@ImagesByDavid Well, let's see what we're up against. You drop by my channel unannounced and uninvited, and begin to discuss topics that you don't wish to discuss on your own channel. Despite your willingness to make videos about those topics. When I carry on the conversation on my channel, you only deem to reply once every few weeks, and still you accuse *me* of disrespect. You ignore historical evidence. You also bring up NI when it has no relationship to our discussion, belying your nationalism that you imagine having a semi-famous ancestor gives your opinions any weight. Good luck, David. Practise your rhetoric elsewhere, I'm not interested in either your messianic or nationalist views.

The Land of the Middle East was never referred to as Palestine by the inhabitants prior to 70ad. When the occupiers the Romans renamed it so. So you cant expect a Judean to be called a Palestinian. Its like calling the good people of the North British when theyre Irish.

I dont debate heavy topics on my Youtube Channel. You should respect my wishes.

@ImagebyDavid "I do not put heavy topics on my Photographic Channel." What do you mean by Heavy Topics? You have videos on the politics of the Middle East, Northern Ireland, Civilian Protests against George Bush, and government initiatives. You cover protests against the Queen of England's visit to Ireland and urban decay. None of which can be considered 'Light Topics'. I think you mean that you don't like it when people visit your page and disagree with you. But, as I pointed out, you came 'here' first. I just gave you the courtesy of a reply. If that is not a trait you possess then communication between us cannot be constructive. That'd be a pity because we are on opposite sides of some interesting topics, which is normally a good place to start, in my experience.

@ImagesByDavid It's been a week, you may have forgotten, but it was you who came to my channel and left a comment without referring to anything I had said or written. I replied on your channel, but you did not approve the comment, which left me at a disadvantage when you responded looking for clarification, because I could not refer to the comment you wanted me to clarify. Now, as for your query. Please put it coherently in a PM and I'll happily address it in private with you.

You are more interested in seeing your comment on my channel than you are than making your point? Do you always require an audience? I do not put heavy topics on my Photographic Channel. Where the Biblical Jews made their Homeland in that Region. They never referred to as Palestine. It was not officially named Palestine after the Occupiers and Invaders drove the Jews from their Homeland.

@ImagesByDavid And you ask: 'what does that have to do with GOD creating the Universe?' Well, nothing. But seeing as you censor your channel comments, I can't refer to my original post. I think that all I said was that even accepting the possibility that the univers was created (which is highly unlikely and unnecessary given our current understanding), that still leaves a great leap to say that any particular god out of the thousands mankind have created was the one responsible. Especially one so ill-conceived and ignorant as the one depicted in the bible.

@ImagesByDavid Actually, the first mention of 'Palaistinê' comes from Herodotus in the 5th century BCE, though earlier variations do exist. The region of Palestine known as Judea when the Romans arrived in the 1st century BCE was subdivided by them into three toparchies: Judea, Samaria and Galilee. It wasn't until 132CE, after the Bar Kokhba revolt, that Hadrian renamed the whole as Syria Palaestina. It is a well documented time, and we have this from Ovid, Pliny the Elder, and Plutarch among others. And Philo and Josephus besides, even though they are less reliable.because of a fondness for reporting rumour as fact.

there were no Palestinians in 1st Century in the Middle East. It was called Judea and Samaria until the Roman occupiers renamed it in 70ad. But you cant call a Native American a Texan now can you? But what does that have to do with GOD creating the Universe?

and sure I believe that the Universe was created and thus has a Creator! Praise Jesus!
