Are your venomous moronic posts something you work at, or do they just come to you naturally? The Rat God says the Jewish religion, like the Christian religion, like the Muslim religion, like the Hindu religion, like all other
religions, has some good stuff in it and some total crap in it. There is a lot of good in Judaism, but some of the stuff in Judaism
such as the kosher killing of animals is as barabaric as the worst of the most primitive chicken plucker religions in the world. I am
amazed secular Jews tolerate the abuse of animals involved in Kosher killing. No Rat God would permit this injustice to animals.
Which puts the Judaic God below a Rat God on this issue.

You still haven't replied to your wrong assertion that only Jews could vote in Israel. Obviously you know very little about this issue.

I called you right. Why be ashamed of your Israel bashing? I don't get it.
I will post the negatives about Islamic Jihadists and Islam in general. I am proud to stand behind these posts. No denial on my part

You are entitled to your opinion, but the facts remain the facts. Jewish is not an ethnicity, it is a faith. Embracing that faith does not extend ownership of land to Poles and Russians.

God knows who Israel is. You seem to know too. Is it a secret?

Let's put things in perspective. Israel is a 2nd world socialist theocracy with a population less than 6 million and a GNP of less than $81 Billion. It has no manufacturing base and a military comprised primarily of marginally trained 19 year old conscripts and balding weekend warriors. Since the collapse of the USSR it has no significant strategic importance. It is only significant when judged by the size of the pain in the A$$ it gives the US.

I just mean God can figure out who belongs to the twelve tribes. People who are Jewish are probably Jewish. I am a gentile. One thing that I don't agree with my church is when the try to tell me I am an Israelite. This comes from replacement theology. Israel is Israel and the Church is the Church.

Boy, you're the one for trick questions. Let's see, as a non-Jew, non-Israeli, you probably got to vote because you were a member of the IDF. In other words, you donned the uniform of a foreign power whose interests are often variance with those of your native land.
Meanwhile, the palestinian cheap labor in Gaza and the bantustans your pals have set up can't vote -- but ideological mercenaries can.
Sort of proves my point, doesn't it, about the absence of REAL democracy in your hobbyhorse country.
Just out of curiosity, why did you discard the uniform of your native land?
Doing your bit to hasten the rebuilding of the temple and thus bring about the Second Coming? Just asking, because that view is pretty popular with a small, ignorant segment of backwoods Bible thumpers.
Got a feeling you fit that bill pretty neatly.

I didn't want to mention these because you can already see the anti truth squad like Lent coming out. My initial comment is that Israel violated international law, one that they signed onto, by continuing settlements. If Israel agrees to stop with its settlements and recognizes a separate Palestinian state, and Arabs continue their reign of terror than Arabs must pay a price.

If you would go back to George Bush seniors administration he gave them a 10 billion dollar "loan" on the condition that Israel would cease building settlements. Get your facts straight.

Actually only citizens can vote. When I served I recieved citizenship.
"Meanwhile, the palestinian cheap labor in Gaza and the bantustans your pals have set up can't vote -- but ideological mercenaries can."
20% of registered voters in Israel are Muslim. You said only Jews could vote in Israel. Either you don't know or you're a liar. Whichever it is you should stay silent.
"Just out of curiosity, why did you discard the uniform of your native land?"
I see you read my profile, so you should know. I saw what was beoming of this country. I didn't want to be involved in a war I didn't agree with. A few years later we were bombing Christians in Serbia on Easter, I'm glad I got out in time, they might have had to throw me in jail for disobeying orders.

Flattery will get you nowhere Bunyip
To: Michael2001
"Flattery will get you nowhere, Bunyip" With messianic nutcases, neither does common sense. Nice to know you put your country's interests and security in second place to your crackpot religious beliefs. It's a reminder to anyone else who has watched this thread devolve from civil discussion to lunatic theology that the enemy isn't just terrorists and Arab dictators, it's also fools on the homefront.
When the 700 Club is over, why don't you go see if the red heifer has turned up in the milking shed yet? It'll keep you out of trouble and save the rest of us from annoyance.
