It's not the same as graffiti in America. This is a crime of hate.

It pushing over grave stones a "crime of hate", or just kids doing it to get a rile out of the adults?

Doesn't warrant a story? Nonsense. If it had been the other way around -- if non-Jews had done this to a synagogue -- it would be the top headline on even paper in the west. (And, of course, the criminals would be severely punished.)

The difference here that Christian Americans ( and even American Jews and Buddhist ) would immediately think of forgiveness and what would make someone so full of hate act out against religion. Some Americans might even laugh it off knowing how unimportant words are--its the heart -soul that is important and would pray for this person to find God.

We know that even if a person is full of hate and spewing words against God we have no right to take their life. We believe that since only God can give life only God should take life-- and a person needs time to find their path. In the Muslim 3rd world spray painting the same about Mohammad would mean death or war ( even if it were a child that has down syndrome--middle east news 8/2012)

BTW: in Judaism Jesus is considered one of the greatest profits.

"Price Tag' incidents are so-called because the extremists believe their attacks are extracting a price from Palestinians for their action in evicting settlers." THis willl undoubtedly deter the Palestinians from their 2,0000 year strugggle for a homeland. Now if only some Palestinian would send a rocket to Israel that wold discourage the Jews in their 2,000 year batttle with the Palestinians. THese people are real problem solvers.

Evangelical Christians here in US are brainwashed into blind support for Israel while the Jews simply laugh at their gullibility. Most orthodox Jews consider Christianity simply an abomination.

Allah made it happen.

As a Jew, I find this kind of hooliganism disgusting. This is not the doing of a thoughtful person.

Well when they set those gravestones on fire like they did with the front door to this monastery I would call it more than a prank...Arson comes to mind

Our American TV evangelists concur. I know you meant "prophets," but your choice of misspelling has to be one of the most apropos I've ever seen.

At least say he was a great ape and be accurate. As we all currently are.

Kallie,

Which America are you living in? Hate crimes are a huge deal here- think about the reverse- anti-semite graffiti on a Synagogue or anti-Muslim graffiti on a Mosque. Anytime a minority is targeted- whether its Christians in the Middle East, or Jews/Muslims in the West, it needs to be addressed quickly. This is how the Nazi movement began. While I personally take no offense to this, since I'm not Christian and do believe in Darwinian Evolution, this is an affront to Christians, especially Catholics. Moreover, this was (supposedly) done by a group targeting Palestinians (Muslims), so why go after Christians?

Inbred Crkr,

I suppose you support the Nazi's too? Why don't you spend a couple years in Iran before you decide who needs to be irradicated and who the parasite is. Hopefully you are a Muslim- your time there will be much more enjoyable.

FlatIron,

Really? The whole point of this "Price Tag" group is the fact that they ARENT able to settle where they want, because the land is being given to the Palestinians.

But let's look at it this way: When the Jews moved in (moved back in according to many historical and religious documents), the Palestinians were permitted to stay and instead they ended up causing trouble. Why can't they allow the Jews to live within Palestinian borders likewise? As long as they agree to be governed by the Palestinians, what really is the problem? Are they hoarding rockets and digging tunnels to undermine the Palestinian state? And if they were, what right have the Palestinians to complain? Furthermore, if the Palestinians are so obsessed about a homeland, they wouldn't mind where it was, and the other Muslim nations would be happy to donate some land for the just cause. But that's not really what this is all about, now is it? Muslims only take Palestinians' side because they are also Muslim. If the Palestinias were up against ANY other Muslim group, they'd be hung out to dry.

Two words to look up, Goyim, Hasbara. This type of hatred coming from orthodox believers is not surprising for those whose eyes are wide open. Hate knows no bounds and all cultural/religious purists must see themselves as superior, it is endemic to the belief system, god told me so.

Travelinfotog,

Learn your history- many documents agree Jesus DID in fact exist. Sorry, you failed.

The real question is: what importance was he? Last prophet? Son of God (which I always found funny, since according to the same Bible, humans are all God's children, and therefore, every male born is the son of God)?, etc.

