I was just having a peaceful and polite conversation with @Athena. What exactly did I say to offend you for you to start attacking me???
May 07, 2021 at 10:30
Yeah, talking about yourself, I presume.
May 07, 2021 at 10:27
Here's how the word "cabal" is used in normal everyday English language: “Cabal of climate sceptics to descend on UK parliament” - Guardian “In us we ...

Nation of Islam or Boko Haram, huh? Or, maybe Taliban?
May 07, 2021 at 00:13
Well, I think it was quite obvious that you're of the far-Left and usually the far-Left is associated with extremists and fanatics. But I wasn't refus...

More like smoking yourself out from what I see ....

In the federal elections of 1871 the Social Democratic Workers’ Party led by Karl Liebknecht (Marx’s ally and collaborator in the International) recei...

What do you mean??? Engels in the Introduction openly admits that the Manifesto had no influence. Most copies were seized by the police and very few w...
May 06, 2021 at 23:42
So basically, I can't speak because I'm "anti-Semitic" and I can't answer accusations of "anti-Semitism" either, because I'm "defensive"! Sounds a bit...
May 06, 2021 at 23:27
Here's the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) definition for you: cabal a. A secret or private intrigue of a sinister character formed by a small body of...
May 06, 2021 at 23:18
Why do you feel the need of "clarifying my position" then? My position is that financial and industrial interests have too much influence on governmen...
May 06, 2021 at 22:52
You're doing quite a bit of projecting there aren't you? Since when are the Rockefellers, the Morgans, the Clintons, Obama and Biden "Jews"??? And it ...
May 06, 2021 at 22:45
By the same logic, the SPD's opposition to the Communists does make sense and it can't be called "betrayal". Unless you're advocating Communism, i.e.,...
May 06, 2021 at 22:40
Nineteenth Century? We're talking about the 1900s here, i.e. Twentieth Century, when Communists in Germany only mustered 10% of the vote.
May 06, 2021 at 22:36
So what? That isn't a crime. Jewish religion also changed over time. Jews took concepts from others like Egyptians and Babylonians, and Christians too...
May 06, 2021 at 22:17
What "defensiveness"? You call people "anti-semites" for no reason and then accuse them of being "defensive"? You agree with me that a cabal or "Prope...
May 06, 2021 at 22:03
I think I understand what you're trying to say. However, the Communists (KPD) had just above 10% of the vote, so they were a minority and the Spartaci...
May 06, 2021 at 21:52
I thought you might. But why support a radical minority against the will of the majority?
May 06, 2021 at 20:17
Clarifying what exactly? You come up with that stuff yourself and then blame it on me? What next?
May 06, 2021 at 20:14
You're only imagining that. You need to familiarize yourself with Christianity before you make unexamined assumptions like that. In Christianity Jesus...
May 06, 2021 at 20:10
Well, I'm not American. I called them "cabal" because that's the normal word for them in English. And if the Rockefellers and the Morgans are "Semites...
May 06, 2021 at 20:01
I only mentioned those that are regarded by the left as "heroes" and "saviors" which of course they aren't. If you think otherwise, that's fine by me.
May 06, 2021 at 19:48
So, what you are saying is that the SPD should have allied itself with the Communists (who wanted to overthrow the government) against the military? I...
May 06, 2021 at 19:44
Correct. The big bankers and industrialists already had strong influence on the government and its economic and foreign policies for which purpose the...
May 06, 2021 at 19:35
How did the SPD "betray" the Communists? Most German Socialists were Social Democrats not Communists and the Communists wanted to impose Marxism of th...
May 06, 2021 at 18:59
Well, if you really imagine that I didn't know you might come up with that, you are quite wrong. To begin with, it is generally acknowledged that the ...
May 06, 2021 at 18:37
And, of course, the verses from the Hebrew Bible you're referring to, just don't exist. That's why you can't quote them.
May 06, 2021 at 15:00
Sorry, but the misunderstanding is entirely yours. You're wrong again as on all your other points. The Bible says very clearly that Jesus was the only...
May 06, 2021 at 14:56
You're far too generous there. I'd would use a slightly different description. In any case, they're words that people tend to resort to when they've l...
May 06, 2021 at 14:36
Logic can serve as a basis or start for philosophical inquiry even into ontological issues. But if others introduce arguments like "woo" and "shit" or...
May 06, 2021 at 14:32
You don't expect him/her to know that, do you?
May 06, 2021 at 13:41
They already believe in God and they agree with the two commandments. That's good enough to me.
May 06, 2021 at 13:40
Really? How late is this then? “Nathaniel answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God” – John 1:49. They called him "Rabbi" AND "Son o...
May 06, 2021 at 13:37
I've no idea what you're talking about. I never said Muslims and Jews are strong supporters of Christianity, only that those I've spoken to agree with...
May 06, 2021 at 13:29
Well, there are some who seem to think that belief in reincarnation is "irrational nonsense" while failing to show that this is the case. They seem to...
May 06, 2021 at 12:36
That's a very big "IF" there. You don't really expect these people to have an "open mind"? Obviously, they're basing their arguments on unexamined ass...
May 06, 2021 at 11:36
The "third camp" or "Third Way" are the Fabians. Unfortunately, they are just another form of totalitarian communism. G B Shaw who was one of their le...
May 06, 2021 at 10:09
So, you finally got it. Nirvana, like reincarnation, is something that you need to experience to know exactly what it is. You may choose to dismiss it...
May 06, 2021 at 10:01
Your belief is one thing. Facts are another. I don't believe in "proselytization", whatever that is, at all. People convert to Christianity only if Go...
May 06, 2021 at 09:50
Well, people addressed Jesus with the title of “Rabbi” as a sign of respect and because he was teaching them as part of his mission as instructed by G...
May 06, 2021 at 09:37
lol You do make me laugh. According to Christianity Jesus was the Son of God, the Word of God, etc. Where are the sources that say "Jewish rabbi"??? Y...
May 05, 2021 at 23:34
Well, if you're a Jew then tell us what tradition you're representing and what your position is. Then we can discuss. Not a problem for me at all, on ...
May 05, 2021 at 23:24
Where does it say he was a "Jewish rabbi"??? First time I hear of that.
May 05, 2021 at 23:19
You must have done a lot of thinking to come up with that. Don't overexert yourself.
May 05, 2021 at 23:16
Well, God's omniscience and omnipotence is the only thing we can be certain of. Of course man has some freedom of will but that is necessarily limited...
May 05, 2021 at 23:13
The materialists of course. Are you feeling guilty or are you just upset? Plus, you still haven't told us who you believe it is that is reincarnated.
May 05, 2021 at 22:33
Well, I must say it wouldn't be bad to see a Native American US President for a change but for some strange reason it looks like other minorities are ...
May 05, 2021 at 22:30
You're making that up, aren't you? I never excluded anything. What my whole statement means is that the primary concern is for his or her spiritual sa...
May 05, 2021 at 22:15
You're joking, right? When we say "we", we normally mean the whole human being, i.e. body and soul. As such, we "have a soul". If we were a disembodie...
