by Awareness is the key
People really need their awareness raised regarding the plight of the Palestinian people. This is the best way to shift the distorted thinking. I think that many people blindly support israel simply because they don't know any better--as a result of the pro-israel bias in mainstream media.
by Robert Skoursen
before you make any conclusions,
i'd like to first point out that i am not jewish and i don't hate palestinians,

the bible says that israel is the jewish people's promised land,
and it is their blood right, so it should belong to them no matter what,
so the Jews are the true owners and the palestinians aren't,
so the Jews should have full control,
but there is nothing wrong with Palestinians/arabs being there,
if they want to they have every right to live in Israel, but as israeli (not palestinian) citizens,
if Palestine wants to be a nation, then they better do it somewhere else, because that land clearly belongs to the jews
by whether they admit it or not
It's this belief in the fairy tales of the bible that drives Israeli terrorism toward the good people of Palestine.
by X-tianity is a mental disease
I give the Israelis a free pass on their atrocities against the Palestinians because they must reclaim Israel over the dead bodies of the heathens before God will return to unleash his wrath on all the Sodomites, boiling their eyeballs out of their heads while I jerk off watching YAHAHAHAHAHA(twitch spasm)HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA(grunt spooj)HAHAHAHAHAA. Then God will offer Jews the chance to join his kingdom by converting to the Southern Baptist Church and rolling around speaking in tongues like the rest of us bible-thumping trailer trash inbreds. Hopefully the Jews will turn down God's offer and roll around screaming in the everlasting lake of fire instead. We Baptists are pretty set on having the world to ourselfs

anyways, that one dood who compared the bible to a fairy tale is wrong, the bible is the absolute word of god whether you believe in him or not, and if you don't believe in god, then you're absolutely wrong,

and that one baptist dude was rude, expectially when he said that comment about masturbation, if he is a true christion then he would know that masturbation is a sin and he shouldn't be doing it, and that statement about jews burning in hell or be forced to join the baptists wasextremely rude, it just goes to show that he's a racist, he has know way for sure of knowing if they'll go to hell, he also shouldn't be makeing comments about jews burning, after what hitler did to them in WW2, such jokes are just inappropiate, and also saying that the jews will have to become baptist is politically incorrect, there are other christion denominations than just baptist, there are also catholics, lutherans, baptists, presbetarians (i'm not sure if i spelled that right) and many other denominations that are christion, except for mormonism and jahova witness because they're not christion

and last of all someone on this board called the israelis terrorists, well i'm sorry, but they're not terrorists, the terrorists are the ones who crashed planes into us on 911, they're the ones who mailed us anthrax, they're the ones who keep attacking our soldiers in Iraq, and they're also the palestinians that keep attacking the israelites
by Ever heard of ???
Ever heard of state sponsored terror?
Before you blindly beleive everything you're told in the name of God, or the bible, try critically thinking.
by X-tianity is a mental disease
You mean you don't recognize your own Millenial Dispensationalist whack-job doctrine? Wow, you're really sucking shit at the bottom of the follower/idiot food chain aren't you?

by Robert Skourson
well first of all, critical thinking and common sense don't really matter,
GOD is the only thing that matters, cuz what he says goes,

and how dare people call the christianity (the greatest thing in the world) a whack-job doctrine,
who ever said that better learn to watch there mouth or else they might end up regretting it

and that one person who said that they're baptist has no right calling themself a christion because that person clearly doesn't know a single thing about christianity and they clearly misrepresent what we're all about
by You are pathetic
and you know this because?
Oh, because someone told/indoctrinated you and you now feel guilty if you don't say you have "faith"????
Once again. learn some critical thinking skills
by Robert Skourson
i know the bible is the absolute word of god because i have met god and he talked to me
by Now we get it.
This is clearly a medication issue.