Furthermore, look at the BILLIONS that the US has spent on Muslim countries- like Pakistan, which it in turns uses AGAINST US TROOPS themselves!!

As for why to back Israel and not Palestine, well, the answer is simple: Muslims don't know peace. They know enslavement. If you are a Muslim of their sect, you aren't worthy of life. In fact, in many Muslim countries, there is a tax for being non-Muslim. If you are killed for a violation of Muslim law, and later found innocent, your family gets 1/10th the money that they would if you were a Muslim as a way of an apology.

Ever seen a Jewish terrorist attack America? Didn't think so. How about any Christian country? Didn't think so either.

Travel - That little sermon of yours was almost as good as Billy Graham

Shawn1999, you are correct. The reality of who Jesus was is likely the only issue at this point. Much mistified and with tons of myth surrounding him, he was at least just a teacher to people and most likely a schizophrenic with dillusions of grandeur...much like some of these poor fools on street corners in cities babbling along about gods word. Whatever the case may be, clearly the dude gained traction and existed and is therefore revered by christians. Whatever importance he really was is up to scholars and those who choose to believe in him...and shame on the fool who takes any of this (the vandalism or the beliefs) seriously. For goodness sake people...I know religion is the excuse for different groups to justify their belief in their own superiotity and then to slaughter/kill others but perhaps we could move on...just putting that out there.

And actually Shawn, consider if you were told to move out (in many cases Palestinians living in the area now occupied by modern Israel were evicted from their homes) so that a native group (aborigine, Am. Indian, etc) could move back in to what they considered their sacred home. You'd be pissed. Now, we can debate the way it was done all day long and the truth in each groups claims but let's not minimize the trauma of having you home taken from you or being forced to live with a group of people, now basically in charge when you had been only years before. It would suck and it does suck and the world is full of injustice. Taking one side over another simply because one side seems less appealing is not fair.

Shawn, there have not been Jewish terrorist attacks in the US. But there sure have been in Palestine!

@ Shawn1.. What "documents" agree jesus existed? Facts remain that there is NOTHING left of the so called event. Seriously Shawn if you think that jesus existed, as I once was led to beLIEve, there where is the evidence? No pieces of the cross, no crown of thorns, no nails. If this being was so revered and reviled and eventually killed for being who it was, wouldn't those masses who followed this charlatan have kept something to further the cause? But alas nothing. The Catholic Crutch parades around the shroud of Turin, which has been proven to be from the 14th century.

Shawn you FAIL because you buy into the lies. Actually Shawn there is some evidence that 9-11 was started from within America at the hands of jewish people. http://jewishcrimenetworkdid911.blogspot.com/http://jewishcrimenetworkdid911.blogspot.com/

I'm sure that someone on these posts will blame it on Palestinians. It's far more convenient than admitting that Israel is a @!$%#ty little country with the world's biggest chip on it's shoulders and the world's worst food.

That's as generalizing as saying the palestinians are worthless pigs who are too stupid to be able to even spell the word 'monkey'.

In fact Israel was founded by terrorists. The British finally ceded Palestine to the Jewish occupants after suffering from years of terrorist attacks.

In Deir Yassin, a village of about 1,000, roughly 250 people were massacred by elements of the Irgun and the Stern Gang. Menachem Begin was quoted as saying (although possibly not apprised of how bad it was) "accept my congratulations on this splendid conquest … As at Deir Yassin, so everywhere, we will attack and smite the enemy." This understandably caused widespread panic among the Palestinians, and roughly 650,000 left their land, and emigrated as refugees. Those people, and their descendants, feel the Jews effectively stole their land.

Just sayin'...

I astonished at how few actually understand Scripture and Christianity. Ignorance spews.

