I’m with you. That is why my shotgun (right here close by) is loaded with six shells, buckshot, slug, buckshot, slug, well you get the picture.

There are many who are working diligently to “remedy” that.

Thanks Pharmboy. Not sure, I'm tired and didn't read it carefully, probably one of *those* topics.

Sirius Lee is correct. Monotheism in a sense was there in Zoroastrianism around the same time. I don’t believe either influenced the other though..

AND, how is it that they are STILL HERE...? An antisemitic liberal once told me that it was a miracle the Jews were still in Israel or anywhere. I agreed, which I think startled him.

To: Paisan
AND, how is it that they are STILL HERE...? And STILL managing to tick off surrounding peoples. Anti-semitism is rampant in the Mid-East, but forget that. Why is it making such a big comeback among Europeans, who really should know better after Hitler, and Leftists of all stripes?

You should read the book I mentioned, avaialble on Amazon for <$20. Some Greek philosophers and one Egyptian pharoah were monotheists too. That similarity to Hebrew monotheism is very superficial, however. Only the Hebrews worshipped a transcendant God, unconnected with nature, in a loving covenant with His people, and espoused a unique view of reality that did not blur the realms of the Divine, Nature, and Humanity as did all other religions, including those noted above. The book is not just someone's personal decaration of faith, but is a scholarly exploration of historical facts and details about mythological religions. Whatever the Bible is, it's not myth. You'll enjoy it, I think.

I think you mean the Grapes on Raft.

Anti-semitism is rampant in the Mid-East, but forget that. Why is it making such a big comeback among Europeans, who really should know better after Hitler, and Leftists of all stripes? Just part of Satan's plan, like the founding of islam.

Of course.
Fortunately, we know how it turns out in the long run. The short run can be pretty tough, though
