You might want to hold onto those stones until you take a good look at Leviticus. -Eric

Boy those Jews sure love stoning people.

When's the last time this has happened in Israel?

Now when is the last time a peace loving molsem has killed a Jew or Christian?

See the difference?

I hope you do.

One reason it hasn't is that Israel is not a very religious country. The majority of Israelis are agnostics who see Judaism as a culture that is based on a quaint, historic mythology that made a convenient basis for a code of morality.

There ARE religious zealots in Israel, and they DO tend to be somewhat outrageous in their pronouncements, like the followers of Meir Kehane.

I saw an interesting tidbit about the religious "Far right" the other day on the Discovery Channel. It told the story of Gordon Kahl, the man in North Dakota who in the late 70s and early 80s came to represent the anti-Semitic Christian Identity movement that made inroads in the agricultural midwest at the height of the family farm crisis.

This was one bad dude who didn't care who he killed, and who blamed Jewish bankers for all the ills of the "Christian" world.

There are nuts and fruitcakes aplenty among every religion. I refuse to tar all religious people with that brush because of the extremists.