Yes, we Christians support Israel because from within the Hebrew history and ethnic race sprang our Messiah. If I wasn't a Christian, I'd be a Jew. Some state that Jews mock Christians in Israel. Whatever. Jews are still under blessing/curse (just look at Hitler / WWII to get the recent picture). Just look at anti-Semitism today. God warned Israel over and over and over. Read Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nahum, etc. Jews had hardened hearts over hundreds of years because they would not repent. The promise of the Messiah was foretold even before this because God has His plan unfold. Jesus. Thank God for His Son. But Jews are still His chosen ethnic race, and you don't mess with them. Every nation that has, has paid a dear price. Just like today. It's prophecy, and it's coming "in the Valley of Decision" war is coming- the arab/islamics will attack Israel. Israel, small, tiny Israel, will be victorious. Americans need to continue to support Israel. If we turn our backs on them....just look at Scripture and history...

"THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD."

What type of story would it be if it were a mosque and the name Mohammed was substituted for the name Jesus? What would the fallout be?

Mormons say that Jesus had 3 wives and numerous children. How does that square with your religion? I think all religions are nuts but am surprised at the evangelicals sudden outpour of enthusiasm for a Mormon presidential candidate when they have always called mormonism a cult.

What's worse for "man" than religion and currency? They will be our downfall. They ruin what could be a beautiful paradise for all. If we could only focus on taking care of each other and the earth that feeds us then we would know true unity. Otherwise it's going to be the same old same old downward spiral until some religous freak with too much power and money claiming god or whatever told him to send us all to heaven. Sweet huh?

Ever seen a Jewish terrorist attack ...?

Yes:

U.S.S. Liberty

The Lavon Affair

The King David Hotel Bombing

The Semiramis Hotel Bombing

the Jewish Defense League

The Stern Gang

etc.

Severed Head is correct if it was not for Jewish Terrosist/Freedom Fighters there would not be a Nation of Israel.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, and it is impossible to have rational conversation with radical people of faith whether they be Christian, Muslims, Jews, etc... They never can get pass the fact that their blind faith leads them to stupid conversations of holy land and my God can beat up your God mentality of their path is the only path to salvation.

It is ashame that people cannot see the universe as holy land and everyone as God's children rather than having such blind faith in their religon of choice, when every major religon was created by man in the first place.

The question should be in the 21st century is there really a place for religous states whether it be Islam, Juddaism, Christian or any other.

BTW: in Judaism Jesus is considered one of the greatest profits.

Correction: In Islam, Jesus is considered one of the greatest prophets. Judaism takes no stance on Jesus, so there are a variety of views in the Jewish communities. But most Jewish rabbis would say that if there were a real historical, Jewish Jesus who claimed to be the divine son of God and the messiah, that he would have been both a false prophet and a heretic.

The question should be in the 21st century is there really a place for religous states whether it be Islam, Juddaism, Christian or any other.

It's a question that should answer itself.

Sadly, it does not.

Things are getting better however. It doesn't seem that way, but it is. Information is spreading through younger generations like a wildfire. In a 100 years, the West will be vastly secular (as much of Europe already is). Some states will have to come to grips with the fact that their gods are being replaced by reason and logic. Some states will fail, others may destroy themselves.

What remains, will be a new world where logic is favored over faith.

Then, maybe we can go about the business of creating a global society based on mutual respect and tolerance. One that cares more about the initiatives of science and human progress than superstition and fear.

KALLIE, you don't know what the heck you are writing about!

Jesus is loathed in Judaism. In fact, "Jesus" is really "J-E-S-U-S" - a Hebrew acronym abbreviating the phrase, "He whose name shall not be mentioned." His real name is "Yeshua." You are confusing Islam with Judaism. Muslims consider him a great profit. Jews consider him a self-aggrandizing troublemaker.

Also, Muslims forgive. Some people in each of all the faiths or of no faiths forgive. Just as some people in each or of no faiths do not forgive.

This was a hate crime by Orthodox or Ultra-Orthodox Jews, pure and simple. They have been terrorizing Christians, Muslims, Reform Jews and people of other faiths for years in the area. They burn down/vandalize Palestinian shops Sunday through Friday, resting on Saturday, the Sabbath. Saturday is the only day the Palestinians can operate their shops, because the local Jews have imposed Sunday-through-Friday curfews on Palestinians in the occupied territories, even though it is the local Jews that do not lawfully live there. They are violent and behave exactly like Brown Shirts, one of the biggest of ironies in the Middle East. And the IDF by and large let these illegal settlers do as they please.

