you see only God has the right to judge the inner heart and deeds and actions of the human being.. you and vinny thinking less of me really does not effect the end game.. actually you thinking that, might be bringing more hardship on to yourself because now you are acting like a judge, and more like the Scribes and Pharisees and hypocrites Jesus warned us about..
"For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted". 13Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let in those who wish to ente"r. …

in other words you are acting as if you are exalted and can once again dictate to me what is "right from wrong"

maybe sh*t like this is what turned you to atheism?

from the talmud:

"3. One is allowed to keep a lost object of a gentile and he who returns it commits a sin because he is supporting the wicked people of the world. But if he returns it to sanctify G-d's name, by their saying that the Jews are honest people, it is allowed an praiseworthy to return it. Where there will be a profaning of G-d's name one is forbidden to keep the lost object and must return it ...

"Saving a Gentile's life is also subject to pragmatic reasoning. A Gentile who is in immediate danger of losing his or her life can be saved even on the Sabbath; not based on the philosophy of 'loving thy neighbor,' but motivated by netivey shalom (preserving peace with neighboring Gentiles), or by darkey eivah (avoiding atrocities of Gentiles against Jews).

It is not the human dimension that motivates the command to save a life in this respect, but a dimension beneficial to the ethnocentric community that will remove ammunition from antagonists of Orthodox Judaism." [HUPPERT, U., 1988, p. 95] [...]

this is KILLER!In the Middle Ages it became customary to spit (usually three times) at a Christian cross (one European king had the word "God" in Hebrew etched on the cross to alleviate the insult). Pious Jews are also traditionally enjoined to curse when passing a non-Jewish cemetery or building inhabited by Gentiles. [SHAHAK, p. 93]

To this day, in some traditionally religious communities good Jew ritually curses if he passes a crowd of non-Jews, but utters a blessing when a group is Jewish. [SHAHAK, p. 93] "According to the Talmud," confirms Reuven Kitelman, "a blessing is to be offered upon seeing a multitude of Jews." [KITELMAN, p. 147] [...]

In 1996 Yossi Klein Halevi wrote that during his youth in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, "some Borough Park children said it was a mitzvah, a religious commandment, to spit when you passed a church. An alternative opinion held that it was forbidden to even walk within spitting distance of a church." [HALEVI, p. 17]

"An Orthodox Jew learns from his earliest youth, as part of his sacred studies," says Israel Shahak, "that Gentiles are compared to dogs, that it is a sin to praise them." [SHAHAK, p. 96]

maybe sh*t like this is what turned you to atheism?

sh*t like what?

people using racist slurs and being too ignorant to understand it is offensive as they lamely try to excuse that behavior by saying the expression has been around forever?

i first understood i was an atheist when i was 10 yrs old. nope, nothing bad ever happened to me to go there(the too often conclusion that thumpers jump to when they learn someone doesn't share THEIR beliefs)

you can spare yourself the trouble of spewing verses and quotes from the bible. it holds no meaning and relevance for me so i waste no time reading quotes you or anyone else puts up to win an argument, make some point, or justify some behavior by quoting god's supposed words and intentions.


i did glean from your last post something about judging not, and blah, blah, blah.....

i suggest you print that on cards to hand out at your next swap meet. or even better print it off on a big sign prominently displayed in your booth.....

this way when you next spew "jewing someone down"...maybe it will give them pause from judging you as a racist and ignorant redneck. nah, just as likely their minds will already be made up as the words leave your lips.

you even pick and choose taking pieces out of somebody's reply to you, and not using the whole reply I made back to you.. no wonder you have a hard time understanding Glen, Slacker, HALEY or me, did you even try to understand the logic I laid out for you about a person is not really bringing bacon home? a person is not really thinking a jew as the best bargainer on the block? you off your meds guy?

quit being so "jewy" ?.. as in quit bogarting that joint..don't be so jewy with it..

jewy was a term I picked up off Dawnie a friend I had in Ft. Walton.. I can hear her saying that as if it was yesterday although back in 1984 "don't be so jewy with that joint" and really meaning it.. you quit puffing on it so hard selfish person..

she had a vacuum cleaner with hookups all through the house, a gigantic estate on the bay.. really a well-monied family..never had seen a vacuum cleaner system like that before and never have since..now a backwards hick in Missouri living the dream, now no longer in the limelight hahaha

actually it was her colonel father that owned the house

did you even try to understand the logic I laid out for you about a person is not really bringing bacon home?

"logic"??? is that what you call it?

in your haste to justify your use of racist language i guessed you missed this....

ex. "bring home the bacon" do you literally mean he is buying up pounds of bacon to take home, or do you mean he is a provider for the family supplying necessities to live? LMAO

are you being deliberately obtuse? i've explained to you why "Jew you down" is offensive.

who is offended by the expression "bring home the bacon"? no one.

stop acting a dumbass w these lame off the mark comparisons. or do you still not see they are two very different things?

i know plenty who find "jew you down" offensive....how many do you know who find "....bacon" or "wandering jews" offensive?

so, what other lame arguments do you have for using ethnic slurs?

if the shoe fits..the more you talk, the more I am starting to think there really might be something to it.. I was skeptical but your true nature now coming out into the light..I'm starting to get a feeling, I just don't know .. maybe those people from 100s of years ago, creating "jewy" and jew you down" were on to something, or the sayings would not have "taken off" the way they did, I was not around in the Hapsburg reign so I have no facts just heresay and that does not stand up i court..LOLOLOL planetguy you funny..

I remember saying drunk as a sailor once in a NCO club in front of sailors and the sailors didn't care.. you shouldn't care either planetguy.. it's so superficial p-guy

Wasn't reading this one because I'm not a pipe smoker. But now I be like

Have you ever heard the old saying “To swat at a gnat and swallow a camel”? It means that you will actively engage with something that is minor while allowing something major to slide right on by or enter into your life.
