Re: Why are Jews persecuted throughout history?
Jenifer:
Words can mean whatever we want them to mean, but one must question whether a definition is useful or not. Your redefinition of the word "Jew" is not particularly useful and is conducive to confusion and misunderstanding. Ordinarily, one does not call someone a "Jew" unless he or she is either a believer, not in just any old Abrahamic religion, but in a specific one -- the oldest of them -- or else a member of the familial or ethnic group of the same name. Or both. A Christian or Muslim is a practitioner of an Abrahamic religion, but to call a Christian or Muslim a Jew on that basis is to deprive the word of essential meaning. While I understand your criticism of the Abrahamic religions, your conflating them with patriarchy or authoritarianism generally is unwarranted. Patriarchy has roots going back at least to the beginning of civilization, and is therefore older than Judaism. Authoritarianism is perhaps even older than patriarchy. Again, you are expanding the limits of what constitutes a Jew to the point of rendering the concept meaningless. I cannot really understand why this is of any value. |

Re: Why are Jews persecuted throughout history?
The Jew™ hates a thinker precisely for the same reason a robber dislikes a sheriff, or a thief despises the prosecuting witness. Tyranny likes courtiers, flatterers, followers, fawners, and superstition wants believers, disciples, zealots, hypocrites, and subscribers. Collectivism demands worship -- the very thing that no one should give to any being, human or perceived divine. To worship another is to degrade one's self. Worship is awe and dread and vague fear and blind hope. It is the spirit of worship that elevates the one and degrades the many; that builds palaces for robbers, erects monuments to crime, and forges manacles even for its own hands. The spirit of worship is the spirit of tyranny. The worshiper always regrets that he is not the worshiped. We should all remember that the intellect has no knees, and that whatever the attitude of the body may be, the brave soul is always found erect. Whoever worships, abdicates. Whoever believes at the command of power, tramples his own individuality beneath his feet, and voluntarily robs himself of all that renders man superior to the brute.

TSGracchus : Your redefinition of the word "Jew" is not particularly useful and is conducive to confusion and misunderstanding.
Only in the context of Judaism, is there such a thing as a Jew. Anyone that tries to define a Jew outside the context of Judaism, which is the objective of The Jew™, is denying reality. It should be no surprise to anyone, that using a sock puppet mentality to have dominion over another, which is denying right from wrong, would also deny reality. |

Re: Why are Jews persecuted throughout history?
Is the Bible, the inspired word of God?
It must be admitted that if an infinite Being is the author of the Bible, this Being would know all facts, understand the manifested of all sciences that produce objective reality, and could not have made one mistake. It should be a book that is 100% true. It should contain the perfection of philosophy, politics, and nature. It should be perfectly in accordance with every fact in nature. There should be no mistakes in astronomy, geology, biology, or of any subject in science. Its morality should be the highest, and the purest. Its laws and regulations for the control of conduct should be just, wise, perfect, and perfectly adapted to the accomplishment of the ends desired in idealism. It should be filled with intelligence, justice, purity, honesty, mercy and the spirit of liberty, by containing nothing to make man cruel, revengeful, vindictive or infamous. It should be opposed to strife and war, to slavery and lust, to ignorance, credulity and superstition. By being true, it should develop the brain and civilize the heart by being the heart and brain of the best and wisest. Nothing can be clearer than the fact that there are mistakes, misconceptions, false theories, ignorant myths and blunders in the Bible, which proves it had have to have been written by finite beings; that is to say, by ignorant and mistaken men. The millions who continue to believe the Bible as being absolutely true by containing no mistakes; that the story of creation was true; that its astronomy, geology and biology are in accord with the facts, which differs with all the claims of the scientists of objective reality, have no concept of the real GOD, TRUTH. The true infidels, atheists and criminals, are the bible thumping believers that have no concept of right from wrong, perpetrate the fraud of the false bible god, by having no concept of reality, truth. |

In addition to attributing so many logical fallacies to Jenifer Johnson, we can add plagiarism.

Re: Why are Jews persecuted throughout history?
Si modo,
Plagiarism isn't a logical fallacy, but thinking plagiarism is a logical fallacy, is the logical fallacy. Plagiarism is trying to personally benefit off of someone else's intellectual property, as in selling it for personal gain. I'm not selling anything here for personal benefit, only trying to enlighten others to reality. Stating the truth is not plagiarism, because No one owns the truth. A good example of plagiarism is the bible, by trying to create a political system of collective control, to benefit the ones in control. There are numerous elements in the Book of Genesis’s Flood Story that mirrors The Epic Of Gilgamesh from hundreds of years earlier. Even Jesus’s story is an obvious rehashing of numerous previous characters. The whole objective of The Jew™ is to personally benefit from the political control, which is plagiarism. Stating truth for the benefit of the audience, to free themselves from the slavery of mind control, is the opposite of plagiarism. Robert G. Ingersoll was only able to do it better than I. |

Re: Why are Jews persecuted throughout history?
But your strawman stating that I said it was one, is.
Plagiarism is dishonest. Plagiarism is academic dishonesty and lacks any academic integrity. You practiced plagiarism. You used the words of another and did not cite the work of the other. You did not give that person the credit they were due. That is plagiarism. Not only is that a violation of forum rules, it is academically dishonest.

Si modo : You practiced plagiarism.
You haven't proved that I personally benefited. Everything that has been said, has been said by those that came before them. By your own criteria, you have plagiarized everything you have said, by not giving your teachers credit. |