You've been programmed by your local clergy.

Big deal.

travelinfotog.....very good! best post of the day! a sane voice against the clamor of 'bible-thumpers'..!!

Evangelical Christians here in US are brainwashed into blind support for Israel while the Jews simply laugh at their gullibility. Most orthodox Jews consider Christianity simply an abomination.

MaX 108: Most atheists in the US are also brainwashed into believing the Palestinians as being there rightfully. Blind support goes both ways. As for jews considering christianity as an abomination, that may be true, however most orthodox jews would rather have christians support them, then people like yourselves.

Travelinfotog: Your conspiracy theories shows just how much hatred you have towards jews in general. I suggest you look into the history of jihad, especially the date of Sept. 11 ( not 2001), before you make your analysis.

Shawn, you are calling out people but you are very misinformed.

1) The land was occupied by Palestinians or their ancestors since before Jews existed. Pales is a God that predates Judaism by about two thousand years.

2) European Jews flooded into the are with the birth of Zionism, starting around 1880ish. While the first immigrants came peacefully, later waves brought violence and sought to push the Palestinians out of the area. Later, Jews began bombing campaigns against local Christians and Muslims. Bus bombing was invented by Jews. Hotels were also a preferred target.

Later, after Israel was formed, Israelis would occasionally attack American interests, such as their unprovoked attack on the U.S.S. Liberty, killing dozens of sailors, and their stealing of U.S. defense tech, such as our nuclear weapons tech. This despite Israel receiving more aid from the U.S. than all of the other nations receiving U.S. COMBINED!

3) Less than 5% of the Jews living in Israel of of Semitic origin. The rest are of European origin, and most of those of Russian or Ukrainian descent, their ancestors having converted to Judaism around 1200 A.D.

4) The deal offered by the new Israelis in 1947-8 to the Palestinians was this: "Since there are nine of you for every one of us, if you want to stay here, you will count as 1/10th of a person and thus receive 1/10th of a vote. You will obey our laws. If you want your own place, you need to leave, even though your ancestors settled this land 5000+ years ago. We will control the flow of fresh water to your new land. And we will control your access to the sea. If you want to export or import, you will have to go through us." Yup, that about sums it up. Would you take that deal with a smile on your face?

Why do I, a long-time atheist/ex-Christian, with no connections to Islam or Judaism, know more about this than the apparently Jewish person and the practicing Christian? Could it be that the B.S. they have bought from their respective leaders plays a part in the relentless hostilities in the region? We should mind so much except they have dragged the rest of us into their mire.

Why do I, a long-time atheist/ex-Christian, with no connections to Islam or Judaism, know more about this than the apparently Jewish person and the practicing Christian?

Because religious individuals seldom to never really take the time to learn about their faith (and its true origins).

I'd be willing to bet if every single Christian sat down and read their Bibles cover-to-cover ... two-thirds would instantly become atheists.

My wife was raised Christian. A few years back, we were at a painfully boring wedding. I pulled out a Bible from the pew in front of me and began showing her some of the more colorful versus about slavery and genocide. I've never seen her eyes get so big in my life ... she simply never knew what was contained in the faith her family blindly handed down to her.

Religions are like software agreements ... no one reads the fine print. They just scroll down to the bottom and click: I Agree!

are you stupid Chris... Israel has been around for over 3000 years(under a different name). It was taken over several times by both the arabs and by Rome... Get your history lessons!

"The FOOL hath said in his Heart, There is NO GOD!"

"The FOOL hath said in his Heart, There is NO GOD!"

... writes the creators of that particular god.

That's pretty brilliant logic, eh?

@Unhappy - I'm not an atheist - I follow the ways of my ancestors as I'm part Cherokee - and I don't give a hoot about the religious barbarism and hatred that originates from Middle East. Your religions are a curse on humanity. I don't take sides in your quarrels - Palestinians are just as barbarous and full of hate as Jews.

