@Matthias how does one go from not believing the biblical stories, like Noah's Ark, to believing them, despite all of the archeological evidence that points to no worldwide flood ever taking place? We can't pick and choose which parts of the bible we want to believe are true while discarding...

Well, not many Arab countries have attacked Israel. Iran has because it's Iran. Victim blaming. The fact of the matter is, God had the power to stop it and didn't. The Jewish children were innocent. But God let them die, too.

In Israel's favor. Their technology is far superior to anything the Arabs have been able to produce... or buy and then "upgrade". Russian produced T-72 export with some off the shelf upgrades. It might look a little fancy, but it's still cold war tech that's poorly maintained with a poorly...

Well, this probably changes things...

They were almost annihilated at the hands of the Nazis. Where was their God at when they were being systematically executed in the death camps?

They've tried it in the past and the Arabs lost. Twice. (1967 & 1973)

And it didn't end well for them. The Arabs learned not to go to war with the Israelis.

Yes, Pakistan has them, too. But most countries that have them have no intention of ever using them. They are a deterrent. Also, listen to what you're saying. The Muslim world hate each other more than they hate the Israelis. In what scenario would Saudi Arabia team up with Iran to destroy...

I agree. It'll never happen. Israel has nuclear weapons.

It's okay. I understand everyone has strong feelings on the subject. My hope is that this ceasefire holds and that we won't have to revisit war with Iran in the near future.

Yeah, Trump is really pissed off over this and I don't blame him one bit. They didn't censor the language here, just so everyone is aware. But it's from the President and irs on topic, so I posted it. If the mods say otherwise, I'll remove it.

And now we have this good news from the President. Edit: Pakistan has nominated President Trump for the Nobel peace prize. :D

If it's any consolation, it's far more likely that all of the world's religions are wrong, and that we simply cease to exist after death.

You seem very fond of calling other people slow. In psychology, we call this projection. :D

I don't believe in unicorns or space aliens either. Not believing in something is the opposite of religion. Religion is the belief in something.

If they do decide to close the Strait of Hormuz, that'll most certainly bolster the position of those calling for regime change.

Same. I talk philosophy with them all the time.

Yep. I thunk truth is something that is verifiable. Like the theory of gravity. If there is a supernatural truth, I don't know what to do with it. Nor do I know how to find it. I'd like to know, too. Richard Dawkins now refers to himself as "culturally Christian". It's an interesting term...
