To me being a closed minded, Democrat or Republican is the same as the triblism of the Iraq goverment or people. What is the differents between our Congress and the Iraq goverment. Our government does not blow up or kill the others tribes. We kill by guilt trips and character assasination.
Especially the Democratic party. It all comes down to you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. When Religion controls one mine there is no room for Peace in the world. For what makes a suicide bomber. The controling factor is religon controlled by religious leaders and conviced those with weak minds that this is the way. I ask what have they build to better the way for mankind? Answer is nothing. There maybe a God, by what every the name, but devout religion has to go in the name of Peace. Robert

Hello Gary,

The average Jewish layperson can, without even looking up the verses you cite, recognize your comment as a crude and ignorant attempt at proselytizing.

Please avail yourself of an elementary education in the Hebrew Bible.