Yeah, we can send all our religious @!$%#s over there too and they can all have one big theological battle royal. Good riddance!

Chad,

I do actually read some of the first paragraphs of software agreements, lol. Just in case it says something like "If you click "I agree" then you are an idiot".

But, that line certainly refers to most believers of religion. It's a blind, ignorant, uneducated following that, for the most part, don't care about the true history and facts involved in it's conception. Between that and the shady, 2nd, 3rd and 4th hand references at best. Then add in the constant reinterpretations by "leaders" of said faiths. Scary really.

The problem is, to me, that it has become part of who people are in this life. So to remove that is to shake their foundations and belief system. People don't like to let go of what they think is real. You know, to them, lol.

The problem is, to me, that it has become part of who people are in this life. So to remove that is to shake their foundations and belief system.

Absolutely, and I agree.

Religions are interwoven into the fabric of the human condition.

The problem is that they have long served their purpose and are not merely a vestigial remnant of cultural inheritance. In a world with very real capabilities of mass destruction and mutual extinction concerns, it keeps becoming easier and easier for a deranged few to wreak havoc on the many.

Religions are completely incompatible with modernity.

Part of the problem is that so many have this misconception that if we somehow loose the superstitious and the supernatural ... that we also forfeit the numinous and the mysterious.

The reality is (that reality) is so much more awe-inspiring and mysterious than anything that our feeble religions could have ever imagined. That's why religions are unsustainable propositions. That's why they are failing all over the world. They've failed us morally, spiritually, philosophically, etc. On the surface, where cosmetic benefits once looked promising ... the emptiness of our religions shine very bright. Where we once preferred a 1st century discussion on morality and ethics based on scriptures and revelation, we now prefer a 21st century discussion based on millenia of trial/error and shared human experience. {That's a good thing}

Technology and the Internet are making messages and information that only a few could access just a short time ago, now a global phenomenon. "Non-believers" are one of the fastest growing demographics in the world. That will only become greater as time goes on.

Things may get worse before they get better. But there is a new enlightenment coming.

Hard to say if islam is a great a scourge as christianity or not. A lot like trying to decide which pile of trash smells worse.

Hard to say if islam is a great a scourge as christianity or not. A lot like trying to decide which pile of trash smells worse.

The biggest difference between Christianity and Islam is that the former had the direct benefit of massive influence and exposure from the Age of the Enlightenment, whereas Islam was largely isolated from this cultural phenomenon.

@gwarth2 -- Seriously? It's an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly.

I wonder if this has anything to do with that 'restored' painting in Italy, lol. They were calling it Behold Monkey or whatever.

what if whoever did this really likes and respects monkeys? and its meant as a compliment? it could be a love crime.

boatloads of trolls out in force today. So sad. I pity your tiny little lives.

Gwarth,

EPIC FAIL

1) Per your Bible, only God can give forgiveness, and only God can damn a soul to hell (which is why you aren't allowed to say things like "God damn you", which you just did by stating God will send them and many others to hell)

2) You cannot claim to know God's mind or his will, only do what he commands

Therefore, you have condemned yourself (I don't believe in your Bible, so I'm not breaking any rules here).

I will laugh myself hysterical if I find that that God has forgiven those who commited this crime while comdemning you to eternity in hell. That would be so funny to learn

Anti-Christs , Atheists and the anti-everything posters above are like little piles of dog crap on the sidewalk.

I must say, I haven't had the experience of drying up and blowing away. Turds, properly grounded in reason and rational thought, just don't do that.

BK,

nice christian attitude. Whatever happened to turn the other cheek and love thy neighbor?

BK,

Your post shows how little you care for your fellow human and why religion is a thorn in the side of civilization. You somehow think you are superior because your little book told you so. And then you spew your hateful rhetoric thinking you are the righteous one who will be going to Paradise.

If your god does exist, I hope it is not as small-minded as many of its followers.

BK must be a satan worshipper, cause that was some true hate there.

lmao...

