##English log about “Who the hell was Qoheleth”
messa4 | hi rindolf |
rindolf | messa4: hi, welcome to ##English . |
rindolf | messa4: where we discuss everything and anything - mostly in English. |
messa4 | whats hypersexual? haha never heard this term before |
rindolf | messa4: a hypersexual is someone with a large sex drive. |
messa4 | haha |
rindolf | messa4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersexuality |
messa4 | thats good. that means that u are healthy male |
rindolf | messa4: yes. |
messa4 | totally normal. thats why ppl should get married. otherwise u will go insane haha |
rindolf | messa4: I think I hit second puberty now at close to 36. |
rindolf | messa4: my first one was at 18. |
rindolf | messa4: heh. |
messa4 | i think that most man are like that |
messa4 | including me |
messa4 | so bassicly |
messa4 | if u get job u should be married hehe |
messa4 | for me lack of job is only reason why im single for example. money is the key |
rindolf | messa4: I have a story in mind about the guy who wrote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastes , whom after writing it (while being young and not-yet-married) becomes the talk of his city (= Damascus), and every single woman there wants him for herself, which drives him mad. |
messa4 | why mad?! :D |
messa4 | i would be happy haha |
rindolf | messa4: thing is - it was one of the best pieces of philosophy that Damascus has seen for years. |
rindolf | messa4: well, he is Jewish and does not want to have sex with virgins. |
rindolf | messa4: which is forbidden. |
messa4 | WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAt |
messa4 | WHAAAT |
messa4 | so how they loose their virignity?! |
rindolf | messa4: after getting married to a virgin. |
rindolf | messa4: and having sex with her. |
rindolf | messa4: it's even more complicated for a Priest. |
rindolf | But he is from the tribe of Jehudah. |
messa4 | im cofuzed |
rindolf | messa4: his family was Jewish as far as he could tell. |
messa4 | so he dont want to sleep with virgins AT ALL? or just BEFORE MARRIAGE? |
rindolf | messa4: just before marriage. |
messa4 | ahh then its ok |
messa4 | so why not just marry and divorce like thousands of times haha |
messa4 | if every single woman wants him |
messa4 | i would do that :d |
messa4 | you got divorces in judaism? |
mollies | rindolf, hi |
rindolf | messa4: anyway, eventually he goes to the house of his friends, who are Greek, with whom he made the bet of being able to write there. |
rindolf | messa4: and he meets there their younger sister. |
rindolf | mollies: hi. |
rindolf | messa4: we have divorces, yes. |
messa4 | rindolf: tell me more. what he do with that sister hahaah. thats neat story |
rindolf | messa4: he can also marry more than one girl (up to reason) but he wants to marry a Jewess (so he'll have Jewish children) |
messa4 | thats intresting |
messa4 | i never know that jews can have more then one wife |
messa4 | knew* |
rindolf | messa4: this sister resembles my own, and is quite oblivious to social norms. |
rindolf | messa4: well, they no longer can usually. |
messa4 | but i mean from religion perspective. not law |
rindolf | messa4: some Jews are given explicit permission for that, but it's an exception. |
messa4 | permission by who? |
rindolf | messa4: yes, the Bible allows that. |
messa4 | thats so intersting |
rindolf | messa4: permission by the Rabinnat. |
messa4 | i never ever heard about it before. total ignorance |
rindolf | messa4: one of the European Rabbis decided to prevent polygamy. |
rindolf | messa4: which was accepted globally eventually. |
rindolf | messa4: bigamy is one wife too many. |
messa4 | but how one rabbi can change the meaning of bible[or whatever is used for this law]? |
messa4 | thats one thing that i hate about modern religions: ppl are modyfing it |
messa4 | unacepptable for me |
rindolf | messa4: anyway, so this sister, which I have nicknamed Horkeneah, sort of empathises with him, and tells him that she thought that the Scroll of Qoheleth was "allright' and better than the usual crap. |
rindolf | messa4: thing is: they talked to her as a baby, and taught her Greek and Aramic and she also learned to read and write, and is super-intelligent, and stuff like that. |
