Greetings from Indonesia

[ShlomoHaAvinoo]

You look so Happy :)

[puckf17]

In Ireland ppl like Region1 are commonly called begrudgers. On the internet they are remarkably LIKE religious zealots. In the States the Puritans were described as ppl who "lived in fear that someone, somewhere was having a good time." And you don't have to be religious (coz I'm sure not) to feel the joy here. The only reason R1 would even be here is to rain on ppl's fun and assert dominance on a thread in the guise of "wisdom."

So pay no attention and party on folks!

[belltolls987]

[ShoshyShani]

Such a great story!

[mjazz18]

U r so funny dude btw i am also in need of a gf can u hook a brother up?

[fabu10us]

to all the science believers over religion.. i completely agree with you. Because Judaism is not a religion.

Judaism is G-d's need. People preffer to stay athiests in order to live comfortably. people rather choose to NOT know the truth because if they did, they wouldnt be able to live their dirty unholy life style.

but back to the topic.. if u say u dont believe in religion, but believe in science - your contradicting yourself.

science is man-discovered.. just like all the religions were.

[BringersOfTruth]

[gbjew]

2 more and you get a free ticket to heaven :-)

[region1111]

gbjew there's no such thing as heaven

[gbjew]

That's fine, but it's nice to think you'd be going there if there were one; besides, helping people find each other and fall in love is a nice thing to do, as it makes life in this world a lot more fun.

[region1111]

> helping people find each other and fall in

> love is a nice thing to do

I never said it wasn't.

> it's nice to think you'd be going there if there

> were one

since there's no heaven why fantasize about it

[gbjew]

"since there's no heaven why fantasize about it"

Because life's a piece of shit.

[region1111]

You should do what I do and hang out with goys. They're nicer and won't bug you about observing the holidays. Plus they have more fun since they're not held back by religious rules.

[gbjew]

I grew up a Christian in a Muslim community. :-)

[region1111]

What made you convert to judaism?

[gbjew]

I decided that this was what I believed true. I have a general tendency to try to figure out what's right and then act on it. So I decided to convert. My parents were so happy, they threw me out on the street. :-P

[region1111]

When I decided I was an atheist my parents weren't happy but they just accepted it.

[NesanelS]

Was it really a decision or a lack of one? Please think about this, dear brother.

p.s. Maimonides-The RMB"M says, that in order to find G-d, you have to look for him. And then you will find him; through His creations and actions, and will come to love Him. Have a good day

[region1111]

NesanelS:

There's no evidence for any sort of god. Those so called "creations" were created by evolution.

[NesanelS]

I have learnt from my rabbis that one is not allowed to argue with an arguer. the reason is simple: Our rabbis explain that one who is arguing is doing so only out of excuse - so as not to have to do the Mitzvos. However, if you are truly positive and are looking for the truth, I will consider you not wicked. Thus A) Have you tried to ssearch for a truth; what meaning is there to the world otherwise? If there's no meaning, what is there?? B) B) Do you know the specialty and happiness of Mitzvot?

[region1111]

"I have learnt from my rabbis that one is not allowed to argue with an arguer"

Learn to think for yourself, don't just believe what your authority figures tells you. Everything should be examined critically, and you're allowed to argue with whoever you want.

"one who is arguing is doing so only out of excuse- so as not to have to do the Mitzvos"

A sad attempt to get people to obey without thinking.

"Have you tried to search for a truth"

Any search for truth will involve facts, not religion.

[NesanelS]

Whoah! It's nice to hear you responding; so you're not so stone hearted.

B) What you are saying that we shodul look into things is exactly what I was saying - from Maimonidies - that that is how one finds G-d. You see, He has hidden Himself, and one has to look for Him. This is both the respect of the person - that he gets it through his effort, and, also, if we copuld see G-d,we would die; as the verse says.

B) Arguing can only physically be done with a seacher!

C) All facts-design, actions!

