As of now, I'm done with you. You're small-minded and prejudiced, and you are teaching your children to follow in your mindset of small-mindedness. Religion does not exist to tear people apart - those who use it to that end have missed the point. The Old Testament God certainly had himself a temper, but he never condemned anyone to eternal damnation because to Jews there is no such thing - we are all accepted back into God's arms from whence we came. Even you, after spreading such idiocy into your poor innocent children's minds will be accepted.

I refuse to debate this with you because you have made up your mind and you insist on believing yourself better than all those who hold a different viewpoint. YOu are the worst of the religious right - the ones even _I_ will warn my children about, and I have the greatest respect for religion and religious people. But only those who are capable of extending that respect to others outside their little circle.

Then just explain to me what Daniel meant by "Everlasting Contempt".

Daniel 12:2 - And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

What does the current Jewish religion say was the reason God allowed Israel to suffer almost 2000 years of exile?

Did the Jews do something in the first century that caused this?

Do they even address it?

I'm just curious.

"Religion does not exist to tear people apart - those who use it to that end have missed the point. "

Are all religions O.K.? Or just the three monotheist ones? What about Hindus and Buddists?

Was Elijah out of line when he mocked and jeered the Baal prophets?

1 Kings 18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not mocking and jeering the Jews. I can see how as a Jew you might reject Jesus, but I can't see how you think all religion is O.K. based on the Jewish scriptures.

YOu are the worst of the religious right

Is this the spirit of tolerance, the spirit of diversity, the spirit of inclusiveness, the spirit of the rainbow flag welcoming all colors of the post-rain mist, rearing its lovely head? Or is it that your opinion of this poster is actually worse than what you wrote and this was the best compliment you could muster?