rindolf | messa4: and she's become a persona non-grata in several of the schools of philosophy in the city, for criticising what was said there. |
rindolf | messa4: and as it turns out she is actually Damascus' Alpha Female. |
rindolf | She had many suitors who proposed to her, but she rejected them all. |
rindolf | he asks her if she's a Lesbian, and she tells him that's not up her alley. |
messa4 | WAIT. whats "Scroll of Qohelet" |
rindolf | And then he (= Joseph, the guy who wrote Ecclesiastes) suddenly falls in love with her and asks her if she loves him. |
messa4 | and what she said? |
rindolf | So she tells him that she doesn't but she's really infatuated with him, and thinks the scroll was awesome, and that she also thinks that love in marriage is overrated. |
rindolf | messa4: Qoheleth is the Hebrew name for Ecclesiastes. It is the original name. |
rindolf | messa4: the story is called “So who the hell was Qoheleth?” |
rindolf | And it's also the opening story. |
rindolf | And it's also the opening line. |
messa4 | ok |
messa4 | what she said?! |
messa4 | so she said NO in general? |
messa4 | and what he said then? |
rindolf | He's getting asked that by a fellow Jew, who tells him that writing such good work of philosophy, although blasphemous was a huge "respect" for the Jews. |
messa4 | please dont tell me thats the end of story |
rindolf | messa4: no, she said yes. |
rindolf | messa4: it's not. |
messa4 | ahh ok :) |
messa4 | so they got married without love? |
rindolf | messa4: anyway, she tells him that her family was full of infidelity and outer-marriage relationships and other stuff like that - all because of love. |
messa4 | thats kinda ok if they are religious |
messa4 | ok. i see where this is going |
rindolf | messa4: while in his side, people did not expect to remain in love forever, and just stayed married. |
rindolf | messa4: so it works better that way. |
rindolf | messa4: eventually, she falls in love with him too. |
messa4 | that might be true actually |
messa4 | haha |
rindolf | messa4: anyway, she converts to Judaism and then they get married. |
messa4 | so why u think that love is evil?! |
rindolf | And then they travel to Alexandria. |
messa4 | ohh shit its not the end?! : |
rindolf | messa4: well, it's more like an elaborate joke. |
messa4 | ok im lisetning |
rindolf | messa4: the Love == Evil and Evil == Love. |
rindolf | messa4: well, most of the story is their trip through Phoenicia, Haifa and the Carmel heights, and later on Jaffa. |
rindolf | messa4: she becomes ill at Jaffa, and Joseph treats her (he's also a doctor) |
messa4 | but they got married, in love AND in religous way. so where is the evil? |
rindolf | messa4: and her life is spared. |
messa4 | Jaffa - like oranges? :D |
rindolf | messa4: that's something eles, unrelated. |
rindolf | messa4: yes, the older city south of Tel Aviv. |
rindolf | messa4: are you European? |
rindolf | messa4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa |
messa4 | i know its a city. but its very famous for Jaffa oranges |
rindolf | messa4: yes. |
rindolf | messa4: not sure they grow a lot of oranges there any more. |
messa4 | i never knew that its in israel |
rindolf | Jaffa oranges is a brand. |
rindolf | messa4: heh. |
messa4 | you know whole palestine-israel thing issues :) |
messa4 | we are kinda behind here |
rindolf | messa4: Israel now imports some citrus fruit because it's cheaper to import them, because those from Israel cost more than the imports. |
rindolf | messa4: behind? |
messa4 | behind with all news |
messa4 | things like map of israel |
messa4 | etc |
messa4 | its changed a lot in past 40 years |
messa4 | but nvm |
messa4 | its shame that u have to import oranges. goverment should substitude them |
rindolf | messa4: well, that's life. |
rindolf | messa4: well, not sure about Oranges, but we have many other citrus fruit. |
rindolf | messa4: what do you mean by "substitude" them? |
messa4 | goverment should pay the farmers some premium. for example 1$ per 5kg of oranges |
messa4 | so they could compete with prices of cyprus/whatever oranges |
messa4 | most farmers in european union are getting paid by goverment in such way |
