That's what he was doing before you jumped in like a retarded orangutan on crack.

Yeah...much better. Far less offensive. :duh3:
Actually, I have learned a few things from Jews, one woman in particular, both about the Jewish religion, and about other things in life. She was a very nice lady.jillian said:Well you sure didn't learn about it from Jews, did ya?

More along these lines.
Still don't understand how my pointing out a logical flaw (trying to stop the defacement of God's name by defacing it one's self ) is insulting or degrading to all Jewish people and their beliefs. Or how expressing my wish that we could still know the name of our common God is belittling Jews and/or victimizing Christians.

They defaced something belonging (truly to all mankind, but for the sake of argument...) to their own religion. That was a logical flaw which deprived their own people as well as those whom inherited the faith in God. However, stating that is not a slight on all Jews, everywhere.jillian said:My *context* is that no religion should be disparaged. Saying a 5,000 year old religion somehow defaced something *belonging* to a later-created religion is disparaging, notwithstanding the cheerleaders who seem to think otherwise.

Go figure.
MissileMan said:I went back and re-read this thread and she's been asked several times if she is Jewish, and on what basis she is claiming superior knowledge of early Judaeism. Since asking a straightforward question appears to be something some of the folks here are afraid to do, let me help you out.
Jillian. Do you think that using G_d to "drive the whackjobs nuts" is disparaging to someone's religion?

Actually, I didn't consider it irreverent in the least. Quite the contrary. RWA starting a thread on such a topic, just to turn into Jew bashing, well that doesn't fall within my definition of Christian or reverent.dilloduck said:How about this?

Isn't the use of the G-d for this purpose a bit irreverant ?
Kathianne said:I believe it was me, not Jillian that said that. No, I don't think I'm disparaging them at all. If they wish to take offense and start really long threads, their choice I guess. By the way, I do not believe writing G_d is defacing or disparaging or defiling His name either.
I know. I wrote the 'whack job' remark with a certain type of person in mind, I'm sorry Niena got caught up in the discussion, I have no doubt that she meant anything mean. She believes what she wrote, I have no doubt either. I just disagree with her.MissileMan said:Conspiracy Boy and his sidekick, Tan Gent are calling Jillian a hypocrit for not calling you out for your remarks.

dilloduck said:Naaaa--I think RW knew he was being baited and chose a neutral forum to respond.
Said1 said:Baited by whom?
But still, we can't allow politics and religion to invade the general chat forum. That's just sick.
dilloduck said:no shit
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND CHAT !!!!!!:teeth:
