I still haven't heard a good response about why secular jews are even considered jews for that matter? Jews are not a nationality, they are a faith. And since they are a faith that encompasses all nationalities if they so choose to be jews, "faith" is the determining factor of whether or not someone is a jew.
And we all know Israel is about jews and judaism. And yet secular, essentially non-jews are bombing disputed terriroty all in the name of that religion's supposed sacred rights to occupy that acreage over in Sand-Land..
I can tell you that there is way more prime land to fight over than a bunch of dusty, rubble-ridden ruins. Why to they fight over it? Faith...religion... And the ultimate irony is that that same religion forbids them, in the Ten Big Laws to not put emphasis of worship as tied to faith on anything that is carved of the Earth...including land...
They're blasphemers...carrying on the way they do.
Of course with Islam there are people who don't "get" the Koran...plenty of them. The Koran itself is not a bad book either...plenty of good advice for getting along with the neighbors..how to conduct one's daily affairs and so on. The Bible has some nuggets of wisdom. The Tao too...and the Hindi faith of reincarnation..one of my personal favorites. They all have good advice and a bunch of hoo-ha too accumulated from contemporary politics conflicting with the word of each of their respective "Allmighties".
Wanna know what my religion is? It is the relgion of "_____". You see, I can't name it, because the minute I try to give a human name to what it is I believe and practice, like a grain of truth in an oyster it will start to have layers of (beautiful at first, I'll admit) nacre put over it, at first to adorn it and to "worship it better", but after the years go on there is so much nacre from all sorts of sources that have their own way of wanting to see the truth, instead of actually seeing it...that the "pearl" becomes the faith and the nugget of truth inside is all but forgotten..
A rolling stone gathers no moss.. I keep my faith fresh, unnamed and always rolling..
The Ten Commandments of the Old Testament is the only true grain of truth...all the other 613 are layers of nacre put in place by well-meaning holy men, some of them valid, others no longer so...but all still adhered to as if they were more important than the Supreme 10