messa4 | otherwise we would be flooded by cheap food from china or whatever |
messa4 | and farmers would bankrupt |
rindolf | messa4: anyway, the story will have a lot of "into-the-future" stuff like the Arabian warfare, cognitive therapy of treating depression, and a Jewish priest they meet in Jaffa who had been practising throwing knives, and throws one a centimetre from Joseph. |
messa4 | haha. im waiting for my own CBT therapy haha |
rindolf | messa4: which causes Horkenah->Rivkah to first feel afraid, and then lustful. |
messa4 | whats Horkenah? |
rindolf | messa4: that's the name of the girl he marries. |
messa4 | ahh ok :D |
rindolf | messa4: his sister in effect - of Greek descent. |
messa4 | anyway. it might be grt be great story but its a lottlebit too complex for average people i think :) |
messa4 | be great* |
messa4 | littlebit* |
rindolf | messa4: I think one reason the Jewish scriptures survived intact was that every Jewish scholar was required to memorise the whole thing. |
rindolf | Like we now have with git. |
rindolf | messa4: yeah, maybe. |
mollies | rindolf, support your economy, buy local fruits :P |
rindolf | messa4: I have some more accessible stuff at http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/stories/ |
rindolf | mollies: heh. |
messa4 | rindolf: i always though that jews have their old scriptures preserved. |
rindolf | mollies: I drink quite a lot of Orange Juice and lemonade. |
messa4 | mollies: hehe yeah |
rindolf | messa4: we do. Most of them at least. |
rindolf | messa4: some of them were lost. |
mollies | i don't drink orange juice but i eat oranges |
rindolf | messa4: there are much fewer corpora in Hebrew, Aramaic, Persian, etc. than in Greek or Latin. |
rindolf | messa4: in part because the Christians copies Greek and Latin all across Europe which was never united under a single reign. |
rindolf | messa4: while the Near East suffered a lot of destruction. |
messa4 | rindolf: tell me more about marriage. So jews can marry multiple woman if they have permission yes? that permission is from local priest/scholar or its like some top scholar in country? |
binders | there's the perseus corpora for greek, latin and arabic |
rindolf | messa4: well, it depends if you're a religious Jew. |
messa4 | religous |
messa4 | not by the law but religion |
rindolf | messa4: and even religious Jewish men can have affairs with divorcees. |
rindolf | messa4: OK. |
rindolf | messa4: in general, you can only marry one woman at a time. |
rindolf | messa4: but there are very few excpetions. |
messa4 | for example? |
rindolf | messa4: the Jewish religion often discriminates against men or against women. |
messa4 | rindolf: thats ok. just tell me. i want to know facts no- no judgment :) |
rindolf | messa4: OK. |
rindolf | messa4: I'm not an authority about the Jewish Halachah. |
rindolf | I mean the Jewish tradition. |
messa4 | thats ok. just tell me what u know |
rindolf | messa4: the English wikipedia has pretty good coverage. |
rindolf | messa4: I cannot tell you everything. |
messa4 | just tell me those few exceptions that u know :) |
rindolf | messa4: some men and women have dedicated their life to study Judaism, and there are still things they don't know. |
rindolf | messa4: OK. |
rindolf | messa4: the son or daughter of a Jewish woman is Jewish. |
rindolf | messa4: on the other hand, the son or daughter of a Jewish man is not necessarily one. |
rindolf | messa4: and it gets wackier with adoptions. |
rindolf | According to the Jewish tradition, a Jewess must not give away her offspring. |
rindolf | And it's hard to know what happens if she does. |
rindolf | messa4: there's also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofer , which were once considered verboten for females. |
rindolf | messa4: moreover, homosexual intercourse among men is forbidden in the Bible, but not among two females. |
messa4_ | got disconnected |
rindolf | messa4_: so did I , heh. |
messa4_ | what u typed after "And it's hard to know what happens if she does." yes u got too |
rindolf | messa4_: <rindolf> messa4: there's also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofer , which were once considered verboten for females. |

