Wonkers and Israel

[Gary Childress]

Britain in Palestine 1917-1948
Britain in Palestine 1917-1948 investigates the contradictory promises and actions which defined British Mandatory rule in Palestine and laid the groundwork for the Nakba (the catastrophe) and the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The roots of the contemporary social, political, economic, and environmental landscape of Palestine and Israel can be traced back to this period, making it essential viewing for understanding Britain’s legacy in the region and the situation on the ground today.

So naturally, we have idiot "Christians" and their naive aspirations to fulfill the "prophecies" of the holy Babble behind this catastrophe. Never mind that those "prophecies" concern "the end times". Some of us wank to the thought of a pretty girl. "Christians" seem to wank over Bablical "prophecies" concerning the end of the world.

Ah, something I've never said. Well, I guess you can't deal with what I DO say, so you have to make up your own stuff. Carry on. I feel no inclination to engage that nonsense.

LOL.
Which begs the question why are you engaging on this thread if you think it is nonsense??

Not this thread. Your "paraphrasing." That's the nonsense.

The "expert" on all things "God" telling someone else they believe nonsense. That's rich.

I don't read Breitbart except to glance over the article titles, but this article on tunnel and underground warfare is quite interesting.

Spencer highlighted the challenge of underground warfare, where “nothing that any military developed for the surface of the Earth for fighting works.”

You can’t see down underground without special night vision because there’s no ambient light, which is what most of most night vision goggles use. You can’t navigate down there because there’s no satellite transmission. You can’t communicate because there’s no satellite or line of sight radio frequency down there that will work. Many places down there you can’t breathe. Many of your munitions can’t fire down there because the concussion will blow your eardrums and give you basically a concussion, without special equipment.

In addition, he explained, such depths can’t be reached with aerial technologies.

“Hamas dug deeper and deeper because of the fact that bunker buster bombs can go about 100 feet underground,” he said, “and the IDF has already found some Hamas tunnels 200 feet underground, below where any bunker buster can get to [or] any munition.”

The Israeli military believes, he noted, that there are likely tunnels even “300 feet” beneath the surface.

While the IDF “has some of the greatest equipment and little robots they can send down, drones that bounce off walls, remote control cars, and dogs,” with 300 miles of such tunnels, “you’ll quickly run out of that capability.”

“And sending somebody into a tunnel is the last resort, so you always seek a way not to go into a tunnel,” he explained.

However, he noted, the IDF has some personnel that can, including “everything from special forces throughout Sayeret Matkal, to the special soldiers that have been trained for it.”

Another issue is the presence of captives in such tunnels.

“We’re 99 percent sure all hostages, or a majority of them, are underground. So even some of the historical methods in which militaries used to deal with tunnels — whether it’s to explode them or neutralize them by putting tear gas in them or flooding them or something similar, you won’t initially be able to do because you have to map and navigate the tunnel to see if there are hostages down there,” he said.

The fun part is he got cancer and died an untimely death. Nietzsche went insane and died at age 55. (I've already outlived him by 1 year.)

If there's a God, then that "God" has given evangelicals all they need in order to feel "saved" and comfortable in death. It's a death sentence for science and humanism and the enlightenment ideals of liberty, fairness and peace in this world and a big divine "YES" to all the God botherers that we are living in a little divine fishbowl where our greatest achievement in life can only be to love Jesus.

[Gary Childress]

Everything I was taught in college concerning intellectual honesty, tolerance, love of peace, and the need for evidence. It was all a lie the whole time. Oh well. I lost. Send me to hell. The Enlightenment had it all wrong. Religious fanatics have been right all along. It was a gamble, a trick, a test and I failed.

I am given to understand that people who believe in god also die young, so not sure what you are trying to say here.
When they do, theists say that god takes his loved ones early to be with Him. When atheists die young they call it god's justice.

What you were taught in college is still true. Every invention; every significant improvement and innovation has relied on these "enlightenment" values. Every drug, surgical technique; architecture ad infinitem... all rely on the careful consideration of evidence and honesty.
None of it was a lie. Tolerance and love of peace remain aspirations. Half a million people peacefully marched through London yesterday for the sake of Palestinians whose children are being slaughtered by soldiers who think they are "animals" of a lower level of humanity.

That does seem to be the pattern. And it's a pretty consistent one in my observation. If I live to be 100, it'll be because God is giving me more time to convert and if I die sooner it will be because God condemned me. The Abrahamic religions are dungeons of the mind as far as I'm concerned. The only good people to them are the ones who "believe". Everyone else is either mistaken or denying the "truth".

Stay out of the dungeon. It's easy enough unless you are a monk. If you are a monk then just take a walk out of the seminary.
Believe nothing; seek knowledge.

Believe nothing; seek knowledge.

Or:- Have faith in Christ, and in the case of it (God existing) being true, gain far more knowledge.

It really is the wiser choice.

Yippy!! Here we go, the ol' atto v CW

What part of 'IT' shows LOL?

Now here is Wisdom.

Two men, on par with intelligence and knowledge:
Man A = atheist
Man B = theist

Indeed the ONLY difference between the two with regard to their reasoning and pursuit of knowledge is that Man B understands that it is wise to believe that there is a God and live his life accordingly, knowing that there may be consequences beyond man's 'justice', indeed, there may be the POSSIBILITY of greater insight.

Which of the two men has the POTENTIAL for greater knowledge?

WHICH ONE IS THE WISER OF THE TWO?

Don't you know??

As an atheist I have access to consider all the books in the library, including your one.

As a Theist you have only the one out-of-date book of lies, that denies you access to a world of knoweldge.

Stop it Sculptor, it's too early in the morning to laugh this much!!

I am no longer merely a theist, turned out having faith in Christ DOES give you access to know of God. AND, I am not limited to any book that you also have access to.

So.

Our man Mr B is the wiser in pursuit of more knowledge, ipso facto.
