Where is Cowswithguns? I thought she would be udderly delighted with my apology. Must be out to pasture.
Again, it is ironic that the very vehicles which claim a loving God, a forgiving God are the cause of so much strife.

Aren't we in the trust tree, thingey?
I had a long talk to an Afghani mate yesterday, a muslim by birth, but not by practise. He is an unashamed jew hater, his right of course, just as many jews hate muslims.
We had a long discussion\argument on lots of issues, but there was one really funny interlude. It began when he asked why, if jews were god's "chosen people", did this god not intervene in the holocaust. After all, he said, hitler was only one man, surely their god was more powerful than that? He then went on to talk about the jewish "homeland", and asked why, if they were god's chosen people, did he give them some of the worst land in the world. With all the beautiful, green productive land around the world, why there? He then said god was probably trying to lead them somewhere nice, but these stupid people kept getting lost in the desert, after 40 years of this, god finally gave up and said, here, here it is, you've arrived, and left them to it.
Well it was funny at the time anyway.

Well, remember God has not always been in good temper. He did kill every human being and animal with the great flood. The holocaust was a triviality compared to that. It wasn't a rash decision either as the ark took 104 years to construct.Originally posted by Billy_Dean@20 September 2003 - 05:32

If the land is worthless, why are the Palestineans fighting for the same plot?

Two sides, fighting to the death, over Gods which don't exist and land that is totally worthless.
Reminds me of myself trying to pick up ugly chicks in the bar parking lot after closing time- a lose/lose proposition.

Well Rikk, your Afghani friend appears to have an extensive knowledge of the Torah, maybe, being a muslim, he should read a little more in his Koran, then he would never make such jokes.Originally posted by Billy_Dean@20 September 2003 - 05:32

Did I say he had an extensive knowledge of the Torah?
What I did say was that he was a non practising muslim.
