Scary Poll: 44% in poll OK limits on rights of Muslims

[gautama]

oh looky.. jewbait is out making up more stats about his hated ****** class. THATS rare.

Shogun is the typical Librul Retard.

Even this delusional idiot (wannabe Hideyoshi or Ieyasu ?) cannot deny the GROSS maltreatment of the rights of women, non-muslames, and gays.....and ESPECIALLY the Jews.

So what does this Libtard Swine do ? He insults GHook by calling him "jewbait" and throws in "******" for dramatic effect....all to obfuscate and deflect the readers from the fact that the GHook is giving us the unvarnished TRUTH.

So?? I am curious?? Since when did what happens in another nation become justification to do something in our nation?? Or is that a rebuttlican principle?? When are you morons ever going to learn.. Two wrongs don't make a right.. You all add new meaning to short bus special..

The point, STUPID, is that you Librul Swine, INVARIABLY apologize, apease, and can't wait to scarf down MusLame doggydoo, while VOCIFEROUSLY protecting this scum as you INVARIABLY do when it comes to Mid East Policy. Or any recognition of the UNADULTERATED and UNMITIGATED FACT that the Muslames, in general, are a very DANGEROUS BUNCH of Humanity.

You just did that in a post above.

WHY are these kooks very dangerous ? Answer: because they follow a very DANGEROUS instruction made CRYSTAL CLEAR by their wannabe Messiah, the Pedophile and Thief about CONQUERING THE WORLD by word or SWORD with any violence to that end as being justified AND REWARDED in Allah-Heaven with such ridiculous promises as eternally boinking 72 virgins ( these Muslames must have a powerful version of Viagra), doing the bong, etc.

Thus, the more DEVOUT these religious idiots are, the more DANGEROUS they are.

GEDDIT ?!?!?

Of course NOT.

But then. I am not posting this for you.....that's a hopeless endeavor.

I'm posting this to give ammunition to those who can use it when countering political idiots like you.

Actually, Taoists were scientists. They understood the value of emptiness.

Their book is the one written by Lao-Tzu, the Tao Te Ching.

And....oh yeah......Tao is more of a philosophy than a theology.

Please do try to keep up.

Hey rookie, My dad was with Standard Oil. I lived in China. And, I went to Nanking University near Tientsin (Tyanjing). So, the only "emptiness" you should be concerned with, is the "emptiness" between your ears.

Actually, I shouldn't be so rough with you. You are one of the "good guys". Arigato godzayimas for that. It's just that your pretentiousness and "God is my Sensei" or whatever that religious bullshit includes ... that rubs me the wrong way.

Yeah...............so you traveled a bit. Good for you! Been to 26 different countries myself, but that isn't what matters.

Its what I LEARNED from those places I was in. Although I do envy you a bit, never had the opportunity to go to the Far East, UAE was about as close as I got.

As far as the "God is my Sensei"? Well......after studying Torah for a couple of years, I came across the thought (in the Torah), that our soul is a small piece of God that He carved out from under His Throne with the blade of Self Will.

Yeshua (Jesus) referred to that when He stated "The Father and I are One", as well as when He said "the Kingdom of God is within".

Even if it is total bullshit (as you suggest), it's still a fun thing to believe. But.......interestingly enough......the more a scholar learns about science (Newton, Copernicus, Galileo, Einstein), the more they start to believe in God.

And......if we would ALL act as such, don't you think the world would be a much better place to live? I mean.....we're told repeatedly that God is Love.

Come to think of it.......there it is again.......when Yeshua was asked what the greatest commandment was, He said........

"Love God above all else, and love one another like you love God".

If we all thought like that, war and racism would be a thing of the past.

"ITHACA, N.Y. -- Nearly half of all Americans surveyed said they think the US government should restrict the civil liberties of Muslim Americans, according to a nationwide poll.

The survey conducted by Cornell University also found that Republicans and people who described themselves as highly religious were more apt to support curtailing Muslims' civil liberties than Democrats or people who are less religious."






This survey gives us all these in-depth percentages, but it doesn't tell us the percentage of Republicans and Democrats, or the percentage of Liberals and Conservatives that voted, and how they voted. The only thing it gives us, is a very vague..... "The survey conducted by Cornell University also found that Republicans and people who described themselves as highly religious were more apt to support curtailing Muslims' civil liberties than Democrats or people who are less religious."

You're a fucking survey, how about some fucking numbers!

Again with the 1/2 truths. Or, gross distortions.

While is true that Newton was religious, towards the end of his days he began to be critical of his religious beliefs.

Copernicus and Galileo not only GRIEVIOUSLY suffered because of the religiosity of others.....they began to question the very tenets of religiosity and man's capability of unraveling this great mystery. Obviously these truths about their true beliefs were not publicly aired but assertions that have credence have been made. But, no actual proof.

So, as to the above, for me, the jury is out as to their religious fervor. Naturally, there is an abundance of data underlining their so-called religiosity. Just as the claims about Einstein. So I am ambivalent about the info regarding the aforementioned three great geniuses.

But with Einstein you are dead flipping wrong.

The religious are CONSTANTLY yapping about Einstein being a religious person. To their continuous dismay, Einstein CONSISTENTLY REPUDIATED that religious claim. There are NUMEROUS Einstein repudiations on this point. Some quite vociferous. Einstein made it CRYSTAL CLEAR that his "god" was Spinoza's "god".......who is NOWHERE close to the anthropomorphic "god" of Christianity and the other Organized Religions of the World. Check it out.

Let me tell you a true story.

I was extremely concerned with Religion in my early teens. One might say that it bothered the hell outa me. The inconsistencies were just too much for me to swallow. So after much mental sweat, and sleepless nights at the age of ~ 16, I came to the conclusion that if there was a "god" (and that still is a big "IF") it could not possibly be the Anthropomorphic "god" of Organized religions.

I came to the conclusion that if there is a "god" then this "god" must be the "Sum Total of the Laws of the Universe". Beyond that any speculation is a bunch of hooey. IOW, praying to my "god" is like praying to lightening so it won't strike you. A totally useless pastime. The statistical results of praying to the Organized Religion's "god" are identical to praying to the nearest rock in your garden.

I came to this conclusion INDEPENDENTLY without having studied Philosophy.

Later on, when I studied philosophy.... imagine my pleasant surprise, actually a SHOCK.....when I discovered Spinoza's "god" And, not much later, that Einstein's "god" was, according to Einstein himself, basically Spinoza's "god" and MY "god"......"The Sum Total of the Laws of the Universe".
Generally, that is a philosophical/theological concept that's betwixt being Pantheism/Pandeism. Nuances of each other.

Listen dude.........if you could get that chip off your shoulder, you'd probably see that we actually come to the same destination, but from different angles.

BTW........my favorite quote? It's by Einstein.......

"Theology without science is crippled, and science without theology is blind".

Additonally........do you know how many names there are for God, in Jewish theology alone?

Several.

Add that to the many other theologies that go (generally) the same way, and you get even more.

Approach it from the scientific side, and you call it "the divine watchmaker".

But.......it's all the same.