[NesanelS]

What I wrote about 'wicked' - was based on what you may know about the Four Sons in teh Passover Hagadda. The Torah speaks of 4 sons; One is wise; 1 wicked, 1 simple and 1 doesn't know to ask. The wise son asks about he commandments and we teach him. The wicked says 'what do we need this for'/ To him it says 'knock out his teeth - in other words, tell him to be quiet and say that if not for this [Passover offering] we would not have gone out of Egypt. Thus we elarn, that one must be inquisitive.

[NesanelS]

p.s. Here is another nice point. Please undersatnd that I am not trying to make an argument and I understand that every person is entitled to make decisions. I am only trying to help you get a mitzvah - and that is the one of knowing that there is a G-d! (if this is surprising -0 it's actually one of the commandments!). So I heard from a rabbi, in a videom, where someone asked if he can prove G-d. He started by saying that 'you admit that you didn't create yourself... somethings to think about!

[region1111]

you should read "the god delusion" by richard dawkins. great book

[NesanelS]

I dont know what he says and I certainly dont plan on reading it. The reason is, because when someone has an agenda, he can say anything. If the title of the book were looking for the truth I would consider it. Even then, one has to know if the searcher was truly searching or if he was searching for a truth which would laden him with excuses to fulfill his agenda.

[NesanelS]

Now, I will end with one practical thing. Do you think he has read the book Cell Phones; Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age by Dr. George Carlo; the greatest epidemiologist in the US? Do you think he has read Sweet Deception (about artificial sweeteners) by Dr. Joseph Mercola; one of the greatest natural-health professionals in the US? My dear friend; I have! For the holy Torah commands us You shall guard your life very much. And so I am putting in the effort to. Have a great day!

[region1111]

You don't plan on reading it because you don't want your religious security blanket taken away.

Of course he has an agenda, we all do. If he had called his book "looking for the truth" he'd still have the same agenda but he'd be hiding it.

As for artificial sweeteners and cell phones.. nice try changing the subject. We're talking about god and religion, not that other stuff.

[NesanelS]

My dear brother (and I assume you're Jewish),

A) Regarding what you it may be perceived as religion being a 'security blanket', this is only when one does not really know what it is. Moreover, what is the 'atheist' attitude all about? Is it not something which is a perceived good feeling? People say they are uncomfortable with religion; whether because of requirements or similar. But the truth is it is **the** way of life. Welcome!

B) A religious Jew has no agenda - just life!

C) Health=G-d!

[region1111]

1.) I am ethnically jewish but I don't practice the religion.

2.) I try to see the world for what it is. That means no god, and all religion is man-made.

3.) You can live your life however you want.

4.) Your agenda is glorifying and propagating religious myths. (Look those words up.)

[NesanelS]

I woudl like to ask you:

If religion were man-made.

What are the trees?

[NesanelS]

p.s. My dear friend, about what the rabbi said about 'believing that one did not create himself. Let me elaborate. He continued: Therefore, it must be that someone who came before you created you. Who is this? One will say his parents, of course. However, the question is; does one remember being created? Quite frankly not! Thus, how does one know that his parents are actually them? Well, because they raised him up from day one and he looks like them and has similar voice (and DNA and all).

[region1111]

You're ultra orthodox and you've never picked up a book on science in your life, have you?

My dearest friend, I demand you read a proper (non-religious) book on science and evolution, and then get back to me.

[NesanelS]

Youre responding quick but that Heaven I've done enough exercise to keep up!

1) Ultra Orthodox means doing more than the letter of the law.

And I have learnt science and graduated high-school and with a diploma signed by President Clinton (or his computer - but it has his signature). (The main mistake I made was confusing left and right (thinking of ones-self or looking at another person). But I want to tell you, these discussions are very special and I appreciate the opportunity to answer!

[region1111]

You've never read a book on evolution, correct? Time to get one and read it.

