[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The Jews (Page 1 of 6)

There is a famous story in which the Kaiser asks Bismarck, "Can you prove the existence of God?” Bismarck replies, "The Jews, your majesty. The Jews.” No group in history has had such a lasting influence on the world and such a long career in the face of so many attempts to destroy them. |

That doesn't really prove the existence of any God. Just because people are persecuted, doesn't prove the existence of their God. Many people of different religions have been persecuted. Pagans have been persecuted but they still exist.
- Post-Holocaust Jewish theology has generally moved away from a personal God in favor of a "natural/Spinoza's God" (which is a far cry from the anthropomorphic Biblical God) - It was Christians (who worship the same God) who've historically persecuted Jews. - The problem of evil still persists. An all-loving, all-knowing, omnipresent God watched people suffer tremendously and did nothing. There's always the "suffering is just part of God's plan" answer, but that doesn't really fly with an all-loving, all-knowing, omnipresent God that watches children get raped (who have no freewill), is child rape also part of this all-loving God's plan? He just watched, fully capable of stopping it but instead did nothing. Apparently he intervenes with people's kneepain though. - There's no good objective evidence for any God(s)(esses). |

They re the apple of God's eye. Nuff said. /thread Well, hmmm they wrote The Bible dude.

In The Bible he doesnt seem like a very honest guy. |

What shocks me so much is that with their history of facing persecution and violence from just about every other group on this planet...the American Liberal Jew so willing and happily licks the boot of .gov and wants us all to be disarmed.
I would think they would be the strongest proponents of our 2A rights. |

Quoted:
They killed Jesus you know. The sins of Mankind killed Jesus. There's no original sin without a literal Biblical Adam & Eve. A literal Biblical Adam & Eve is not scientifically accurate (DNA shows this). A mitochondrial Eve is a far cry from the literal Biblical Eve. Even that mitochrondrial Eve shows that we share a common ancestor with apes (and that we're part of the Great Apes genetic family). That's not even getting into the immorality of being responsible for someone else's sin. People will cry foul about them being responsible for their grand-father being a slave-owner but somehow are responsible that some other dude ate an apple before they were even born. |

I cannot fully understand why there is so much evil. If there is no God, then we are nothing more than animals and animals kill each other's babies and do violent things to each other as a normal part of life and death. What God gave man was something that the animals cannot have. That is a personal relationship with him. God tells us that believing in Him will not make the world perfect. It will simply give us hope and that eventually we will have eternity with him. Free will means that we have the choice not to act like animals. We can act out of love. God is the source of all love. We are created in God's image. God is spirit. What differs us from animals is that we are imbued with a divine spirit that animals can not have. It comes at a price. God gives us a choice. Be one of his faithful children and no matter what, your eternity will be fine. If you reject him, you will perish just like any other animal but be stuck thinking about it for eternity. That is an eternity of complete consciousness and absolute isolation from anything good. |

That is an eternity of complete consciousness and absolute isolation from anything good. Faith does exist without good objective evidence. Multiple religions believe things based on faith and come to mutually contradictory conclusions. Faith is not a good way to truth. The universe doesn't owe you a meaning. It could just be that life is meaningless. I'm in favor of the Existentialist view (no inherent meaning, people define the meaning in their own lives). You can find meaning in your life by helping others. You can find meaning by living in the moment (Camus/Myth of Sisyphus). With God, there's no such thing as virtue. God either commands things that are already objectively virtuous (in which case morality lies outside of God), or he commands things to being virtuous (in which case, anything can be considered virtuous depending on his dictate). If God can't make rape moral (or if it's not "in his nature"), then morality lies outside of God. We're in fact animals. We know this scientifically. Evolution is known to the highest degree/confidence-level in science. Before the whole "evolution is a theory" crowd, Germ theory is also a theory. A theory is one of the highest things in science. Describing the way things are, doesn't denote the way things should be. This also goes into the naturalistic fallacy. There's no good objective evidence for a "divine spirit" within us. People tried to test for such a spirit when Science and Religion were more mixed. This "spirit" then moved to the more supernatural realm. There's no freewill with an all-knowing God that created you. He knows exactly what you'll do before he created you and then he creates you knowing this. There's no freewill in such a scenario. Religions have historically used such carrot/stick scenarios to keep people believing their specific religion. Faith (believing in things without good objective evidence) is not a good way to truth. |

Quoted: Quoted: What shocks me so much is that with their history of facing persecution and violence from just about every other group on this planet...the American Liberal Jew so willing and happily licks the boot of .gov and wants us all to be disarmed. I would think they would be the strongest proponents of our 2A rights. I don't know why people think this. Judaism is a religion or culture with a strong social justice vein....even more so than Catholicism and the culture surrounding it. Jews are overwhelmingly left wing, and have disproportionately been at the foundation of left wing ideologies or prominent members of said movements. Nothing is going to change that, and it trumps every other consideration. Jews are also often drawn into professions where government action, manipulation, or influence would benefit their positions and careers, so why would they be anti-government? I imagine Jews are second only to American blacks when it comes to their dependability to vote Democrat by large margins. It is very unfortunate. However, I once remember reading that it is innate to their religion but I can't find the part of the book or recall the details. It's been years. It was in Will Durant's Civilization |

Wasn't there a thread where someone said hasidic jews hissed at him before
I want to say extorsis or whatever his name is, the ex cop. I don't have beef with the jews, except for maybe the chabad (to the bone). They would always ask me if I was jewish. I can imagine how much an actual jew hates to run into them
