Hardline Rabbi Says Israeli Jews Should Support Pakistan over India in a War

[I*R*A]

And my existence is evidence that my parents reproduced, not that some invisible being created me for a grand purpose.

Your parents did not either create the sperm nor the egg for you to come into being. Your parents were just the carriers. They did not decide your gender, they did not have any role or say in how you would look, they did not know how to feed you while you were in womb. Who made you forget the nine months of darkness and stages of your development.

Otherwise, I could just as easily claim the Spaghetti Monster created everything. How would you prove me wrong?

Yeah sure if he created an egg inside your mother and sperm for you inside your father.

You're the one claiming God exists, so the burden of proof is on you.

I am not blind to all the living and other signs around me. Nothing only multiplies into nothing, it doesn't value nor can reduce it.

That's pretty much how cavemen thought too. Anything they couldn't explain must have been the work of some higher power. Thankfully we have come a long way since then.

And this is why I find some religions more worrying than others even though I don't believe in any of them. Some are so stuck in the past, and their beliefs so rigidly enforced, that questioning or changing anything becomes almost impossible.

Organised religion certainly had its uses in bringing people together, creating social order and building societies. But I think we're reaching a point where it's outlived its usefulness. Humanity needs to move beyond ancient beliefs rather than remain trapped by them.

I always get second hand embarrassment seeing your peoples (Indian comments we love Isreal Saar )) The is unlike anything I have seen. The ironic thing is Israelis wouldn't even want to touch them. I do not understand this level of servitude.

You haven't anything in response to my asks. You just deflected by telling me to prove the existence, when I asked you to prove the non existence.

You can blame others for showing rigidity but I find you confused, may be.

Anyhow, to you what you want to believe or not, to me, what I believe.

Our foreign policy is based on our interests, nothing more, nothing less. And with nearly a fifth of humanity living within our borders, you'll find people of every opinion and calibre. Perhaps a few more at certain ends of the spectrum, given the rather peculiar stage of development we're at.

You seem to be missing a rather basic point. I'm not claiming to know that no god exists. I'm saying there's no convincing evidence that one does. I don't have to disprove every god humans have dreamt up, any more than you have to disprove my Spaghetti Monster. The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. But yes, you're free to believe whatever you like.
