lets reconsider

Telling a 53 year old doctor who has been around Japan and quite a bit of this world to grow up is somewhat misplaced. Humans still have a long way to go, of course, but we're doing our best, even if it's a slow process. This coming from Japan which excercised its most atrocious behavior with what it considered to be inferior races, is quite rich. Japan had to be utterly destroyed and subdued by the mongrels of America before it came to consider that its Shinto-given racial superiority is not really up to snuff.

Since you do not believe in God, how come you involve him in the crime of the flood? Its all pagan superstition so it really never happened so that the fact that the human phylogenetic tree indicates that all humans descend from a single family or some tiny clan about 65-70 thousand years ago is pure poppycock. Now if all God, the mean green killing machine, could do in the whole 1500 years of Bible is to kill the same number of humans as Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka within 15 months, then surely God is not a very efficient killer compared with your average agnostic human killer, or even Japanese misdeeds in Manchuria and elsewhere. And dont get me wrong. I love Japan, a land of decorum honesty, hard work and exquisite manners, but when godless men lead an army under the notion that the Emperor, or Fuhrer, or Supreme Leader, or First Secretary, is God, then what you get is Death on a grand scale, and misery in gargantuan enormity.

considering that all the progress you indicate as to the behaviour of humans is predicated in the Bible, attributed to God and god-fearing men, it really makes no sense to play down either the Bible or god. Had these things never been written 2500 years ago who would know what constitutes Progress and what is Regress? As a Jew i am quite proud of that piece of fairy-tale literature named the Bible, and the thousands of volumes, discussions, plays and movies engendred by this book, though i fail to find too many fairies so depicted. Rather it is the story of a people being redeemed from slavery lasting 400 years, based on the rantings of an old man, and coming up with a set of rules for Men and Women to live by, should they choose to be just and observant. Every F---ing word in the Bible has been proven true, every prediction fulfilled, including the resurrection of Israel. Now, that may not be permanent due to some god-hating Persians, allies of the Nazis (which can be shown and proven) but God willing, they too will go the way of the Amalekites (another fairy tale you do not need to worry about) Domo Arigato for your attention Y Brandstetter MD
