tiger is indeed a "Cheetah" you ran to something else instead that has no bearing on the subject matter.[/quote] my initial reply specifically focused on two statements in your post, one of which was: [quote]I was also thinking about names. In the bible people's names meant something. It told a story about who they were.[/quote] i prolly shoulda quoted your next statement as well: [quote]I'm thinking maybe ins
[quote]So that makes it all right to mock his death.[/quote] i wasn't mocking his death...only his name as kfc was mocking that of tiger woods. nor was i mocking his existence (he did that well enough himself) but merely stating a fact. he did claim god told him he'd be taken within 3 months of his call for 8 million bucks in donations. you, on the other hand, seem to have no problem mocking those who exercise their right to disagree with your political vi
[quote]No courtesy grieving period by the left, especially for a religious figure.[/quote] anyone who claims god told him he'd die if his followers didn't send him 8 million bucks in a couple month's time is hardly worthy of anyone's grief or being designated a religious figure.

[quote]don't you have to have a message people want to hear, or at least be mildly interesting?[/quote] don't have to be certified to be certifiable i guess.

nothin puts christ back into christmas like charlie brown. irrefutable evidence, at last, of the left's concerted strategy of secularizing our national religous cultural heritage.
guess i should hire someone to ghost a book for me.
[quote]Pity it was cheapened with the anti-Netanyahu political message.[/quote] [quote]I chose not to mention that, but since you have, I agree.[/quote] in 1995, before stepping up to condemn rabin in a speech delivered to thousands of angry demonstrators in zion square--some of whom carried posters of rabin in nazi regalia--chanting "death to rabin", netanyahu was reportedly cautioned by then housing minister ben-eliezer against further inflaming the mob: "You'd bette

[quote]My point is, Larry, that I think you are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. We (Jews and Zionists) already acknowledge that there are Jewish extremists as bad as Yigal Amir and that there are so-called "Rabbis" who spread hatred. We already condemn them and Israel's police and army are fighting them and their positions and actions are illegal in Israel.[/quote] while this specific instance involves the tragic murder of an israeli by three other israelis wh
[quote]Yigal Amir murdered one of the men who was instrumental in defending Israel. It is he who is to be blamed for Israel having lost one of her greatest generals.[/quote] without presuming to speak for larry, you seem to be missing his point. amir and his co-conspirators didn't act on a whim, a sudden impulse or in a vacuum. they were enabled by others who wrecklessly and deliberately created a climate of hatred in which such outrages go from being unimaginable to ine
[quote]Benjamin Netanyahu, the current Prime Minister of Israel, often spoke against Rabin at rallies organized by the Likud party, where Rabin was portrayed in a Nazi uniform or shown in the cross-hairs of a gun. You need to know that Rabin was a member of the Israeli Palmach in the years before independence. He fough in the same mission wher Moshe Dayan lost his eye. Rabin served in the IDF. As Prime Minister, he was responsible for the airlift at Entebbe. This was not a man that deserved t