BK, cmon,,,

Get on your knees, take a swig of wine and put your lord in your mouth, just like you always do.

Makes you feel better now, doesnt it?

Christians are such good cock suckers, just like jesus likes it.

satan, jesus... same thing

Tranquil Nihilist,

Ouch... but just to add a bit of insult to the important injury you're attempting to inflict, Mary was human.

Oh and might I further add; Augustus, Agdistis, Attis, Adonis, Buddha, Dionysus, Hercules, Korybas, Krishna, Mithras, Osiris, Perseus, Romulus, Remus, Tammuz, and Zoroaster were all demigods also born of a virgin.

No, it's not Islamic subterfuge.

In fact, this is at least the third incident of a Christian relic or site being vandalized by Israeli Jews in the past several months. The Israeli government arrested the previous vandals.

Its about the same as saying you have to believe in Jesus to be saved- just as arrogant (the "only we are right and the rest of you will rot in hell" speech)

And what of those who have been mis treating others for decades, centuries and millenia?

But at least Jews don't decapitate 17 people for mixed gender dancing (nothing dirty, other than the other gender being present).

There's no problem with religion. Just those who are in control of it and have corrupted it with the greed and lust for power.

Personnelly I'd rather fight beside an Israllie before having you by my side or anywheres near me.

$3.1 Billion/yr in aid and they hate us as much as the mulims do. We should he;lp Iran get rid of these parasites then we can eliminate Iran and take thier oil.

6dogs dont let the door hit you on your way out to Israel.

Yes, after all, every day we see instances of Israelis using the money we give them, and the guns we supply them to turn and shoot those who trained them. Oh wait, those are Muslim Afghans.... Let's see- aside from the USS Liberty... oh that's right, Israelis have NEVER attacked us...

6dogs, you are a f#cking idiot with a poor grasp of grammar and spelling and an even poorer grasp of history.

You kidding? Have you ever been to Israel? They LOVE Americans

You are compairing apples to oranges. They're are people on this Planet that take things seriously. This, so called prank, as you call it, is not taken lightly. You call knocking over tomb stones a prank. I call it total lack of any respect for anyone or anything. A childish prank is one thing but there is a point at which it crosses the line. It is not a prank it is desicration.

Is it any different than kids pushing over grave stones just for the act of doing it - to get a rile out of the adults?

I guess you missed the part where they set the door on fire.

While it maybe a prank (and I pray that it is, for anything more is spark in a tinder box), the perpetrators need to learn that there is a line that doesn't get crossed- and they crossed it. Just like those who mobbed a Muslim kid (though the Muslim kid did open his mouth to spark the tinder box), they need to be punished accordingly and shown one simple fact: Its NOT funny.

And fire. Don't forget the fire.

Who put them in the refugee camp and made them refugees ?

Nice try sammy, but this has nothing to do with Palestinians; it's apparently Jews mad at the decision of their own court, and by some twisted logic they have taken out their anger at Christians.

sammy, do you get your history from TBN? Quit dry humping the religion channel and learn some real history. It's in the library if you choose to look.

Another in a long line of sheep who beLIEves in LIES.. The babble was written by people who would have most likely been illiterate back then.

Lies Lies tell me sweet little lies. GBA.. You are the reason why I left the christian faith over 2 decades ago. You can't talk without spouting off scripture or the supposed word of a god or whatever. its all a lie. Its all a sham.

GBA, Religions were created to destroy and control man. Until 2012 years there was beLIEf in a singular god, unless you count The Pharaoh Akhenaten who actually believed in 1 god, and that was centuries well before that babble and virginal birth allegedly occurred. But that Pharaoh Akhenaten was soon stricken from the record and labeled a heretic for going against the traditional beliefs of many gods, such as the Greeks, Egyptian, Sumerians, etc all believed. No mono-theistic god. Nothing singular. Thinking that 1 being could have created all this is complete and utter BULL@!$%#. I think and tend to accept that the Greeks & Egyptians had it right in worshiping the sun, it is after all the life-force of OUR solar system. Since a reasonable person knows and also accepts that we cannot, under any circumstance be alone in this infinite universe. To think with such a narrow mind that YOUR chrsitian god created everything before you, me and everyone, that he'd create a total opposite group of religious people who didn't like god or jesus? WTF is wrong with your religion GBA?