rindolf | <rindolf> messa4: moreover, homosexual intercourse among men is forbidden in the Bible, but not among two females. |
rindolf | messa4_: BTW, a woman can become a Rav. |
messa4_ | haha thats crazy |
messa4_ | whats "rav" ? |
rindolf | messa4_: a Rav is a Jew who can hold ceremonies. |
rindolf | messa4_: like marry people, etc. |
messa4_ | like rabbie? |
rindolf | messa4_: a Rabbi is something else - it's a community leader. |
messa4_ | ok |
rindolf | messa4_: though these terms are confused. |
messa4_ | but nvm. so what about polygamy? in what sitations its allowed |
rindolf | messa4_: a RAv is something like an M.A. in Judaism - requires a lot of study. |
messa4_ | rindolf: for me its totally new. i never heard about Rav before. like most ppl in europe propably :| |
rindolf | messa4_: my friend's wife became a Rav and got an M.A. in the process. |
rindolf | messa4_: OK. |
messa4_ | but lets go back to polygamy |
mollies | lol |
messa4_ | without all background stories hehe |
rindolf | messa4_: there isn't a lot of work as a Rav, so she was looking for a job. |
rindolf | messa4_: OK. |
rindolf | messa4_: well, a woman cannot have more than one husband. |
rindolf | messa4_: and the child of a married woman from her non-husband cannot be married. |
mollies | rindolf, i dont think polygamy has ever been allowed |
rindolf | mollies: it was. |
messa4_ | cant be married by NO ONE? |
mollies | but anyways, i need some zzz |
rindolf | mollies: in the Near East. |
rindolf | mollies: King Solomon had 200 wives and 800 mistresses. |
mollies | rindolf, people do it, but it's now allowed in the OT |
mollies | now/not |

