		<description>&quot;truth&quot; You are making assumptions and confusing your assumptions with facts.
First you assume that my ill-wishes towards my enemies have anything to do with the race, or a different ethnic groups, and then you call me a &quot;racist&quot; on the strength of your deluded assumption.
An enemy of my people is someone who wishes my to kill, harm, my people or to steal my people&#039;s land. They can be ethnically German, Polish, or French. Currently the overwhelming majority of the enemies are Arabs and the Muslims.
I certainly would rather see the enemies of my people dead than viceversa.</description>

You are so racist I cannot begin to describe how much displeasure G-d must see in the likes of you. All people were created in G-d&#039;s image, unless you take the Talmud to heart and believe gentiles are no better than animals. 

You hate all other people besides Jews? You wish harm unto your &quot;enemies?&quot; I ask you, why are they your enemies--have they actually wronged you, or did they dare to be born of a different ethnic group? 

Hatred does not flatter.</description>

		<description>Sheldon, I am not proselytizing, information about health is not religion. I genuinely care about my people, I wish them health. I hate our enemies and want to see them fat, ugly, sick and stupid.</description>

		<description>Dear chaim,

why did He create man? So He could show how unpleasant He is (my point, in part, to the &quot;he cannot be pleased&quot; comment by Obadiah) by aloofly remaining distant like a black cloud on a rainy day?  No, He once had an intimate relationship and He created us to have fellowship with Him like that which Adam lost in the garden. He is no kill-joy either.  Allah is the impersonal one who is above it all and which more closely resembles your comments.

God is personal and relational and at one with a pluralistic nature. And I agree with you. He is incomparable!</description>

&quot;Polynesian cannibals are not similarly ethical to leftist academics; obviously, cannibals are much more ethical.&quot;</description>

		<description>BRAVO Obadiah!
You had the courage to say this!

Unnecessary killing and farming of animals is indeed immoral. Killing animals is necessary when human life is saved through it: An Eskimo in Northern Greenland indeed needed to kill animals in order to survive, and he was perfectly moral doing so. On the other hand modern people in Israel, or USA, have access to sufficient plant based food, are immoral. It is also immoral because it makes them sick, and predisposes their children for sickness.

The argument that &quot;God gave people dominion over animals, and therefore they must eat them&quot; is **STUPID** to the extreme:
The British Queen has dominion over her subjects but as far as we know, does not eat them. Dominion therefore must be understood as stewardship, which can under some circumstances, but does not hove to, involve eating animals. 

Eating animal products makes people fat, causes cancers and heart attacks and thousands of other diseases. People who don&#039;t eat animals have lower blood-fat, resulting in higher oxygen transport to brain, and higher intelligence. (On average, IQ 11 points higher than the average population, though of course there are morons and geniuses in both groups.)
Jews need to be as healthy and as smart as possible in order to survive in this antisemitic world.

If we care about our nation, we should stop eating animals, so that we can be lean and mean, smart and kick the asses of our enemies. 

On the other hand we should encourage our enemies to eat dairy, meat, fish, eggs and every form of oils and fats. Let them grow fat and die young. Let their societies suffer from huge medical costs. Jews should feed the Pal-Arabs in the Israeli prisons with ice cream, cheese, hamburgers, French fries and mayonnaise, and poor huge amount of oil into their food. Pals will love it, and will grow fat and ugly. Let them die of heart attacks and diabetes! The Pals who will get out of jails will look like pigs and will be too fat to harm the Jews.

If Sharon did not eat animals and their excretions (dairy, eggs), he would still be around kicking ass.
Hopefully he would have enough integrity to recognize the mistake of withdrawing from Gaza, and would never compromise again. I think he would have learned from his mistakes and would even contemplate surrendering Golan, Judea or Samaria. As it is, he is existing like a brainless vegetable because animal fat and cholesterol clogged up the arteries leading blood to his brain.

Eating animals is immoral, because it destroys the Jewish nation and makes destroys nature, overburdens our health care budget with chronic and degeneratory  diseases, and makes us look like non-kosher pigs!</description>

		<description>AbuShy, Do you really got what you read? 
G-d having personal nature? Man, we are talking about G-d himself, he has a lot of more bigger nature than all men together. He&#039;s is not a &quot;person-like&quot; comparable one.</description>

		<description>&quot;...for he cannot be pleased.&quot;

For without faith, it is impossible to please Him. If that is your context, and that faith without works is dead, being at best just going through the motions, then yes, He cannot be pleased. For he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Of course, you may be a little machiavellian here too, in which case I heartily disagree. Genesis 1:1 reveals that God has a very personal nature and as such, takes great pleasure, has desire, and makes us just like Him in that regard, since we are created in His image. Thus, He IS pleased to exalt His word above His name and &quot;so shall My word be that goes out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void without accomplishing what is pleasing to Me. And you shall go forth with joy...&quot;

When we experience that accomplishment, joy and praise are inevitable, non obligatory, and the natural response to the personal God who takes pleasure in the praises of His people.</description>
