    An Insult to the Ladies

    perhaps i was misled by your use of the word "glorious". i cannot imagine that life was that much fun as either a hetaira or a breeding machine, sorry, wife. by contrast, jewish women were and are, by both biblical and rabbinic law, both able to inherit, own property and transact business in...

    If God isn't Benevolent Doesn't that make God and the Devil?

    there is no "judaic demiurge". this is typical of people attributing ideas to us that are simply nothing to do with judaism. b'shalom bananabrain

    When the Beloved is Ready for the Lover

    and i would consider it a hillul haShem. with an attitude like that, i cannot understand why you would waste your time in this forum. clearly you have understood nothing about the message of the Torah or the prophets. i am disgusted. ben masada? ben sina, more like. bananabrain

    An Insult to the Ladies

    quite right too. in sephardic synagogues they are put properly out of the way behind a curtain where they can't tempt us poor men. but seriously, folks, this is how i think it works. women, not being obliged to observe positive, time-bound commandments, need not engage in communal prayer...

    An Insult to the Ladies

    well, perhaps. he has always seemed like a bit of an idiot to me; not a chap with whom i feel i can do business, so to speak. hehe. you might include a "gobsh*te" and a coprolite. what? of course it was different. all the agricultural laws and the Temple sacrifices were in operation...

    An Insult to the Ladies

    what dream said, serv. i say this blessing every morning as i put my wedding ring on. does that make me a misogynist? honestly, we ought to have come along some way since we insisted on viewing every nuance of religion from the perspective of an andrea dworkin. i've had the redoubtable mrs...

    If God isn't Benevolent Doesn't that make God and the Devil?

    in isaiah, G!D Makes it perfectly clear that the Divine "Makes peace and Creates evil". i don't see why that is such a problem. are you expecting G!D to Suspend the laws of nature on your behalf? the point is that humans have responsibility, that includes responsibility for our actions given...

    Is the War on Terror World War III

    well, perhaps, but you don't have the perspective of a historian, nor (i suspect) are you old enough to comment on the social aspects of the post WWII refugee situation or to do a compare-and-contrast of forced population movements in, say, the last century which might force you to challenge...

    Is the War on Terror World War III

    where's bob_x when we need him? honestly, amergin, your anti-israeli bias really is unencumbered by history. the americans didn't really start supporting the israelis until after 1967; most of what they had in 1948 had been bought army surplus and smuggled in via places like south america...

    Question for Christians and Jews

    er... where are you getting that from? jews were jews for 2,000 years before muhammad arrived on the scene and, besides, you're begging the question - where have "jews" been so "quick to judge"? give me an example instead of generalising. hang on - if that is the case, muslims should not...

    What The Bible Says About Muhammad.

    that must be why we find it such a useless text...not. of course, nobody could ever make such claims about the Qur'an, could they? islamic claims of bible corruption are ideologically motivated and self-serving, just like the christian claims before them. what can i say - typically they are not...

    Worship God, Not Religion

    and i would be interested to know precisely what this means. not the hermetic stuff, i know about that, but the other stuff. what is it for? how does it work? why do you dismiss the source context? b'shalom bananabrain

    Worship God, Not Religion

    i have picked that up in the past; it shows....in a good way! :) that's really very interesting to know. for me, it was partly this which impelled me to recommit to the context required; the kabbalah made me more traditionally religious. it would be fantastic to understand from your PoV what...

    Tradition

    is that dr statham during his "G!D's a sod" phase or "surreptitiously bringing her to climax with a breadstick" or dressed as a gladiator? and if that's what you have in mind, i'm not sure i ever want to meet you in real life. green wing... genius. and filmed in north london, too! b'shalom...
