    Do you think Moses existed as a historical figure?

    Wrong, that's not true. It's a literary style used in the book, prophet Muhammad himself gave his exegesis after some disciples were confused and asked him what's the meaning behind this, he answered: "The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the names of Apostles...

    Is it antisemitic to use the term "Jew" as a synonym for "Nationalist" or is it fine?

    You're unable to refute this maturely and instead personally attacking me, dishonestly. I have reported your post and hope it's subject to moderation.

    Is it antisemitic to use the term "Jew" as a synonym for "Nationalist" or is it fine?

    I did say a common trait, not a vital trait in Jews. I suppose there are some few Jews that are not nationalistic, and of course self-hating Jews are also an exception, but the immense majority are loyalist to being Jewish and it's quite common, albeit not all Jews are nationalistic. However...

    Is it antisemitic to use the term "Jew" as a synonym for "Nationalist" or is it fine?

    You cannot come to conclusions from reading a partial/misquoted citation of the full poem.

    Is it antisemitic to use the term "Jew" as a synonym for "Nationalist" or is it fine?

    I said "stereotype/common trait," these two descriptions were used respectively for each of the two explanations. [note #1] When someone says "Jews are greedy," it's stereotype and antisemitic. When someone says "Jews are nationalists," it's a common trait and not antisemitic, but fine. Note...

    Faith in Buddhism

    Majority of Buddhists, especially Mahayana, have faith - Mahayana is really strong on faith that it's no different from Judaic or Christian eschatology and theology, at least in principle. Buddha was said to be theistic and rebirth in different forms is a form of mystic faith, he also made...

    Jihadists must die, --- but our real enemies are the Qur’an and Bible.

    @LuisDantas. Whether or not he was an atheist is inconclusive, some say he was a Deist - what I consider for materialized theism or watered-down atheism, since it's a belief in an impersonal force with no religious authority. I think it was likely he was an atheist, all his contemporaries...

    Is it antisemitic to use the term "Jew" as a synonym for "Nationalist" or is it fine?

    All humans are greedy, it's a common trait everywhere, a natural way of living.

    Is it antisemitic to use the term "Jew" as a synonym for "Nationalist" or is it fine?

    The poem quotes a socialist saying that - I didn't say it myself, it's not antisemitic in context.

    Are there any Zoroastrians here?

    No.

    Are there any Zoroastrians here?

    Well, Zoroastrianism in Islam is considered for one of the divine religions (Quran 22:17) and the disciples of Muhammad all believed in Zoroaster as a prophet. It's likely Islam is a continuation to it and was influenced in this way.

    Are there any Zoroastrians here?

    Zoroastrianism didn't influence the Abrahamic faiths - early Judaism was polytheistic, then it evolved to henotheism and eventually monotheism around after Moses, who came from the Atenic Egypt, not Zoroastrian Persia.

    Do you think Moses existed as a historical figure?

    Interesting, but still... I'm not convinced. But I admit, you make a fair point.

    Your answer is far from great.

    Do you think Moses existed as a historical figure?

    I don't get your point here. Egyptian is a different language and while it has some cognates, it plays no role.

    Do you think Moses existed as a historical figure?

    No, and I'm not saying that either.

    Pantheism and Deism - Richard Dawkins' comment

    I would say the opposite, Deism is the sexed-up atheism, since it's already sort of atheistic. Pantheism is a watered down theism.

    Do you think Moses existed as a historical figure?

    Most people seem to think that we know everything about Egyptian history, when in fact we only know a fraction of it.

    Go to sleep, your age is hindering my understanding of your reading comprehension. You're drunk, rabbit.
