You do realize that you are arguing with people who believe that their holy man can summon down some kind of cosmic energy and whip a beam across the church that cures bed wetting, dont you? Just as socialism has its useful idiots, so the amen corner has its "scripture" inspired supporters. These people have been programmed to be unable to distinguish a religion from a modern nation state and no amount of reasoning with them is going to help.

And you realize you're talking to a "religious fanatic," but I've noticed that the anti-religious rationalists and the religious fanatics who share an opposition to Israel never get mad at each other.

And why be opposed to "socialism" or any other thing unless it is opposed to the Jewish G-d Who created the world and told us what is right and what is wrong in the first place? If you're that rationalist, you might want to build a time machine and go back to Jacobin France where you belong.

Actually I was talking to Ilbay, unless you are claiming to be same?

... a "religious fanatic,"
Goody for you. Ive chosen other hobbies. I respect your right to belong to any religion you wish as long as you dont push it on me Mr. Taliban.

...but I've noticed that the anti-religious rationalists and the religious fanatics who share an opposition to Israel never get mad at each other.
Which certainly could occur, the two groups have opposing opinions on the validity of religion. Since the discussion of our foreign relations with Israel has nothing to do with religion, members of these groups might agree. As a nation of religious freedom we should not determine our foreign relations based on the religion practiced by the majority of the nation we are interacting with. "Israel" is not "Judaism" and vice versa regardless of the number of times that demagogues trot out religion or genocide. Even if it were it would make no difference, as a nation of religious freedom it also means that we as a nation can play no favorites.

And why be opposed to "socialism" or any other thing unless it is opposed to the Jewish G-d Who created the world and told us what is right and what is wrong in the first place?
Because even your G-d laid down the ground rules but kind of left the rest up to us...unless you can point out the chapters and verses of the parking statutes and international trade tariffs. Thanks in advance.

If you're that rationalist, you might want to build a time machine and go back to Jacobin France where you belong.
Would you like me to swing by the stone age and drop you off on my way?
