I ask theists ‘stupid questions’, like my shoe question above, so that they will have to focus on the other questions I have asked about the 72 virgins. I find such distracting questions can start a ‘Socratic Method’ conversation as the theist is compelled to explain what I am really asking him about, in order to show me the irrelevance of my shoe…[Read more]

What’s the big deal with virgins? Are they supposed to be better in bed?

That hasn’t been my experience.

Or is it that an inexperienced girl won’t recognize the inexperience of their partner?

Hahaha Robert, first laugh of the day duly initiated 😂

I have often asked Muslims how the “72 Virgins” deal works. Do they keep getting reborn as virgins every time you “visit with them”. If not and they grow old can you get new ones every 100 years or something like that or does Allah insist you remaining faithful to your own 72 forever. Do you have to go shopping with them afterwards to hold the…[Read more]

I will stand corrected on any or all of the following as it mostly just my opinion.

Jewish people tend to be liberal in their attitudes (liberal in the sense Strega used it – not Orthodox) and are progressives on the core issues of civil rights for all citizens, more open to immigration and strongly support the separation of Church and State.…[Read more]

So, I guess you’re voting for Trump.

It’s taking on a new life……

I think that ultimately Israel will have to decide what to do when the Muslim population exceeds the Jewish population. How, then, to remain a Jewish state? Expel Muslims? Exterminate Muslims? Disenfranchise Muslims? Is there a Plan D?

I have friends recently back from Jerusalem who described the situation with Bibi in similar terms .

Our zoom meetings can be super bizarre with sirens and such going on.

I speak with a friend in Ukraine and it is not unusual to cut the call when we hear Iranian drones overhead. A sound that will never be forgotten.

I was on a phone call with my Israeli client earlier today. We spent ten minutes on work and then shot the breeze for a couple of hours.

He asked me about the US elections. I asked him how he felt about Netanyahu and his reply was fascinating. Along the lines of:

Personally he hates Bibi but that’s because all the liberals hate him. The O…[Read more]

@ Jake

If it’s your belief that two wrongs make a right sometimes, just admit it.

The pager/cell phone attack probably qualifies under most definitions of international terror because there was never any guarantee that only Hamas members would receive them or always be the ones in possession of  them or that innocent civilians would not be killed or maimed.

The nature of the injuries also fits into the terror…[Read more]

Without denying that antisemitism exists, please quit this broad brush fallacy (the fallacy of composition) that all of us who decry Israel’s heavy-handed and indiscriminate conduct of the war.

A few words from that pro-Naxi antisemite—by your definition—Bernie Sanders (from four months ago, so the stats he gives are much worse by now…[Read more]

Actually, I used Gemini AI and I never mentioned dogs, cats, or geese in the instructions. I used frogs and toads, I think. Nor did I mention Haitians to keep me from getting blocked. I’m not sure I would have, but just to be safe.

Was that poem written by Catgpt?

A SONNET ON SPRINGFIELD’S HAITIANS

Beneath the moon, a gruesome feast they hold,
Those dusky Haitians, their hunger set loose.
Their plates are piled with dishes both hot and cold,
Beloved cats and dogs plus the occasional goose.

With gusto they devour the delicious flesh.
Their laughter echoes through the frightful wood,
A macabre scene, a…[Read more]

Jake, I want some of whatever you’re toking, drinking or inhaling

please… 😎

Ryan Routh had spent time in Ukraine and I had wondered why he had not thought to use a drone, giving the volume of drones used in the war against Russia. My friend in Ukraine said the same to me the following day.
