Does Religion Make People Moral?

Quote: petroglyph

Has someone attacked Israel or Israeli occupied territory?

Is this a joke question? There are missiles launched into towns frequently from the peaceful people of Gaza. Not aimed at military instillations, but at communities of civilians. Plus the many suicide bombers.

You can attempt to justify the attacks, but to act like you don't know they exist is silly.

You did? You posted pics of god and
provided testimony and DNA evidence
from his known relatives? You have gods
birth certificate? I missed all of that.

Is this what you require to prove someone's existence? Do you think this is what is required for a court to prove someone's existence? Can you prove your great-great-great grandfather's existence then?

Yup. I have the lineage in the family
tree, and actual signed letters he
wrote as an officer in the Civil War.
And pictures, of course.

I hope he was trying to kick the hangman in the nuts.

They had to hang deserters or everybody
would have deserted. Desertion was still
a huge problem, even with the death penalty
as punishment.

I was responding to FrG's post, and what I was keying in on was "currently". Yes lots of primitive rockets, [not missiles] have been lobbed indiscriminately into Israel, and the occupied territory in the past.

Suicide bombers? Could have been one last week, but I didn't see it? The PLO and whoever else, definitely brainwashed some young people into dying for their cause.

What I have seen lately is wanton bombing of Syria, and Yemen. Everybody is bombing Syria, including us and what for?

Anyway, my point was I haven't seen any missiles or suicide bombing's against Israel, recently. Lot's of bombing going on in the area though.

Okay add one more great so you don't have a picture. By the way I can trace every single Pope from Francis in an unbroken line to Peter the Apostle.

How many Popes can you name, starting with the current one, and going backwards?

I cannot even name the current one, not
decisively. I can guess, but I really have
never paid that much attention to them.
I know he's a rabid socialist from S America
and it colors everything he does. I do know
that much.
