If you were to analyze the events of the Qur'an or Bhagavad Gita and try to compare them to archaeological and documented history, would you treat it any differently? Would you accept them as "innocent until proven guilty" or would you approach it with due skepticism? Why treat your holy texts differently, especially when all real-world evidence reaffirms reality we've seen in every other instance we've encountered? If your book were true, wouldn't it prove itself "innocent?"

towards the end of this video, the narrator was telling the story as if he was certain, whereas the story was just an analysis based on assumptions.

What nation of people were scattered among the nations to serve their enemies?

[Yisraelis1]

Nothing but lies...everytime they find something they try to go against what the scriptures say. Yahweh knows the truth because he created everything and he has spoken of the beginning and the end. everything that has happen happened and everything that will is to come. The law that Yahweh gave the Israelites thru Moses will be the law for the world. Israel was a slave and was saved...then placed under the covanant. The gift and the curse....obey the law or be scattered among the nations.

I find it absolutely amazing that so many ignoramuses watch a program like this and immediately accept it as true. This shows a desire that you have to ignore the realities of the world around you and its origins because of a deep seeded desire to not have to dig deeply and explore the other side of the story. You are the same people who accept evolution as fact because you are too lazy to actually dig deep and look at the other side of the story. Laziness will be your undoing. Take time:STUDY

...poured diesel onto the flames...)

But yeah, seriously. Supporting Israel over Palestine in this conflict would be analagous to siding w/Germany over Poland in '39!

You should really search for a documentary here on YouTube called "Peace, Propaganda, & the Promised Land," you'll see. They're from the same group who produced "Outfoxed." I warn you, tho...it's all very true, very shocking, and VERY uncensored...by the time it's done, you'll be SO PISSED at Israel for acting...well.

...and oppression. The Palestinians, desperate for a way out, yet trapped like dogs in a cage, shot dead if they come within 200 yards of the perimeter fence, can only turn to terrorism to fight back.

Simply put: Israel's problems aren't with "Fundamentalist Muslim groups..." it's itself! Just as fundamentalist Islam wasn't our problem in Iraq...it was that we invaded a sovereign nation who saw us a CONQUERERS rather than LIBERATORS! (and our "counter-insurgency" strategy only poure

Now, furthermore, the current conflict in Israel is NOT a religious one! It's a _political_ struggle *OVER LAND*! The Israelis want to annex *all* of Palestine, even illegally, and for the past *40 YEARS* the Palestinians have been brutally, systematically oppressed by the Israeli government, which has devolved into an extreme right-wing fascist regime which aims to control _its_ people (AND ours) thru blatant propaganda and the Palestianian people thru military force, blockade, and

Dude, YOU'RE FUCKIN' NUTS! Even the institution who WROTE the fucking rapture (the Catholic Church) has even said that the "Raptrure" and the book of Revelation is nothing but one WAY too overly religious man's nightmare put onto paper!

I mean, come on! You aren't fucking stupid enough to actually believe that shit, ARE YOU???

[frankmjenkins]

Because they did. Abraham is a mythic figure, but the Jewish people are obviously a real people. How hard is this to believe? Do you think the existence of peoples throughout history have depended on the existence of the mythic figures they invented in their ancient mythologies? If so, that would mean no people have ever existed (your too funny) :)