I'll say it again, Religions are flawed because man who created them are fatally flawed. IF god created the edicts for man, why aren't there traces of what god wrote? I mean where are your "10 commandments?" where is the Ark of the Covenant? Where is that fictional Noahs ark? You know the one where he'd have to put 2 of EVERY creature on its massive boat? Why would Noah need an ark for fish or birds? What about the termites? Ants? Roaches? Mosquitos?

Seriously anyone who has ever read the bible, and I have after spending the first 6 years of my educational life going to private christian schools, and still believes whats written in is 100% fact and the way you should carry out life, is pathetic. The babble is full of hatred of anyone who doesn't bow to god or jesus. The babble is full of lies, contradictions. Here is one. In the beginning, god created all this, Adam and Eve from Adams' rib, etc, yada yada yada, eh? But in the new testament, umm god suddenly needed a "host" for his "first born?" son Jesus? Wouldn't Adam have to be the first son of God? Just trying to get some clarification from you religious know-it-alls.. The Catholic Crutch and all crutches won't answer that one.

Lets see what else. Why would god create the devil if god is so almighty and perfect? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of YOUR christian god for this perfect world and its perfect people?

Right on the money.

It's refreshing knowing someone else gets it.

Indeed, travelinfotog, it's an incredible proposition. A book whose various authors are known yet the readers claim it was written by another. A book people believe because the book tells them to.

Do these same people believe when Steven King writes "believe me..."? Do they think the Sherlock Holmes stories were written by Doctor Watson? After all, the books say they were.

What's really sad, Tom and Travel, is that you are not quoting things correctly from the Bible, and it is really simple to see that you don't understand some basic biblical concepts very well. I'll just point out to you one little hint about your sophistry concerning the virgin birth versus the creation of Adam: One is a creation and the other is a birth. One is the Son of Man, the other is the Son of God as defined by scripture. As it happens, we are both, again as defined by scripture.

It is also very apparent that you are or were hurt by a church and remain angry. I completely understand that, but you should blame that on religion and not on God. And please, don't expect Catholics to be a good choice to learn about scripture from - they are among the worst. They trade absolution for loyalty and re-write scripture to suit themselves.

Virgin Birth, Talking Snakes, and gathering every speicies on the planet and putting it on a boat so they do not get killed by a pissed off God. Really??? Rather than starting the bible with in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, it would have been better if it started with ONCE UPON A TIME...

I would not go as far to so say there is not a God, nor that Jesus was the son of God taken in the same context that each and every one of us is a son and daughter of God.

Believe what you want...

Why would god create the devil if god is so almighty and perfect? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of YOUR christian god for this perfect world and its perfect people?

If you dont have a devil, you dont need a christ to ass-lick for god.

Ahh come on, Bill. It's time for team Jesus to get in the game. We can't take these insults lying down, I say we invade the west bank and depose them.

No, let Isreal do that. We got too many wars going now. Yeah, the Arab political and religious leaders offer no hope for the future for their people except hate and war. Why move on when you can live in medieval times. But, that's their choice. I say we should move on. Let Isreal take care of that. Before they go down, they'll take out the entire Middle East, maybe not a bad thing. Don't know, Don't care. We have too many wars going now that cost one billion dollars a week. Time to come home and pay the bills.

First of all Kallie, Jesus is not a profit. Second 6dogs. Israel does not respect anyone's religion. Look at the Israelies that are spitting on Catholic monks everyday when they go to work or to the market in Israel. Third jw101 Israel whines more than anyone else in the world. Look at Israel whining about the clothing store in India named Hitler.

Bill, you appear to be running off half-cocked. This story has NOTHING to do with Arabs, Palestinians or Muslims. The people who painted the graffiti are Jewish! Read the article!

