Thread Name: BS: Monsey's (non) Kosher Chicken Crisis
Subject: RE: BS: Monsey's (non) Kosher Chicken Crisis
Let me start by saying that I am Jewish---born to that faith. I mention that so as to state that I am certainly not a devout person and, frankly, like logic and reason better than organized religion.
That said, I can continue to comments above regarding Holocaust, Tsunamis, etc; Like an ethnic comedian only one of the same ethnicity should make the jokes. I don't intend any humor here.
The writer above mentions "introspection" regarding a Tsunami and a "prvate reckoning regarding holocaust".
I fail to see the difference. A disaster has befallen people and the question to me is why, if you believe in this almighty being, do you feel we have to be introspective? Seems to me that both are hohorrible occurences. One made my man. One made by nature. Either way a disaster of great proportions.
If you say that God (note I left out the inane - ) (why not say Jawah) punished people in a Tsunami then it would have to follow--logically---that He (note the capital letter) also endorsed Adolf. One cannot have it both ways.
Nature is nature---and man is man---and is capable of terribly horrible acts---and also great ones. If you truly believe in some great diety and say that diety gave one the power to think logically then the rest is on the individual. Courts ---these days with psychiatrists---not withstanding.
Hope I covered most of the bases---and I do not even like baseball and that is the coin of reference these days.
