Dear Lincol:

[You have reduced your humanity by being a man without a chest. For not everything about life is definable.]

Excuse me…

[As for the misfortunes India has suffered, call it compensation for what it has tolerated
and perpetrated.]

Please enlighten us about perpetration.

[After all, what was dished out by Indians before the Mughals and Muslims dished out those things you demonized?]

Very interesting, you verily a scholar, scholarship grammar school…arssship. Demonize you, demonize me.

Liconly…your friend, aufruf an das deutsche volk….

You have reduced your humanity by being a man without a chest. For not everything about life is definable.

As for the misfortunes India has suffered, call it compensation for what it has tolerated
and perpetrated.

After all, what was dished out by Indians before the Mughals and Muslims dished out those things you demonized?

“Miami Man, you are employing selective vision. Take a closer look in Hebrew at the Ten Commandments, and you will find that what is translated into “You shall have no other Gods before me” is better translated into “You shall have no other authorities before me”.

Still nothing to do with polytheism and monotheism. You push the arguyment without any base.

[As for what India has put up with regarding Muslims, what about the caste system that saw
British traders eventually deal with Parsi’s, rather than continue with the Hindi’s because those of one caste could only deal with others
of the same caste, and this extended to the handling of dishes. A Brahmin would not pass a plate to someone of another caste. So, what
you had to say about what India cuts very little ice.]

Apparently, according to your view, the caste system, which I agree is an abomination, justifies the tremendous crimes committed by the Mughals and Muslims in occupied India. Wow, great thinking and feeling. The Indian had it coming, right? Some type of Karma?

Indeed the Muslims have oppressed the Hindus much more than other groups, but only because they were able to. Christians have indeed forgotten their Byzantine past and their Chaldean, Maronite and Coptic brethren who still live in persecution and fear to this day. The Muslims do this not because there are a few wackos in their midst scaring them into doing it but because the Koran tells them to. The problem with Islam is not the interpretation of sharia or “fundamentalism”: the problem with Islam is the Koran.

I don’t understand this tendency to deny the obvious tenets of one’s belief system. The Koran teaches that everyone must convert or die. Hinduism is pantheistic and idolatrous. If you don’t believe that abandon the religion. If you retain the religion admit what it is. Why say it is something other than what it is? Do you think the rest of us are idiots and can’t read?

Your trying to hard to be evil, just be yourself, evil enough.

Don’t try to be a political philosopher — stick to female sex zombies.

I’m not so sure our roots came from Europe because I think the founders might have tried to take the form of rule by the people, while limiting it’s excesses such as tyrannical rule by the majority. They also inserted a clause of “self-evedence” that all men are created equal, with the caveat “by the creator”. Maybe this was a way to take what value a person has away from what value another person gives them. By valuing all humans equality through a Creator, they eliminated a mortal man as ultimate king and ultimate judge, and also eliminated the danger of a system of caste.

I think that what I might mean is that God comes in handy when he is democratic, that is, believes all men are created equal and have a say in their own destiny.

By not associating with any certain God but calling the entity a Creator (nameless) in a generic way, all citizens would be able to practice freedom of faith without adhering to a government sanctioned religious institution.

It seems the Greeks and Romans decided to come together as a group and grant each other equal power eliminating others such as the landless, slaves, women etc. Not really a democracy in my opinion but a plutocracy. I don’t think their gods were democratic.

Plus, there is the premise that the victory of Hanukkah is a victory for belief, because the tyrant may rule the realm, but not the heart.

This speaks to the knowable part of the supernatural being upheld by the unknowable part.

Therefore, because the West has done more with its time since the fall of Constantinople, than the Sons of Allah, protecting and/or respecting the property rights of more people, and doing so more often, goes a long way in explaining this. Plus it also speaks to the correlation between the protections ordinary people have, and how they are rooted in eternity. Which is something that the Rta would concur with.
