Without the fear of karma or hell there would be a f**kload more drive-by shootings.

Consider the example of Chinese Communism. It declared that 'religion is poison,' and sought its extermination. Tibet was a happy and peaceful Buddhist nation before the Chinese came. The Chinese destroyed that, and it was not due to religion (unless Communism qualifies as a religion). Partly it was economics (Tibet had fertile land), partly it was military (a platform to attack or defend against India), and partly it was racist (Tibetans are smaller and darker than Chinese).

Intolerance, greed and lack of compassion for one's fellow humans are the usual culprits for causing wars. Sometimes it's religious intolerance. Sometimes not.

Bev - It depend where in America. In New york city, or mid - northern NJ, you'll find the least mellow Jews on the planet, but in Los Angeles and other places west, they are as mellow as they can get....

It all depends on where you are. But I don't get this... they try to feed you 'cause they think you're small? That makes no sense...

Oh yeah, and no, there are no Jews who want to kill you or raise a hend to you, for the Jewish bible preaches peace and serenity... (I'd like to see the Jews act accordingly) but only after their "messiah" comes will they have the nerve to go killing people because they're Amalek.

you know I have a big problem with you generalizing a whole race. There is no such thing as all the members of one race being one way and all the members of another race being the other way. The Jewish people are neither worse or better than anyone else. I do not think that discrimination is a justifable reaction.

you do realise that the more people get uptight about christains and jews the more I believe that the bible is true, simply because you are proving it to be right. BEG

Ladydyke--I was not seriously making a generalization about all Jews. I was gently poking fun at Colonel's reasoning--I hope he was not offended. I never implied that discrimination is justifiable. I just wanted to make Colonel say that all Jews are not the same and that you cannot generalize.

Also, the only person getting "uptight" about Chirstians and Jews is Colonel, and he says he's Jewish, so I'd take that with a grain of salt. I think he is trying to critique religion in general, not just those two religions.

Colon--about people trying to feed me: they just happen to be Jewish. They used to work with me, and they kept bringing in cakes and bagels and things and telling me "You must eat--look at you, you're so little." I am not actually "little" so much as short. The cake would only make me round, not tall--but you try telling that to a woman with baked goods in her hand.

hi what is the meening of life,
i think monty python but there may be a reason for that

oh for gods sake do you really think he likes being talked about behind his back
god i meen................if he exiswts.......or she.....or it..................or a phenomenal function of the decimal system

d-42.
I don't think it is possible to talk behind god's back. If god is all-knowing, (s)he knows what you said. If god's spirit is in all of us, it knows what we say and do (and feel...ect). If god responds to names (names being very sensitive in many religions, (s)he shows up when we start typing "god". BTW Have you read Small Gods?

well actually I was talking to the colonel720 Because I thought he was discriminating against them. I did not know he was jewish.

I am sorry

I am sorry too. No hard feelings.
