Had I begun my commentary regarding this up-coming event with a profession of astonishment over the "barbaric" practice of animal sacrifice I predict that a HUGE NUMBER of Observant Freepers would have jumped in with the facts regarding the fringe nature of the Temple Mount Faithful - how they DO NOT represent the average Jew - how my "buying into" the animal sacrifice thing was just one more example of "Phil V.'s anti-Semitism" - not far removed from that old canard of drinking the blood . . . . . . and on, and on, and on. . ..
There is just no way to get out of this thing. Go ahead and light the fuse!
The pools of poison deepen daily. I despair for that people.
My goodness phil, the reinstatement of the order of sacrifice is accepted by every observant Jew on the planet. The Temple Mount faithful are activists in a foolish way, but the desire for the return of this practice is a basic tenet of Judaism.
Does that disturb you? I don't accuse you of being a Jew-hater. You do seem like a lot of liberal tree huggers I know though. Tell me, did you join the protests against the WTO in Washington? Are you a Sierra Club activist? Did you vote for Al Gore?
Just curious phil.
