Now, at the outset, I am not biased for or against any of your gods, I take them all on merit and evidence, as one should, with anything. However, as an observer, I would have to say, there is pretty good grounds for saying that God qualfied as the ultimate anti semite, or more specifically, a hater of Hebrews. God loves all etc, yeah yeah, but actions speak louder than words, right? Well, we need only look to the OT. This pre dated Christianity or Muslims, so it is fair to assume that most of the charachters in it were Hebrews, or Jews, if you like. Now, in the OT, god engaged in a fair amount of genocide, infantacide, and you would have to think that those on the receiving end, were Jews, right? Soddom & Gommorah? Or when god decided he was going to wipe out early man (Jew?), and apparently got Noah to build his 'ark', so that god could genocide the people below, by way of massive floods. God allegedly sends his only son, in human form. Quite why he only could send one, and why in human form, is open to speculation, but there you go. What happened? Jews of that time plotted his arrest, and murder, not just murder,but by the most brutal means. I mean, you can believe the part that it was meant to be etc, but if you think as any father would, you could only be enraged if that were done to your one and only son. No other way about it. To rub salt into the wounds, Jews refuse to accept God's son, long after his death, and are even hateful about him, in their talk, and in their Talmud. Remember, according to the OT, god has done massive things to them before, and often for less. He supposdely makes a pact or covenant with them...they turn around and break it. He scatters them throughout the lands, to live among the other people, for breaking it, I believe. Now, we know, for it is written down, that god has and can both guide a people to safety or sit back and do nothing, depends. He has, according to the writings, done both, at different times. One would assume, that since god can do anything, and has created everyone, that he can literally create the people that then lead to a certain given event. If, for example, the tradtional Jewish holocost narrative is taken at face value, we know that god must have known what was happening. Moreover, god must have let it happen, because, had god wanted to, he could have either stopped it, at any time, or he could have prevented it, in the first place. And yet he did not. Now, you can invent some benign twist as to why not, if you wish, but if you put all of this together, it does not strike me that if you believe in god, that god himself has often been angered by the Jews, up and to the point of genociding them, or sitting back and letting them be killed. Not big into religous dogma, but I think the basic narrative there is correct.
I'm an observer. I'm monitoring the incidence of stupidity and the subsequent dialogue....carry on....I'm subscribed now...
Observe then, it is just if I spent all day posting on threads to say 'stupid thread', what would that make me?
Why would I bother, or even care? Please, if you want to take part, do so, if not, then read or start your own thread, or have a cuppa.
