But the higher power which I believe in does not have a chosen people, does not rob land from one group to give it to another....to put it bluntly, my higher power is not racist. The higher power I believe in does not call on one group to subjugate another, not as a test or punishment or for any other reason....the voices that call on some people to treat others inhumanely, as less than equals, that comes from a different place. <br /><br />Gordie Canukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889201338151732092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283396870042562820.post-33508516438185190052015-10-19T23:55:14.449-04:002015-10-19T23:55:14.449-04:00Your lack understanding of the (Jewish) Bible.

Jews have literature dating back to at least 2,500 years, and all of it supports the Bible's history of ancient Egypt, the forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, etc. <br /><br />The Jewish nation, as Mark Twain wrote, have seen all empires come and go. They remain until today one family. If you take a serious look into world history, you ought realize that Jewish history defies Nature, what with Jews scattered worldwide, always persecuted, killed and chased out, always generating enmity in jealous hearts, always the scapegoat. Yet these people continue to thrive and remain united - no matter what.<br /><br />Take a Canadian who moves to Thailand, say. Chances are his family sooner or later will mingle and mix and his Canadian genome will extinguish. This is true for any people except the Jew. Why?<br /><br />That you can brush off Israel apathetically - even if you only see the world with your fleshy eyes and believe that only that flesh's visuality is what defines truth, you ought to take pause and reconsider because - it's not for nothing Israel/Jews remain in constant focus in the eyes of the world. <br /><br />Don't you even catch a hint there's more here than meets the eye? Do you remain obstinately and completely obscured from seeing even a bit of truth to the "chosen people" concept that you scorn?<br /><br />I'm not trying to convince you, because I too do not care about your blogging opinions, but as a rational human to another, do you entirely dispossess the validity of a higher spiritual element?<br /><br />Is your life and that of the ant's on par. One day here, one day gone - gone into the wastebasket of finite history? If you don't believe in God, then you have nothing to live for except to follow your lusts. What sets you higher than the animals you eat? That you can think, calculate and reason is just billions of years of adaptation, and crap like that, is that it?<br /><br />Alas I waste words upon a Canadian ant (no offense to the ant). (In fact, Jewish sages teach us that we can learn from the ant both industriousness and the proper behavior of No Theft!)<br /><br />You may be too far gone to make sense to or argue with, but I had to put in my two cents because you are, after all, a human and thus impressionable, and maybe, just maybe, I can expose to you a piece of the mosaic that really exists behind the thick curtain of Nature.<br /><br />I love Canada, always did, although the liberal slant career politicians have engendered, as in the USA, abodes ill for the country, I think.in the vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796434751654291581noreply@blogger.com
