you will have to ask Israel to get the answer for that

I can't believe as an Afghan-American, in pre-9/11 days my ex Paki friends used to defend the Taliban... I'm sure now that their people are suffering, the Taliban doesn't seem so wonderful now

ensured that the plan was laid to rest. if Israel is so concerned about Pakistan and wishes it well then why does it keep bombarding its people with images of Pakistani missiles. But the whole argument can be laid to rest by this quote from Israeli P.M Ben Gurion published in the Jewish chronicle, 1967 "The world Zionist movement should not be neglectful of the dangers of Pakistan to it. And Pakistan now should be its first target, for this ideological State is a threat to our existence. "

your comment cracked me up. Israel has never been able to digest the fact that there is a nation 170 million strong, a nuclear power whose people view her as the oppressors of the Palestinians. in fact the Israelis in connivance with the Indians made an elaborate plan in the 80s to destroy Pakistan's nuclear facility but India's reluctance to allow Israeli pilots to use Indian bases out of fear of Pakistani reprisal coupled with a reminder by the Pakistanis that they were not Iraqis

God is real, I am not acting like God has a will - he does. For the sake of argument I am willing to argue with you on this point, but this is not the argument at hand. If God were erased from our collective conciousness -what good would occur? Philisophy is the pursuit of Truth - I don't think I would as ignorant as you to say that no answers have come from philosophy. Religion is a political organization.

Except that he IS NOT REAL... stop acting like he has will and intent or intelligence or any of that shit. Actually read your stupid bible & justify all the people "god" said should be slaughtered. Not the kind of reason I ascribe to. So I don't blame god anyways, i blame the people and the institutions, but if the idea was erased from our collective consciousness maybe some benefit could come of it. Philosophy is questions w/o answers. Religion is answers w/o questions.

Yet God appeals to reason. Is there any doubt that the teachings of say, Jesus, are not at the zenith of reason. There are far wiser philosophers than I who have stated such a fact. Humans will act foolishly and often do so in the name of God, but that is no reason to blame God or to say that God is not real. God advocates for reason, even though sometimes his followers become blinded by the political ambitions of religous institutions.

I never said it was God's fault... it can't be cuz he's imaginary. It's the fault of the faithful since they put that before reason.

I am sorry but I think that the reason why we have obtained weapons of mass destruction and why we have placed ourselves in a corner as a civilization is not due to religion. In fact its quite the opposite. God teaches us to avoid Greed, Lust, Envy - etc. Humans have ignored God's requests and have formulated a globalized suicidal civilization that is fueled by the concepts that God told us to deem as evil. We are at fault - not God. Religion is a political structure - it is not faith