rindolf | messa4_: there was something about a Jewish scholar who married someone who could only stay in the Land of Israel, and when he moved to .us was given permission to marry another woman. |
cntrational | http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=52514229&postcount=49 |

Richard_Cavell | ok |
rindolf | messa4_: sorry for delaying the answer. |

rindolf | messa4_: a woman cannot initiate a divorce in Judaism. :-( |
messa4_ | please continue talking about judaism if u want. Its very intresting for me. |

Maxdamantus | So it's the same suffix as in Arabic. |

rindolf | Maxdamantus: yes. |
cntrational | interesting |
messa4_ | thats the nanswer haha. |
Maxdamantus | Does your last name mean anything? |
rindolf | Maxdamantus: it's not Shalomi due to various Hebrew grammar laws. |
rindolf | Maxdamantus: it means the sea-animal in English or German. |
Maxdamantus | rindolf: what would "my starling" be? |
cntrational | Maxdamantus: according to his faq, it means "fish" |
rindolf | Maxdamantus: well, it's with an English spelling. |

rindolf | Richard_Cavell: http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/FAQ/#your_name - pronunciation here in ogg and mp3 |
ron | actually, fish in Hebrew would be pronounced closer to Dug than Dag. |
rindolf | Richard_Cavell: no. |
cntrational | huh, iw is an odd choice |
messa4_ | rindolf: in my country we had a LOT of hasidic jews before war. are they the same kind of jewish ppl who are living in israel? or its minority or what? [ imean in religous part of population] |
rindolf | Richard_Cavell: you don't translate names. |
cntrational | i'd expect iv |
Maxdamantus | That's my last name. |
Maxdamantus | It's the same in Hebrew, apparently. |
rindolf | messa4_: there are many Hasidic Jews here. |
* Stooge | (~Stooge@cable-84-43-188-193.mnet.bg) has joined |
rindolf | messa4_: but there's a large rift between Hasidic Jews and non-Hasidic Jews. |
rindolf | messa4_: Judaism is pretty fractures. |
messa4_ | rindolf: do they speak hebrew or other launguage? [forgot the name: mix of polish, german, russian etc. ] |
cntrational | rindolf: do you know any yiddish or ladino or other jewish languages? |
cntrational | other than hebrew, of course |
rindolf | messa4_: but we are all united against our common enemy - the Goys! |
messa4_ | yiddish! |
ron | So... is there such a phrase in English as 'friend brings friend'? I'm looking to promote a hiring process by giving employees a referral bonus if they bring us people to the company. |
messa4_ | whaaat |
rindolf | messa4_: most of them also speak Hebrew. |
cntrational | .w goy |
la_fen | goy — noun: 1. A non-Jew, a Gentile |
rindolf | messa4_: well, technically, I'm an Orthodox Jew. |
messa4_ | rindolf: jews seriosly see non jews as enemis?! :D |
messa4_ | i mean religous one |
Richard_Cavell | rindolf: So how can you have an English word as your surname? |
rindolf | messa4_: it's just a part of Jewish elitism. |
* smgs808 | (Smorgasboa@unaffiliated/smorgasboard) has left |
rindolf | Richard_Cavell: my Polish-Jewish grandfather carried it. |
messa4_ | rindolf: so religious jews in israel would not like be just becasue im not jewish? :| |
rindolf | messa4_: well... |
cntrational | Richard_Cavell: it's likely from German fisch, but the /ʃ/ sound is usually transliterated "sh" from hebrew |
messa4_ | thats kidna harsh |
messa4_ | kinda* |
Zetetic | Good old religion |
rindolf | messa4_: Jews see themselves as the guiding light of humanity - who are set to set a moral example. |
rindolf | messa4_: it was not uncommon among other people of the Near East. |
rindolf | But only Jews have maintained their identity. |
Zetetic | Which if you read the holy book is pretty laughable |
rindolf | In part due to their belief in Jehovah. |
ron | I don't see myself as guiding the light of humanity. |
messa4_ | messa4_: ok its ok. but im just confused: so for example I have sympathy for hasidic jews [becasue of common history] but now they suddenly dont like me becasue im goy? :( |
rindolf | ron: I do. |
rindolf | ron: I aim to be an example, and to lead and not follow. |
Maxdamantus | 20:07:39 < Maxdamantus> rindolf: can you pronounce זרזירי as well? |
messa4_ | welcome back |
rindolf | ron: and my stories reflect reality as I want it to become, rather than as badly as I or other people perceive it. |
messa4_ | rindolf: ok its ok. but im just confused: so for example I have sympathy for hasidic jews [becasue of common history] but now they suddenly dont like me becasue im goy? :( |
ron | rindolf: that's because you're an elitist. |
rindolf | Maxdamantus: Zarziri. |
rindolf | Maxdamantus: Zarzir is a kind of bird. |
Maxdamantus | Interesting. |
Maxdamantus | Yeah. |
rindolf | ron: I iz an elitist. |
Richard_Cavell | messa4_: Thanks. Sorry that my computer hanged and I didn't read anything since the last thing I typed |
Maxdamantus | That's my name. |
rindolf | messa4_: they could like you. |
Maxdamantus | but it's actually in Arabic, but only the vowels are different. |
Maxdamantus | only the second one, apparently. |
rindolf | messa4_: and if you're a man, you can marry a Jewess and have Jewish children, and all will be fine. |
ron | rindolf: and you make generalizations, which make non-orthodox jews wary of you. |
messa4_ | Richard_Cavell: that was my quote heh. we all got disconnections here |
rindolf | ron: I make some generalisations, and I apologise for that. |
rindolf | ron: I also can be stereotypical. |
ron | rindolf: no kidding. |
rindolf | ron: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/TOWTF/ - this story is fully of cheap stereotypes. |
messa4_ | rindolf: so its just a matter of "taste" or all hasidic jews in israel suddenly dont like goys from europe/whatever? |
messa4_ | and i mean from religious point of view. |
rindolf | messa4_: well, it's not exclusive to Hasidic Jews. |
rindolf | messa4_: and we like goys. |
rindolf | messa4_: just that we consider Jews as "ones of our own". |
rindolf | messa4_: it's complicated. |
rindolf | messa4_: BTW, are you a software dev? |
Maxdamantus | So I'm a bird, rindolf's a fish. |

