    Trap: Promise of Reward

    Your post sounds very Jewish. Since Judaism doesn't have a place of eternal torment (i.e. Hell), we don't have a concept of doing good to avoid a bad place. We do good deeds, just for the opportunity to do more good deeds. I agree with you that doing good deeds just for the expectation of a...

    New Information to Refute Your Beliefs

    It's irrelevant. G-d can't be found in a test tube. I really don't understand why some people keep trying to conflate science with religion. They are two different schools of thought. Just as science can't measure our souls, neither can it observe or experiment on G-d.

    How to Pick Up Men and Women

    Woot! I'm the exception. When we met, my future wife kept trying to get rid of me. And me, Mr. hint-deaf over here, kept persisting. Now we're at 29 years and going strong.

    How to Pick Up Men and Women

    It better not be a hint. Men are tone-deaf regarding hints.

    Capitalist Vs Socialist Pubic Hair

    To quote you, that sounds very curmwhingled.

    Why do U.S. Americans hate on American athletes for speaking their mind?

    There is nothing new here. We can admire our athletes, actors, comedians, and other people for the work that they do. But once they start sharing more than that, whether it be their political opinions, sexual preferences, etc, they open themselves up to criticism by the people that disagree.

    How to Pick Up Men and Women

    It seems like it's a 'chicken vs. egg' sort of argument. Did a relationship start when a man talks to a woman, when a women made a nonverbal gesture to a man, when a man noticed and made a move, or what? How is the beginning defined? I'm sure women have signaled to men plenty of times only to...

    Wow! I had no idea that so many religions had made rulings about pubic hair. I gotta go read those threads.

    No. Are they in the Muslim DIR or elsewhere?

    "Why is the Bible so Poorly Written?"

    I don't know if you're correct or not. But I do know that if you're correct, then that canon is not the same as the versions in use today. It's been translated into Greek, into Latin, into English, with no quality control for the past thousand years. Is there any wonder that there are so many...

    A: This is how you deal with Trump Supporters

    It's funny. You first say that you don't claim to be anything resembling an authority on these laws. But on your very next sentence, you suddenly know what is plausible and that it is DEFINITELY a violation of the law. All we really know for sure is that you don't like Trump and want him to be...

    Alright, what are your beliefs regarding pubic hair?

    "Why is the Bible so Poorly Written?"

    Oh yeah, the Christian bible is a mess. We've known that since its inception. Heck even Christians have known it is a mess. Father Origen around the year 250 wrote that the Christian bible was full of forgeries.

    Muslim pubic hair

    Ruling on shaving pubic hair I recently saw a movie that mentioned Taliban actions on pubic hair and wondered if the movie made it up. I found that it does have a basis in truth. Muhammad made a ruling on pubic hair. It is recommended, but not required for everyone to trim it. It is only...

    Evil among us

    Obviously Judaism has a completely different take on it. G-d created each of us with the capacity to do evil. The Good is defined as our moral conscience, our inner voice, that lets you know what is right and in accordance with G-d's Laws. The Evil is defined as our selfish nature, our desire...

    On American Jews and Israel

    You didn't say that. You said it never existed prior to 1948. Then you're missing out. Israel is part of our blood, our DNA if you will. We have a multi-thousand year connection to that strip of land. It is religious, it is cultural, and it is traditional. Our prayers and thoughts are...

    Day of Preparation?

    Yes, that will be the cause of many differences between your Christian beliefs and my Jewish ones. My bible reads: In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, [you shall offer up] a Passover offering to the Lord. On the fifteenth day of this month, a festival [begins]; you shall...

    Examples of a paradox?...

    For me, it involves the use of time machines. Such as: The inventor of a time machine goes back in time and murders both his parents before he was conceived. From whence comes the inventor?

    On American Jews and Israel

    It existed as a country two thousand years ago. Jews have lived continuously in that part of the world for thousands of years. Plus it is extensively referred to in our bible. Israel is completely part of our heritage.
