    The only religious things Abraham started was the practice of cutting off guys' foreskins, child sacrifice, and forking over 10% of the ill-gotten loot. So if Jews, Christians, or muslims follow those practices they are doing what the crazy old coot Abraham did.

    We can have a lot of fun with that statement.

    Unlike WWII, there is now about 7,800,000 Jews in one area. So if they get nuked we will have an accurate figure instead of a bogus one. They should refrain from starting anymore wars.

    ALERTS TO THREATS
    IN 2013 EUROPE

    From JOHN CLEESE

    The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

    The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

    The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

    Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

    The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

    Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels ..

    The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

    Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

    Regards,
    John Cleese,
    British writer, actor and tall person

    And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. [And the Jews are spoiling for a fight] Welcome back to 430 BC.

    No. A little less than six million. The rest of the 7,800,000 Israelis are Arabs and/or Muslims.

    You assumed, not me.

    i mentioned the 'commands'

    the same commands, rules, etc...... were posted on tablets, at the city entrances of egypt, before anything 'torah' even existed. The book of the dead, has the commands and that literature is over 2000yrs before moses per se walked

    moses, per babble, was born, raised in egypt, in pharaohs house. Where do you think the knowledge was learned from?

    Read as many as I could, you know what this thread reminds me of? A bunch of D&D nerds arguing over the rules and wether or not a dwarf can get into the Halls of Mandos or how exactly to kill a 10 level wizard. I have a feeling if Tolkien had a church you guys would have studied the books and waxed philosophically and seriously over the nature of elves.

    and rocket scientists that scare the sissies of israel, with even the use of manuer.

    you would think that they would be using hydrogen and oxygen from the simple electrolysis of water via electricity.

    I guess the palestinians have pity on the swine (mudd slopping oppressors)

    I wouldn't be a rich man, I suppose, but if you had a nickel for every group that claimed they were Chosen by a higher power or destiny you might have enough to buy a few loaves of bread.

    I would have been arguing for the admission of Greco-Roman mythology so we could role play with cute forest nymphs and river nymphs.

    The good ole days, when it was considered moral to commune with the gods through cute nymphs.

    High Elves? Or forest Elves? Sea Elves? The Vanyar or the Noldor or the Teleri?
    They had a relationship with the Valar in the Undying Lands but - did they know Eru Ilúvatar and did He know them.... ??
