Sunday School 1 year, 3 months agoEnco, Just like Jews they don’t want you. And that is a good thing. Islam makes it easy to join and deadly to leave. Imagine the world if all cultures kept their BS to themselves? Secular or theistic, the big disgusting ideologies seek converts. Commies. Maggots. Lefty’s. Christians. Muslims only want to take over the world and they are getting a…[Read more]

Enco, this is kind of long but it is a pretty cool vid in which Yasmine Mohammed interviews a Druze Israeli. If memory serves the Druze lady here dispels a lot of lefty/islamist lies and about the culture and history of Druze.
A great video about the Druze in Israel and Yasmeen Mohammed has some thoughtful videos.
But I still didn’t see…[Read more]

What if the first signs of human civilization weren’t measured in thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years? What if archaeologists are finding evidence of human settlements and the rudiments of culture 800,000 years ago? That’s before we believe homo sapiens evolved.

It seems to me you are conceptualizing determinism from the perspective of physics. The universe unfolds in a determined way so that were one sophisticated enough in terms of mathematics and positions and forces at any one point the universe 2 billion years hence would be precisely as predicted. But i doubt anyone has the knowledge to have…[Read more]

This requires some elaboration, because if Jews lack free will (unlike antisemites) then they aren’t really responsible for their alleged crimes. I don’t recall Hitler or HAMAS saying anything like that. Quite the opposite, actually.
I doubt that Antisemites really think that they have free will either.
This is reflected in how the…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year, 3 months agoHey Enco,
Thanks for your thoughtful response.
To touch on some of your points when i brought up the Christian concept of free will i was coming at it from a different perspective. But clearly you’re correct in the way you’ve approached it. The thing in the garden of eden does not exonerate the architect. I was thinking of a free pass given to…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year, 3 months agoReg and Jake,
There’s a strip of I-77 heading towards Raleigh that is sponsored by the American Druze Society. It looked like a clean strip of road, but I didn’t see anyone working out there. I chalked it up to them being so discreet. 🤫😁.
Further along, there was another strip sponsored by Jains. I wondered then how that could even be…[Read more]

Given the gravament of the scandal, that video is just creepy. I shudder to think of what people can do with images like that!
Chat-GPT, it’s time for more briefing.

Sunday School 1 year, 3 months agoJake,
I’m back, with a few thoughts on free will and how it relates to your postings.
One, the Greek philosophers, in particular Aristotle, Epictetus, and the Stoics, discussed issues of free will vs. Determinism centuries before and separate from Judaism and Christianity, so one can hold to free will independent of Abrahamic religion.
And…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year, 3 months agoYes, had a friend from Atheist Ireland in Dublin who is Syrian and lived among a mostly Druze population, before the Civil War. She was working towards her Masters on a research team that analyzed the brains of people who died from Alzheimer’s disease.

Druze are overrepresented in IDF. And it would not surprise me if Israel ends up either annexing Suwayda Province in Southern Syria, creating a humanitarian corridor so that Druze have an escape valve or simply making Syrian Druze Israeli citizens. Druze women in Israel take full advantage of the educational opportunities and in general are…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year, 3 months agoYes, the first massacre was only a few months ago when the violence was sparked by a falsified audio attributed to a Druze religious leader, sparking anger among Sunnis who are easily offended enough to murder people. Israel even carried out targeted airstrikes to “protect the Druze”. Some of the Druze even serve in the Israeli army.
FYI – Dru…[Read more]
