Its no good choosing to observe some scripture and ignore others: if someone knocked on your door and said your house had been given to them by god: would you agree?

You call it stealing and killing....I call it defending. If the hamas cowards would stay away from the schools and hospitals when they lob rockets, the kids wouldn't get killed when Israel shoots back.

Israel was NOT given to anyone by any god! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that a ethnocentric people thought themselves very "special" and fabricated a history, better known as the Old Testament, to support this.

A nation that was 'founded' on stealing and robbing and murdering will never find peace

Now you've gone and done it! He'll bring up Liechtenstein, and you won't have an answer to that.

Well I don't think we could ever equate lad from Barrio Logan as anywhere close to a rocket scientist.

However, if there is no god of any kind and if the process of survival of the fittest and natural selection is the only true explanation of world events, then should'nt the Israelite victory over the Cananite nations be celebrated as such a proof of these evolutionary concepts ???


Hmmmmm
