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 <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.

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 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.

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

rindolf messa4: the earliest waves of Zionist immigrants were from Russia, Poland and Germany.
messa4 and imo u are wrong .second WW was about jews hehe. 1933-39 - major attacks on german jews. that gave the power to hitler to invade europe - people german ppl truly belived that it was all fault of jews - so war is OK
messa4 i think that 1933-39 is even more scarry then holocaust itself

rindolf furrykef: but many like https://www.google.com/search?q=ijustine are critical.
Maxdamantus furrykef: baah*
rindolf I mean they are self-critical.
rindolf furrykef: BTW, did you watch Sheep in the Big City? It was great.
furrykef I did! I loved that show.
furrykef It still isn't on DVD or anything yet, is it?
rindolf furrykef: yeah.
rindolf furrykef: don't think so.
Maxdamantus On a related note: https://gist.github.com/Maxdamantus/055d96b3f28d8facfb97/raw/146.png
furrykef It's like the show just got thrown under the bus.
I-Love-Boobies There is a difference between being a fan and the inability of recognizing evidence. Apple fanboys know what they're paying and have made their choice.

I-Love-Boobies Opinion vs fact.
furrykef Man, I just realized it was about ten years ago I was watching that show
messa4 back
I-Love-Boobies I liked that show, too, btw. :D
messa4 Maxdamantus: maybe u are right. but in my opinion: religion is ok. i woudln't mind to live under orthodox jews rule or in christian empire or under muslim calpiphate. for me religion maks more sense then constantly changing values and laws of modern politics

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.
Maxdamantus messa4: I don't think many people really have the same value system as JC.
messa4 Maxdamantus: Orthodox jews or muslims are bleiving the the same values and laws since day 1
messa4 for me this is way to go

messa4 even if ua re not religeious
Maxdamantus messa4: it'll be the one of the Anglican church in their country, or the Catholic church, or something.
Maxdamantus messa4: I think in the US there are like .. thousands of churches, each with their own belief systems.
Maxdamantus messa4: some churches there support gay marriage.
I-Love-Boobies Personally, I'd like to have a morality that is subject to discourse not some rigid rules that you can't change when they prove to be detrimental.
* shikhin (~shikhin@unaffiliated/shikhin) has joined
Maxdamantus messa4: 2000-year-old belief systems don't work.
I-Love-Boobies Or that require mental gymnastics to work around.
Maxdamantus messa4: very few people are really willing to believe them.
messa4 Maxdamantus: so what? enforce the law
Maxdamantus messa4: that's why you have what you have today—people don't REALLY believe others should be stoned for working on Sunday.
I-Love-Boobies Like in Christianity.
messa4 exactly like u enforce NORMAL law
* digiti has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
messa4 for me its no diffrence
messa4 but if i could choose - i would rather follow stable non chaning archaic rules then new rules every 10 years totally oposing those from 50 years before
Maxdamantus messa4: they don't REALLY believe women should marry their rapists if they can't find four men to testify in their favour.

I-Love-Boobies messa4: Because you are against us evolving as a society?
I-Love-Boobies messa4: Do you think it would be good if they decided that in the medieval times and stuck to it?
* Juandev (~Juandev@89.24.182.66) has joined
messa4 yes
messa4 but thats just my opinion
I-Love-Boobies Then you are evil since you advocate suffering.
I-Love-Boobies Either that or inconsistent in your beliefs.
* Juandev has quit (Client Quit)
messa4 i advocate stable laws that are stable for thousands of years. not some stupidty made by humans every few years
Maxdamantus messa4: what happens when the next religion comes along?
Maxdamantus messa4: each religion just replaces another.
* IronWard has quit (Quit: Leaving)
messa4 no its not
* Volis has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
Maxdamantus messa4: it itself changes beliefs.
messa4 you got judaism. after it christianity and islam - neither was replaced.
Maxdamantus messa4: to have consistent beliefs, you'd need to go back to the beginnings of civilisations.
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.
* Volis (variable@unaffiliated/hugo-drax/x-7148487) has joined
messa4 my personal belief is that islam, judaism and chiristianity is the same religion. aka Monotheism. oryginal religion of Abraham
Maxdamantus (note though, as I alluded to earlier, there isn't really any "Christianity" anymore)
messa4 so i could live under judaism islam or christian system of values
messa4 and be ok
Maxdamantus (it's now Catholicism, Anglicanism, Lutherism, etc)
Maxdamantus (all different belief systems)
* jalalsfs (~jalal@unaffiliated/jalalsfs) has joined
I-Love-Boobies Maxdamantus: Which is ironic. They love to talk about absolute values and yet there are as many Christianities as believers in Christianity.
messa4 its true with christianity. but islam and judaism is not that fragmented
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: Is it okay when they subjugate their women or kill each other in the street?
I-Love-Boobies Why?
* jalalsfs has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
messa4 I-Love-Boobies: go and study
I-Love-Boobies Pardon?
* m4sker has quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
I-Love-Boobies It's easy to dismiss uncomfortable questions...
messa4 i dont want to discuss about it. but it seems that u have deep misunderstanding of islamic laws. but u can learn a littlebit about it. plenty of sources
messa4 its like saying: is it ok for christians to kill jews?
messa4 generalization and shit
messa4 so im not gonna discuss it.
* drbean has quit (Quit: ZNC - http://znc.in)
I-Love-Boobies Is anyone else amused at this? :)
messa4 and as i said: i dont mind living under orthodox jewish or islamc law.

