Well, perhaps if you look at Istanbul, but anywhere east of that and the whole population is full of them. I didn't say her party was fanatical, just heard that she was a very hard-hearted Christian. Sure, living in America a liberal does equate with socialism. You see, a conservative is one...

then yes, all people should be equal under the law - no privileges! even for executives or congress!!

And religious ones too (which was what T. van Gogh's murder was about - not political) yet there exists a mentality in Turkey that such religious fervor is a virtue, while most Western people see it as a vice. New word for you today: hypothetical I was under the impression that Angela Murkel...

What Jefferson was talking about was equal rights in the eyes of the law and liberty - not physical qualities.

Very mixed feelings on this issue. The European Union will expand, whether we want it to or not, but it's going to have some problems. One problem is European disputes, which fortunately have been very mild to non-existant here recently, except the Greece-Turkey-Cyprus dilemma. Another problem...

Are you a nitwit? Of course Muslims don't think Jesus was God. As a matter of fact, neither did the author of Matthew, Mark, or Luke (and maybe John). The "Trinity" was invented until later. And do Jews believe that Jesus is God? Of course not! So God of Christianity isn't the same as the God...

The difference, I think, is balancing idealism with pragmatism. If they try to kill me, kill them. If not, don't worry about it. Personally, I believe the world will be a far better place once all people realize that god is dead.

Mon ami, Clouseau, Truer words are rarely spoken, and mostly forgotten. Let not it be the case with those. I will remember them. They give me...a change of heart...well, further humanitarian. They are the words of an idealist, and I see you grew into that stage - few are so privileged...

If accompanied with these God-like powers, I might accept. With my mental and physical body at its peak (let's keep it at 25), never able to be damaged, no feeling pain, what about breathing? What if the Earth gets blown up and I'm alone in space? How will I function without oxygen? In short...

What do you mean by immortality? I would reject all immortality on principle unless some sort of "god" powers were involved. Like if my hand was cut off, would it grow back? Could it even be cut off? If I was thrown into a volcano, would I merely burn in agony forever? If I was given some sort...

I presume you're referring to me, but that shouldn't count since I long ago tore down that arguement, so it was in my memory. I've dealt with it a number of times and many boards, so you using it here was really not a surprise. Oh, and you must also not like me since I think it is alright to be...

btw - here's where he's cutting and pasting from: http://www.crisismagazine.com/april2002/cover.htm I knew it as soon as he called himself a medieval Christian scholar.

Eheu, I hate for this to be my first substantial post, but this is an atrocity. Fools, I tell you, fools. For the original question - it depends. You see, along time ago, Jews were polytheistic, they believed in many gods. One of those gods was Yahweh, the other, El. Yahweh was the favored god...
