Mr. John,
I get it, a cartoon of characters singing the same song while killing each other, is your idea of truth. No they were not singing from the same song sheet, if you actually knew the history of the Hebrews. My link is a Jew explaining the historical significance of a certain hill to the Jewish people, based on their scriptures. That is a lie according to you, you who goes for the truth by cartoon.

You are right I grant.....It is not a lie.

But it is only a fraction of what a small group of people in a small period of time think about a particular place.

Art is often a better guide to truth that reality.

At least three religious groups claim absolute authority to do as they wish in that area of land because God said they could. And whist such views persist there will never be peace, as the cartoon predicts. That is one of the dangers of belief in god.

Instead of your superstitious mumbo jumbo?

Are you Jewish?

Do you pray to your god every day to thank him for not making you a woman?

Since only 6% of refuse collectors are female perhaps many English women pray to give thanks they are not dustmen.

I'd have thought close on 100% of English women give thanks that they're not dustmen.

They don't need to do anything as pointless as pray about it, just not be men, refuse collectors or not.

It's a genuine prayer for Jews.

But not being one of your god's favoured people, you probably wouldn't have known that.

Wouldn't you be better off discussing this with Jewish posters? Oh I forgot .......the antitheists 'bored' them away

Like most believers, they probably didn't like their ju-ju challenged by sceptics. 

Either that or they hated the close shaves they kept getting from Occam's Razor.  You should try it sometime.....it slices, it dices, it removes superfluous deities.

I'd like to know if there ever were any to start off with. Vlad claims that Jewish posters here were chased off by "anti-theists," but that's news to me - I didn't know we'd ever had any Jewish posters here. You can't chase away somebody who isn't even there.

I did ask but I guess Vlad didn't see the question.
