No, Israel targets terrorists who embed themselves in civilian populations. These terrorists often do not wear uniforms. It is not the deliberate murd...

Trump is the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the Presidency and has consistently labeled Hamas and its supporters as wicked. Those who understa...

You obsess over Trump. I obsess over the anti-American, anti-Israeli hate mobs destroying our universities, indoctrinating our youth, and spreading Je...

Because he is pro-Israel, pro-bitcoin, and pro-Tesla. Because he deports those who come here on visas and spit in the face of the country that welcome...

I'm no fan of Ford. Nor am I overly familiar with his career. Yet he surely took financial risk and effectively led men below him. He also compensated...

I associate dark femininity more with Lady MacBeth - relentless manipulation of MacBeth & challenging his manhood, unbridled ambition, and complete la...

Among women? Never heard that one. I was under the impression that honest cooperation is entirely feasible among both sexes.

We can change all the bathrooms to gender neutral. We can make locker rooms gender neutral too. We can get rid of all gendered spaces (biologically-ba...

How do you feel about them in women's locker rooms? Or restrooms? Maybe it would matter how long they've been transitioning and what their results are...

I'm reading: Antiquities of the Jews - Josephus Book of Jubilees - Jewish Annotated Apocrypha Antiquities of the Jews is a must read for anyone intere...

In Palestine? What is Palestine to you? So you support the war but want it less vicious?

Javi, I would never be able to fall asleep knowing that there are toxic elements among us. Perhaps we need an Inquisition into the matter? :chin:

Oh no, and who are those toxic individuals so we can do something about them?

This problem is intractable. You'd honestly want Trump to legislate on this? It's too thorny. Let the passable transwomen go into the women's restroom...

The prohibition against eating from the tree of knowledge is indeed puzzling. I think though, that we can zoom out, and say that the eden story presen...

I think the commandments are good in-themselves for Israel to follow and they generally bring about good results. Mosaic law is particular to Israel. ...

Did you forget about locker rooms? Among others. Then you have bathrooms. And prisons. And if we're talking military service, which group do transgend...

The reason for this is that the overton window has been blown open, especially on cultural issues. So sometimes you can't "come together" and you just...

2 of the 3 attacked charging stations. That could lead to people being stranded when their charge dies. It hurts everyone and wastes electricity and t...

As a Tesla driver, I'm satisfied that Trump is taking appropriate action against these psychos. Their crimes are so senseless. And when someone target...

Just the physical. Bad behavior ruins relationships. Impulsive amoral men make bad friends and cannot be trusted around partners. You can behave like ...

Or maybe we could just call it the nature of reality. I wasn't thinking of taxes. I had in mind the idea that the "moral" thing to do is to maximize t...

Following the commandments generally does yield good results. Those who stray generally pay a price and bad deeds can carry a nasty ripple effect. It ...

So it's worth noting that while in the Isaac binding story Abraham exhibits this stringent faith, in the Sodom & Gomorrah story he does bargain with G...

Could be something, could be nothing. An excellent answer to an obnoxious gentile; they only need to behave themselves and avoid idolatry. I'm sure af...

How we understand the doing -- the action -- is tied to the thoughts and feelings of the doer.

Men can be seen as little Gods in a sense. Sure. I certainly acknowledge that from a human perspective what happened to Job is terrifying and troubles...

Too many threads indeed. My point is, one can always blame the God character and think how things should have gone, but in doing so one simply takes o...

You were blaming God. If you want to blame Abraham or Isaac they are humans so they can bear blame.

This isn't between man and man -- that we can judge. It's between man and God. Let's say that there is some force out there. If a man dies young, has ...

I don't think it's heretical. It's natural to retroject our own 21st century moral views to biblical characters. In Abraham's day though, and continui...

Job is unique in that we can't situate it within any time or place unlike virtually all the other books. I've long considered it thought experiment/th...

The gathering of the animals onto the ark also happens in Gilgamesh iirc. Is your issue with God or Abraham? How do you know that it's unjustified? Li...

It's not the Isaac story either. I don't see how I'm anymore offtopic than you are in mentioning the Isaac story. Noah also trusts in God.

I find it funny that you take serious issue with the Isaac story -- a story where no one dies, yet seem to ignore entirely the deluge where countless ...

I agree that the flood story is derived from the Gilgamesh story. There are too many parallels to ignore. You insist that all align to your judgment. ...

I have intuitions. I make judgments, for sure. Consider that only a few pages before this mess with Abraham and Isaac God floods the world and kills c...

"Man is by nature unable to want God to be God. Indeed, he himself wants to be God, and does not want God to be God." - Luther I get it. You, like man...

You seem mad for some reason. As if my opinion on tariffs has any impact whatsoever. Even if I were against the tariffs, I would still be pro-Trump. I...

Devotion is a personal matter, but if one hasn't actually read the whole book then I don't know one does it. Christianity is good with this, but with ...

I suppose, but I don't know whether it needs to be. I always like to know how old the prayers or psalms I'm reading are and it'll bug me if I don't kn...

I highly recommend Nahum Sarna's work on Genesis if you're interested in exploring a little further. It left me convinced that many of these Genesis s...

The land of Palestine doesn't really flood, but Mesopotamia does flood which is why I believe the account is originally Mesopotamian. It's also mentio...

Canada was already imposing tariffs on us so I believe Trump's tariffs were retaliatory. I also love that Trump is embracing digital currencies. I don...

You make reasonable points, but I do love what Trump is doing here in the US. My more immediate concern is American elite universities and dealing wit...

Not if they lived in an Arab section of Palestine. Or refused Israeli citizenship.

If "Palestine" refers to the geography, the physical land, then those born in Israel are born in Palestine. If "Palestine" is a political entity then ...

Has the HRC posted anything on the abduction and murder of Israeli families? Or of the sexual abuse and torture of Israeli hostages? How dare Israel p...

He's a non-citizen who provided material support for a foreign terrorist organization. Hopefully the first of many more to come. Non-citizens can abso...
