What a pathetic pre-enlightenment Panglossian response

In other words "All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds"

A religious fundamentalist commenting on other religious fundamentalist

Same coin - different side

You can argue the toss about the Irish governments involvement all you like

My point is there was a porous border between the UK and Ireland - Arms flowed across, the IRA were given Safe harbour and carried out raids across it

We however, did not indiscriminatly bomb them to the Stone Age

That old cop out "God knows what's best" and it's "God's will."

Well seeing as he's a made up non entity, I do see flaws in using those lines to solve wars.

Yep, And as I have previously pointed out, the same anti humanity and morally bankrupt philosophy that suicide bombers are taught, giving them the strength to strap their murderous belt on

So I guess my instinct as a Christian is non-violence and that is what Christ taught and would teach. However, the Jews aren't Christians and they are concerned with their earthly life and how that is threatened by the Islamists. I don't see this in terms of Jews versus Muslims, I see this as a modern liberal democracy versus the retrograde death cult of Hamas. As a political animal and a pragmatist and given the choice, and it is about taking sides, I wish to see the maintenance of the Israeli state and the extirpation of the Islamists. As a Christian the best I can do is pray that God's will be done and only He knows what that is.
I suggest you leave your god alone for a while and look at the human aspect of what you are supporting.

Yep... God stands by and watches his creation slaughter one when according to almost every religion out there he has the power to stop it all and also he knew it is going to happen. Frankly people slaughtering one another is gods own will. How effed up is that?

Nope, although i share many sentiments with atheists.

I am a Muslim who is fed up of gods inactions in this world which makes anyone with half a brain question a lot of things. God could fix the worlds problems by coming in everyones dream and making some sort of statement. We would all wake up having had the same dream and that would be the end to most of the worlds violence. Of course the Americans would still be trying to find excuses to get their fingers where the natural resources are at.

Plus i support humanity over anything. I don't like bullies at all.

Be they ISIS killing Christians in Iraq or Allied Forces bringing 'freedom' to Iraq. The excuses people make for Israels actions is an indication how low humanity has stooped.

You know very well i view the human species as a parasite on the planet earth that mother nature / god has let have a free reign for far too long.

Thanks for your response, Shaid. I'm finding the two points above difficult to reconcile, would you mind elucidating a little?

I don't remember rockets being fired from Ireland by the the Irish armed forces.

There was no porous border between The Republic and Northern Ireland, it was controlled with checkpoints etc.

As for 'safe harbour', can you prove this?

The Irish government never had a stated goal of the ethnic cleansing of Britain.

Careful you don't do your back in with the stretch involved in this comparison.

So should those that believe in fairies annihilate those that are fairly sure they don't exist?

Should those that believe in ghosts wage war against the fairy believers? Maybe the ghosties should kick those damn fairy believers out of their houses? If a few die on the way, who cares?

Yes, this is how retarded religious wars are.

I have no problem with Jewish people whatsoever. I do have an issue with genocide and persecution though. Incidentally when did you become an authority on Zionism and it's ideals?

Jews are neither a race nor an ethnicity. The establishment of Israel is no more just than a group of (insert religion of choice) from various corners of the world begging,stealing and seizing land in someone else's country.

Jews are clearly not a race. Race is a genetic distinction, and refers to people with shared ancestry and shared genetic traits. You can't change your race; it's in your DNA.

Every ethnicity/race is constructed. Jewishness is no less real than being black or being Muslim or being Aboriginal Australian.

Then all people who can roll their tongue are one race lol.

Geneticists agree that there is as much genetic variation within 'races' as across all over humanity.