messa4 | so they were very angly. its like supporting opposing side during the war. so in most dumb decision ever they decided them to send them all to israel |

messa4 | for example: "what if torah would be closed source" :D |
I-Love-Boobies | Not because they want to be bad, but because they think their ideology provides absolute morality. |

I-Love-Boobies | messa4: It's not values that establish the validity of something---it's evidence. |
Maxdamantus | messa4: being able to change values makes more sense than accepting that values should all come from second-hand accounts of what some guy said 2000 years ago. |
messa4 | Maxdamantus: there are some fist hand accounts in other religions (like islam) |
Maxdamantus | or 1400 years ago, or whatever. |
Maxdamantus | Yes, or even first-hand accounts 1400 years ago. |
messa4 | anyway. i would rater belive in value system that is CONSTANT for thousand year. then for system that is changing by 180* in just few dacades |
I-Love-Boobies | Islam did well for itself, didn't it. The greatest civilization went to shit as soon as math and religion collided. |
messa4 | 70 yares ago it was ok to shoot jew in germany. now its evil. fuck that kind of value system |
rindolf | I think the only difference between Star Trek/Buffy/The Greek Mythology/etc. and the Bible is that some people think the Bible is The Word of God. |
I-Love-Boobies | messa4: Nice values, too. Should they keep them? |
Maxdamantus | messa4: people come up with new value systems (religions) all the time. |

messa4 | jews are still beliving in judaism |
messa4 | and still practising its laws [orthodox] |
I-Love-Boobies | The laws from back then were developed by humans too. Except they were more crewel becasue we didn't lean how to be a society yet. |
Maxdamantus | messa4: Christianity replaced Judaism for many people. |
messa4 | anyway i dont care my friends. for me mix religious laws + scientific progress is way to go. i dont want any social progress at all |
Maxdamantus | messa4: you seem to contradict yourself. |
Maxdamantus | messa4: is Christianity legitimate or not? |
messa4 | u asking in general or my personal belief? |
Maxdamantus | messa4: it's one of the religions you listed, but it's just a belief system that replaced another (Judaism). |
Maxdamantus | Your personal belief. |
I-Love-Boobies | Also, even if you might have heard otherwise, science and religion are in contradiction to one another. |

I-Love-Boobies | True. |
I-Love-Boobies | Maxdamantus: I mean even Catholics disagree in their interpretations in ways that agree which each individual views on other things. |
Maxdamantus | The Catholic church believed in purgatory until a few years ago. |
Maxdamantus | afk |
Maxdamantus | and Islam and Judaism are in no way constant either. |
messa4 | and seriously: why follow some law made by politician, when we could follow law made thousand years ago. even if u dont belive in it - its more realible and STABLE. nothing worse then unstable law [in one minute u can kill all jews by signing single law] |
Maxdamantus | rindolf was talking earlier about how scholars *believe* particular things. |
Maxdamantus | Based on the way they understand the Torah |
messa4 | Maxdamantus: islam is constant. thats why its so primitive and archaic. not even single letter was changed in quran since beggining, and all laws are the same. thats why they are so strange |
messa4 | but its ok for me personally |

I-Love-Boobies | messa4: The source of our dislike is quite simple: As long as there is no evidence for a belief, it merely paves the way for certain actions. In the case of all religions I know of, many of these actions are wicked. |
