"Freedom of Religion" crack. Perhaps, the "mutual respect" crack was more appropriate: freedom of religion regulates what happens between a person and the gevernment. That is what made me confused.

All is settled now.

Phil, I think that TQ's "problem" is related to a quantum paradox WRT to dead cats.

I did not have a problem: Phil did (see #61).

I guess, you wanted to shine and give us a complete account of what you had heard about quantum mechanics. Go ahead, then; I'll go out for a walk...

Yes, that's right. It involves choosing sides. Fence riders will be swept away with the chaffe. Now *that* is dicey.

Chariots Up!

If you could choose would you prefer "particle" over "wave"?

I would prefer "wave" because it is more general: I can imagine a particle as a particular wave or wave packet.

Or do you find functionality in duality? There is some convenience. But I think most people, when thinking of particles, understand them as a certain image of waves and waves in themselves. It goes to the faith/fact conundrum. Again, speaking of myself only, I do not find much of a dilemma here. To me, faith does not deal with facts but rather with the attribution of facts. Of course, it is a deep issue, and this short remark cannot even begin to do justice to the issue. But you asked, and I did not want to be disrespectful. So, here is a short answer (sorry) rather than none at all.

The Bible clearly shows that God is going to give "His Land" to Israel. Not because they deserve it, but because His great name is at stake – God cannot break a promise. It is after this that God will bring the Jews to repentance and give them a new heart. He will accomplish this through delivering them from a coming war that will almost destroy the world.

In addition, in Revelations, it is also made clear that those nations that do not stand with Israel will be destroyed.

Even the Christian masses don't quite believe this yet, do they?

[Freemeorkillme]

What makes you think that? Christians happen to be Israel's #1 allie. Certainly, one of the fundamental reasons for their support is biblical, would you not think?

The First Amendment doesn't have the slightest bearing on which, if any, of FR's five separate forums the FR management chooses to place a posted article.

True. Agreed 100%.

The apparent confusion WRT my usage of "freedom of religion" and references to "First Amendment" and my possible misinterpretation of your use of the word, "it", has possibly caused you to conclude that I have an argument with the movement of articles (sometimes) from the original assignment by the person who posts the article.

You summonsed the Sidebar Moderator to consider moving the article to the religion forum. I rather obliquely disagreed with you on the basis that the Middle East catastrophe is in a large part based on the consequences exacted on one tribe as the result of another tribe's APPLICATION of religious FAITH. . . . altering FACTS as the result of FAITH.

In short, this article was properly placed by the original poster.

[Salvation]

What makes you think that?

I was speaking more of the people who voted AGAINST the supportive document today in Congress. Just thinking about the politicians -- shall we count them in or out?

[hope]

What makes you think that?

Just looking at some of the related threads on FR proves your point. BTW, did the supportive document pass today?

[GovernmentShrinker]

Yes, my "it" was referring only to the posting of the article on FR.
