Ok, although Christians probably wouldn't retaliate with military airstrikes. Secondly, a bit of misinformation, as far as I'm aware only injuries were incurred with what happened al Asqa mosque. I posted a timeline of events deliberately to show that both sides blame each other for...

For weeks, Palestinians had been protesting the planned eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem, leading to clashes with Israeli police and far-right-wing activists. There were also clashes between Palestinian protesters and the police elsewhere in...

That's because Israel has a defence against missiles (Iron Dome) that blocks something like 90% of missiles. Israel has better defence systems then Gaza. Hence why only 12 were killed in Israel, compared to 248 in Gaza (1959 wounded) While I do agree the response from Israel was...

Sorry don't think there is any and if there was they have since been removed or were old syllabus. Ask your teacher for past questions from previous years.

Maybe a good aim of this thread is to come up with some questions for people to ask regarding assessment of stuff: Does a religion's main message still make sense if God doesn't exist? If so, then the religion is either not a religion, or is man-made. Does the character of the person on which...

Lol, I would expect that by now, we would found direct evidence of its fabrication. Take the one thing that would proof for sure that Christianity was made up by the disciples. Just produce the dead body of Jesus and there you have it, Christianity disproven. And the Jews and Romans had ample...

Your whole post hangs on what is considered 'valid or direct evidence'. If by valid evidence you only consider 'scientific evidence' aka. more specifically what you can see, touch or hear. Then you have a lot of problems. I was more challenging your based assumption that historical books (e.g...

That's presumptuous. The Bible can be weighed up the same as any testimony. Christ had to come when the Roman Empire was in power. And the miracles all are tied up with him. So no its not bizarre at all. Secondly, God intended that people would rely on the testimony of those eyewitnesses (who...

You do realise I am not rejecting it solely on the basis of incomplete evidence. What I was suggesting is that as I see, some of evolution theory is an argument from ignorance not evidence; but more importantly than even within the scientific community, the explanation of origin of the human...

I do believe the Bible is historical (e.g. I personally believe in a literal Adam and Eve), however it is a misreading of Genesis to necessitate it was 6 days, its textual form is different from the rest of Genesis. And you don't have to hold to a young earth creationism to affirm the...

They is generally in most cases plural (it carries that connotation with it) e.g. referring to groups of people he/she is strictly singular. It's tends to be grammatically incorrect in formal speech to use they, but in casual conversations its quite common. e.g. this is clearest when paired...

The Holy Fire is fraudulent and at best is procured naturally. In his book, the journalist Dimitris Alikakos presents an interview with the skeuophylax Archbishop Isidoros of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, in which the former admits that the "Sleepless Candle", which he, himself, puts into the...

Interesting choice of words. Why does God have to be equated with mythical being? That word carries the assumption of fictional/made-up. Faith in God is not in some possibly mythical being, rather than a personal God who has revealed himself chiefly through Christ Jesus. Regarding the...

How this conflict unfolded? May 5 - Israeli government hung parliament. May 6 - Two Palestinians killed in classes with IDF May 7-8 - Police deployed at Temple Mount. Worshippers pelted previously stockpiled rocks at Israeli police who retaliated with stun grenades & the like; including inside...

Clearly getting my extremist Islamic groups confused. But apparently the President of the National Authority of Palestine claimed that back in 2008. And apparently they were funded by Iran until they supported Assad in Syria in '09. So my information was correct only 13 years out of date. Nah...

I meant iran. whoops. clearly it is late. i've amended my post

I understand it can be used as an expression. However that is not how it was used in the post I was addressing... I was addressing 'stressedasaffff'' post. I don't think a militant Islamic extremist group, like Hamas, even if their actions in the current context are in defence; has God on its...

Edit: Now that's ridiculous, I don't agree that a militant organisation like Hamas which is funded by the likes of Iran/other Arabic countries, is mere self defence.

*don't. I have a problem where I often make this kind of typo. Where I mean one thing but forget to put it in the negative when I type it. I've edited it to fix this typo. What I meant to say is that I don't think either side has God on their side. I've amended the original post.

Don't hear me as not condemning the attacks, I'm also not condoning the retaliation either by the other side. Nor sure which side you are referring to as having God and the other having the strongest military. Overall, I personally don't think either side has God on their side. [Technically]...