[NesanelS]

One more point: Of course the books did not speak about evolution but it was a good book to the point in all matters.

Respiratory, circulatory, nervous and digestive systems etc.

But think about it: Is the question of evolution a scientific one or religious one? I have learnt that there are actually many scientists who believe that the world has a creator and do not hold of big-bang etc. theories. It is important to know this. If ink spilt; what are the chances of getting a letter 'A'; a word?

[region1111]

Fail. I'm not continuing this conversation until you read a book on evolution.

(PS: Only junk scientists argue that evolution's not true. no respectable scientist would be caught dead with that opinion.)

[NesanelS]

My dear brother: if I would make this statement; what would you say? But the truth is as follows: What you are saying essentially is that it bothers you how I can answer if I have not been exposed to exactly what you have. Thus you should know and will be happy to that a great rabbi did. His name is Rabbi Avigdor Miller of blessed memory. With the permission of great rabbis, he would read these books in the bathroom so as to be able to explain to people! It is called: Rejoice O Youth. Enjoy

[NesanelS]

p.s. Forgive me for being sharp in the first line. what I should have said was that I understand how you feel - you are not happy that I am answering from a 'religious-only' standpoint. Thus...

p.s. It seems that the photos may be fake (as per the comments there). Look; I am willing to admit an error (OK; I have more time than my father to research things; that is intended with showing something to a friend and here, you, dear brother. p.s. Any religious Jew will tell you the things that I am!!

[NesanelS]

I would say that my prayer has improved since this conversation.

Also, there are many points to look into. For some lihthearted points in this, search Youtube for 'The aethiest Convention in LA.

[NesanelS]

Here is the important point about faith in Judaism.

1) Our key faith comes from Mt. Sinai where we all were in public. This is passed down from generation to generation; I'm sorry if you have not received it yet.

2) If one is looking for a proof, there is as follows: One of the commandments is Shmitta - to rest the land in Israel every 7th yr. Now, it says there will be blessing in 6th to provide for the 7th. This is evident each yr in Israel. This is something only The Divine could have said.

[elyseshulamit]

@region1111 Well this is fun. I happen to be the bride in the video. I'd like to throw out there that I'm currently finishing up my B.S. and completed all the standard pre-med curriculum. Maybe you shouldn't make such assumptions about us "ultra-orthodox" people.

[region1111]

@elyseshulamit well congratulations. You're a lovely bride too.

How do you find the time to do school with all your observance?

[elyseshulamit]

@region1111 Thanks. I just had to work a bit harder than my classmates to make up for the time that I can't do work. But it is far from impossible as long as you're motivated.

[brco2003]

@elyseshulamit But still, are you actually considering a career and not staying home all day?

[gorsky93]

@region1111 one more point...ok lets say that there was supposedly a big bang and wallah a world was formed...but who created the first particle, the first molecule.. think about it also just by looking at nature one can come to believe in Gd, did u ever study the life of a spider, it makes perfect white cotton like webs ,they can do it all day long..nonstop did anyone teach this wonderful spider how to spin a web? did he have to learn it? think about ...

[gorsky93]

@gorsky93 there must have been a creator that designed a creature like this and there is soooo much more that can be discussed on the topis of nature btw next, just by studying the human body, just by exploring how everything works so perfectly and smoothly (blood can be transferred upwards , but that goes against gravity wat happened) our body is a miraculous and an amazing creation that G-d had designed .

[RedlineMMA]

@gorsky93

please at least have a basic understanding of science before you start to criticize it.

Evolution is as much a fact as anything we know in the scientific world. It proves conclusively that were shaped by purely natural forces.

[gorsky93]

@RedlineMMA how can evolution be a fact if its a theory??

[gorsky93]

@region1111 hii i just want to point out that : being religious doesnt mean u dont have fun>..as a matter of fact u have loads and loads of fun

[papatuchus]

Mazal Tov!!
