Live and let live, Moses.

Your namesake was pretty much the same, only he received these tablets from a burning bush that told him the right way to torture and execute those who disobey Gud's law. 

Y has a photo of the original tablets. Gud wrote to Moses in English, so that we would be able to understand them today. They tell Gud's chosen people not to kill, and then go into great detail on how they should be killed: burning, beheading, stoning, cutting off faces, breaking limbs.

Moses got the idea from Abraham, whom Gud told to kill Abraham's son, but then changed His mind and told him to cut off the end of his son's dick instead, along with all his descendents and slaves.

Gud called it the "blood covenant". Gud also asked his people to kill lambs and sprinkle the blood on their doorsteps. This was to stop Gud killing off their sons.

When they weren't burning and beheading and killing lambs to save their sons, Gud's chosen people were asked to kill gentiles. A king called David made quite a big deal out of it. Before he invaded the gentiles' cities and killed them, he cut off the end of their dicks and stacked all the flesh into a big pile before Gud.

Still, you can't say mean things about Gud's chosen people. That's anti-Semitism.

You shouldn't worry so much about Mo. We're all individuals, no?

No one has the right to not be offended.

It can't be Muhammed. Muhammed was illiterate. Unless he is using that book to beat someone to death...

You do know this is where the old boy posts his comic strip from Punch of Mo and Jesus drinking in a bar, don’t you?

What a jolly wheeze.

Yes, Moses, it’s the best I can do. The Koran is tame in comparison to the Old Testament. You’d know this if you read them.

No religious Jews I know are refuting the Torah, Do you know any? They believe it’s the immutable law for all time.

You use one principle for the Muslims and another for the Jews. Essentially, your argument comes down to "but the Jews aren’t the ones going around killing people".

Very true.

But somehow, despite this, they hold a tyrannical horror story as their religious text.- a much worse one than the Muslims use.

Like the Koran, it’s not all bad. I like Ecclesiastes and a few Psalms. But the laws are far worse than anything Mo proscribed. Indeed, Mo was a gentleman by comparison to.most of the Jewish prophets. Some had child brides, all had slaves, and many fought wars of expansion and terror.

So I ask you this: why do you let the Jews off scott-free? I don’t ask this to trip you up or make a cheap point, I’m genuinely curious why you don’t hate the laws of the Old Testament with the same zeal you hold for the Koran. Have I missed an important philosophical distinction?

Please explain.

They are not waging bloody jihad against the west, other Jews, Hindus, Christian, yazidis,

This must have completely eluded your attention, PB. You probably think it a small to irrelevant matter.

Ah ...Karnal at his best
Karnal likes to follow other people around on their posts and make childish comments...he has no capability of making any substantial comment himself  ..unless of course you wait for the once a month statement from him that has more than 10 words..which invariably means he has copied and pasted.
Good old Karnal..the person who will always fill up your thread with.....well something ...especially if Soren just happened to be the last post....
Everybody give a big thank you to Karnal...the man who just keeps on giving...