Oh, sorry. You are right. I just read the headlines. I am as guilty as all the people in the US who read headlines or watch news snippets. Most could not be bothered with getting more than one viewpoint, checking facts, or balancing viewpoints. This is why I have little good to say about each political party in the US. My choice comes down to who I dislike or who I think is lying the least. But, my apologies. I just read the headline and assumed and we all know what that means: ass out of...me

Wholly smolly! Someone made a mistake and admitted it! Bill, you are truly un-American!! LOL

(Muslims believe Jesus to be a great prophet, and thus would not likely write such a thing)

I don't think they were as concerned about the graffitti as they were about the front door being set ablaze.

Ya Johnbarker, you forget the part about the arson? lol.. typical zionist apologist.

??? they set the door on fire, on a stone/brick structure...

They have no intentions of burning the place down, just draw attention to the graffiti.

Burning a door is still arson. I guess the stars painted on jews homes and businesses in Nazi Germany were just graffiti like you say hypocrite.

The jews are parasites who hate the uS as much as any muslim does. We should be helping Iran get rid of these leeches before we get rid of Iran and take thier oil. What has Israel ever done for us to be worthy of $3.1 Billion/yr? NOTHING.

LMAO .. there was NO god, No jesus. Its all fictional just like Utopia and the bible. Its a joke.. Keith, god and religions were created by men who wanted to control people.. Nothing more, nothing less. Sad that most people can't think or talk today without referencing a bible passage or mentioning god or jesus. Americans have truly lost their way.

I'm waiting for the first moron to blame Obama for this. Its bound to happen. The idiots on here supporting that terrorist state Israel are the same who hate blacks and our President.

The jews are parasites who hate the uS as much as any muslim does

We have enough hate in this country we do not need to import it, Just look at some of these responses and the hate comes from both those who believe in god and those who do not.

The jews are parasites who hate the uS as much as any muslim does. We should be helping Iran get rid of these leeches before we get rid of Iran and take thier oil. What has Israel ever done for us to be worthy of $3.1 Billion/yr? NOTHING.

It isnt a surprise that your name here is Inbred.

Original inhabitants: OK: All Americans EXCEPT for the American Indians, Leave. Go back to Europe, Africa, Asia, China. Same for South America. Everyone, Spaniards, French, German, Chinese, Africans, go back to where to came from and let the native Indians have their land back. ISN"T THIS ARGUMENT not only getting a little bit tired BUT isn't it time to let this 70 year old grudge go AND isn like an old grudge, say a 70 year grudge, getting a little old. Isn't blaming Isreal for the Palestinian leadership offering no hope for the future of their people getting a little old too?

"the original inhabitants of this land"? Really? Only if you discount the original inhabitants who the Jews committed genocide against because "g_d" had "promised" them the land (that was already inhabited by people who didn't worship the same "g_d").

Arguments that revolve around the principle of "I was here first", while more substantial than "God promised this land to me", are good for claiming basketball courts during recess. Not so good for determining the residency and property rights of thousands of people.

I agree. Very often, when the news (local, national, world) report such an incident, a "rash" of similar acts soon follow.

Some hate filled Jew did this and it needs to be known they are nothing but parasites that will move on once they've sucked the blood out of Americas and left us in ruins. When has Israel ever done anything but take from the US?

Good one. :) Maybe they do believe in Jesus Christ after all.

No, Bill, don't you know about the monkey ascension. He sits at the right hand of Dad monkey awaiting the day when he will return to earth in the simian rapture. Gosh, man, get your facts straight.

So the Trinity is really that hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil thing?

if god is everywhere and part of everything.....then the statement is not completely false

I thought Jesus was a raptor? Israeli extremists really need to get their memes straight.

Remember the kid that did that in China and got a Public Caning for his efforts? I think we should do the same the here.

Singapore you bafoon.. It was Singapore NOT China for vandalism.

Jesus Christ 6dogs is dumb as dirt

Not much difference between any extremists, regardless of the type.

...or extremist christians

We sahould kill them both
