    Does Israel have a "right" to Palestine?

    What is shown on the news in America or Germany is very different from what is shown on the news in Algeria. What we believe tends to be informed by what is normal in the culture that surrounds us. This thread is an opportunity to understand other perspectives rather than dismiss them out of hand.

    How to implement a 2 state solution?

    They have been persecuted too often, that is true but I think there are plenty of places where Jews live in peace with their neighbors. It is not really helpful to talk about the Jews as if they are all the same. There are good Jews and bad Jews just as there are good Christians, Muslims...

    How to implement a 2 state solution?

    I dispute these so called facts. Believing this stuff is part of the problem, part of the victim mentality which allows some Jews to believe the whole world owes them something. I do not dispute the holocaust. The holocaust was a major crime against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis...

    How to implement a 2 state solution?

    I'd like to believe that you genuinely want fairness, because if there were more people like that there might be peace. But I think that for you the center line is very much in the Israeli camp... Hopefully that was just badly worded and is not something you actually believe. Most of Europe...

    Did you see the response I made?

    How to implement a 2 state solution?

    This may be a true point. However, is there any logical reason why the Jewish Israelis should have any more rights privileges and guarantees of cultural protection than the hundreds of other ethnic and religious minorities that exist around the world? You may have your doubts but I would...

    Does Israel have a "right" to Palestine?

    Yes I do know that. I know that too. However, in reality the Jews who lived in the Southern Levant for the most part of the last two thousand years were always in a minority. Okay Obviously, since Judaism predates Islam as a religion. But the Arabs considered that the state they were...

    Does Israel have a "right" to Palestine?

    ^^ This is a great post which goes beyond the prejudice and bigotry that often accompanies this subject. Personally I don't think Israel has any right to the geographical area they claim in the Middle East based on what is written in the Bible (since I don't believe the Bible has any...

    How to implement a 2 state solution?

    What I actually said was it has worked pretty well in those parts of the world that are regarded as being fair and democratic. That would include places like The UK, The USA, France, Germany, Sweden, Australia, New Zeeland and Canada. What blind spots are you referring to? Are you against...

    How to implement a 2 state solution?

    How about a completely democratic one state solution where all those living in the region known variously as Israel and Palestine are entitled to an equal one vote each and the resulting majority get to rule regardless of race, religion or creed (in accordance with the wishes of the majority of...

    Germany religion and politics

    Yes. Sorry too busy right now to look up references but just before or during WW2 there was an agreement between Nazi Germany and the Vatican more or less to the effect that they would leave each other alone. Tax payments to the Church were a part of that arrangement. It happened to an ex of...

    Germany religion and politics

    Yes Germans and Austrians pay some tax to the Catholic Church unless they opt out. I'm not sure about Germany but I know that in Austria if you opt out you are automatically excommunicated from the Church. The arrangement in Germany was started by Hitler in an agreement with The Vatican...

    pagan religions

    It would be impossible to give a comprehensive answer to that. You could look through the Paganism DIR to get an idea of what some of the Pagan paths are about.

    pagan religions

    Paganism is a new category of religions? I don't think so. Strictly speaking any religion that is not Christian can be called Pagan which would make Paganism the oldest category of religions. Ajah Dharma started with Wicca? Really? Could you explain more about that.

    I'm suing my former shrinks practice

    Maybe your time and money would be better spent simply finding a better shrink. And whoever he or she is be upfront at the start about why you left your last one. There are good ones and bad ones, I hope you are luckier next time; your well-being is important.

    Burning Bibles (and other taboos)

    Breaking taboos can indeed be cathartic and therapeutic for the reasons given above. It has played a part in my personal and spiritual development. However, the aim of such activities can be seen in two ways. Firstly as in breaking down a door which, once forced open, does not need to be opened...
