Thinking About Judaism...

[cynical_girl77]

Ugh I'm reading this article in the Post about the kind of comeback that Jewish culture has been making with young people. I think it's bullshit - note, father, that they speak of the comeback of Jewish CULTURE, not Jewish observance. None of these people's parents are making them go to shul because these kids that are "cool Jews" don't actually

This is because the countless Gods that countless people pray to DON'T EXIST

Ahh, u believe that, I believe that. But they exist to the people who pray to them, which makes them exist, because nothing exists until we say it does.

nothing exists until we say it does.
Yeah, but just because we say it exists doesn't mean that it does. I could say that unicorns exist, but that doesn't make it true.

but just because we say it doesn't exist doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. For all we know god could exist, but we can prove he doesn't with all three of riles' existance laws. that doesn't mean he isn't existing.

Israel is spelled with the a before the e. I just thought you might want to know. :p

you're actually doing something mildly IMPORTANT in peer mediation?!

NOT FAIR.

all we got to do was argue about oral sex in the oval office..

not BAD... but.. you know.

I agree. Orlando Bloom is not only less sexy, but has far less charisma and acting ability.

FHWHAGADS. or however you spell it.

the whole stupid fairy tale causes bloodshed and language and hatred that wouldn't be there without these hostile units we call religions.

So do you think that there would be no war if there were no religion?
And what language does it cause that is so awful?
And I think you could find plenty of hatred that has nothing to do with religion.

I'm by no means saying that we wouldn't have war if it weren't for religion, I'm just saying that we'd have a lot less bloodshed, killing. Fewer murders, fewer suicide bombers, fewer political prisoners. And by language I meant cursing and yelling at each other. And I know that not all hatred has to do with religion. Religion does cause a lot of hatred, though.

People that are full of hate are going to find an outlet.

I could easily say that if it weren't for Leftism there would be a lot less bloodshed in the world (i use the Cultural Revolution of China, The gulags of the USSR, the Bolshevik Revolution, The present state of the People's Republic of Korea, and the killing fields of Cambodia as examples).

People use religion as an excuse for their hate, but that doesn't make it the cause.