messa4 wow
messa4 ok im back to my channel ridol
messa4 rindolf:
messa4 marzipig: no comment man. kinda uncool
rindolf messa4: ok.
rindolf messa4: hi.
marzipig messa4: it's true though, genocidal, sadistic
messa4 have some repsect for fuk sake
messa4 even if u dont like it
Skunky no
binders in other words, human
marzipig No
messa4 dont call it "cunt"
rindolf messa4: BTW, there's this episode of Futurama where in the future Star Trek becomes a religion.
* ArtyomShym has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
binders he said "as depicted"
I-Love-Boobies Nothing is above criticism. This is the only way to discard bad habits.
marzipig If it's a misrepresenation, then I feel bad for the entity(but it should release a sequel)
I-Love-Boobies :)
* AccessGranted (~Andrey@195.222.76.160) has joined
marzipig One way in which I am superior to Jahweh: I don't think people who call me a cunt deserve eternal torture
messa4 i fuckin dont get this hatered

marzipig messa4: you are aware that genocide is frowned upon?
messa4 i dont like catholic church for example. i could talk about their bad stuff for days. but for god sake - i have some respect for their belief
messa4 it doesnt matter
messa4 i ahte "liberal" people who are acting like nazis
messa4 without respect
messa4 :(
marzipig Good morning Mr Godwin
binders "like nazis" isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
messa4 maybe. im sorry
messa4 but u know what i mean
marzipig No, I don't
* Hoyt (~c0debreak@c0debreak.xen.prgmr.com) has joined
marzipig In fact I strongly suspect you don't /have/ a point
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.
marzipig I-Love-Boobies: my view is more nuanced
I-Love-Boobies So why does a detrimental belief for which there is no evidence demand respect?
I-Love-Boobies marienz: Oh?
messa4 I-Love-Boobies: for example LAW
messa4 even secular law
messa4 like in UK
binders law can be reformed
I-Love-Boobies ^
binders scripture is eternal
I-Love-Boobies ^
rindolf messa4: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=larry-wall-all-truth-is-gods-truh - see this.
binders and we make the law
marzipig I-Love-Boobies: Oh, actually, you probably hold the same view as me, dogmatism is the problem
binders it's not imposed on us by some cruel superpower who kills on a whim
messa4 even if u dont give a fuck about religion law. In most countries SECULAR law forbids u to say things like "this religion is cunt". u need to be respectful even if u dont belive in it
marzipig It's not just "religion" it's holding on to any view regardless of whether it's counterfactual
marzipig messa4: here we still have some freedom of speech, and I never said Judaism was a cunt
* blitter_ has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
messa4 marzipig: u are in USA i belive?
I-Love-Boobies messa4: A law which is also detrimental and should be changed.
marzipig messa4: you believe wrong, I'm in England
rindolf messa4: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=the-cia-vs-the-kgb-vs-the-shin-bet - you may also enjoy this. Israeli humour.
Maxdamantus 22:17:28 < messa4> i dont like catholic church for example. i could talk about their bad stuff for days. but for god sake - i have some respect for their belief
Maxdamantus messa4: I think the Catholic church used to execute people like you.
marzipig Maxdamantus: you seriously think they stopped?
marzipig Pretty good at not letting things get out that church
messa4 marzipig: ARE YOU INSNANE?! if u will say "religion xyz is cunt" in any british town - u will be prosecuted. no doubt
marzipig messa4: no, and I didn't say that
* shikhin has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
I-Love-Boobies Shame on the UK then.
rindolf Maxdamantus: the Roman Catholic Church of today is very different from that when the press was invented.
marzipig I-Love-Boobies: shame on the UK for other reasons, not that one(yet)
messa4 marzipig: so who said that? sorry
messa4 anyway nvm
marzipig messa4: I said that Jahweh as depicted in the Torah/Bible/Qur'an comes accross as a cunt
I-Love-Boobies Yes, that. Nothing should be above the freedom of expression and critique.
rindolf Maxdamantus: for example, Madonna was welcomed to visit many churches, while back in 1400 she would have been burned on stake.
binders messa4, nobody said the religion was a cunt (which makes no sense anyway) refer back to what marzipig actually said
marzipig rindolf: "burned at the stake"
messa4 marzipig: nvm. its dissrespectful anyway
marzipig Your point is right though
marzipig Right, I have no respect for that particular fictional entity
messa4 for me its end of topic. i hate disrespect. doesnt care if u are jew or muslim or whatever
Maxdamantus messa4: you should have some respect for disrespect.
marzipig I honestly think I'm showing you more respect than y oure shoing me
marzipig *you're
I-Love-Boobies messa4: Disrespectful? But we should be critical of such things... Some people think blacks are lesser people. Should I show respect just because it is a belief?
marzipig At least I'm not shouting at you to shut up
rindolf marzipig: thanks! I'll try to keep it in mind.
rindolf Maxdamantus: <Maxdamantus> messa4: you should have some respect for disrespect.- hah! That's great.
