I am surprised by the results, but if the Jews wanted to attempt to stifle JewHating, they'd show a different result.  Jews are much much more likely to be attacked in some form than Muslims in this country and around the world.

Christianity is the Amway Global of religions

Christianity is an Organized Religion, by the Plebeian Masses for the Elite.

The Romans made sure of it, when it became Organized at the Council of Nicaea: their "Bishops" (think of religious equivalent of GOP minus Libertarians) came up with a processed and standardized product. All other "Christian" sects and denominations are just mutated variations of that Product.

Hedge accordingly.

Most Christians fall for the "Chosen People nonsense."

Most Christians and a fair number of everyone else falls for the ridiculous "holocast myth."

Jews run everything controlling banking, mass media, polls, Congress, and darn near everything we read, hear and see in print and online (except ZH).

So, with that in mind, what do we expect the Pew poll to show?

"Jews run everything controlling banking, mass media, polls, Congress, and darn near everything we read, hear and see in print and online (except ZH)."

This is the core issue. I don't hate Jews at all - I really don't - but there is a serious problem relating to the level of power they acquire, how they acquire it and how they use it. I've given before the example of Ukraine where  the President, PM, Central Bank Governor and Governors of major regions (some living abroad!) are all Jews, despite their representing only 00.02% of the population.  

There is someting seriously amiss when this happens. And the equivalent happens all the time in virtually every Western/Christian country. It cannot be justified or explained in any sensible way.  I'd like to think that those people have the interests of the rest of us at heart but forgive me, I'm not confident.

WHAT SOME FAMOUS PEOPLE SAID ABOUT.........JEWS
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Benjamin Franklin
--------------------
"We must protect America from the insidious Jews. In every country Jews have settled in, they have lowered its morals and commercial integrity; have built up a state within the state; and when opposed have ruined that country financially, as in Spain and Portugal. If you don't exclude them from America, in less than 200 years they will dominate our land and government, for which Americans have shed our blood and given our lives. Our descendants will be their slaves and curse you in your graves.''

Queen Maria Theresa
------------------------
"No Jew will be allowed to remain here without my written permission. I know of no other plague than this race, which impoverished the people by their fraud, usury and money-lending and commits all deeds which an honorable man despises."

Cicero
-------
"The Jews are a dark and repulsive force. One knows how this clique stick together and what power they exercise through their unions. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers."

Franz Liszt
---------------
"All nations in which Jews are dwelling will have to raise the question of their wholesale expulsion, a question which will be one of life or death, peaceful existence or perpetual social fever."

George Washington
----------------------
"Jews work more effectively against us, than enemy armies. They are 100 times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause. It is much to be lamented they weren't hunted down as pests to society and as greatest enemies to America."

Wilhelm II (German Emperor)
----------------------------------
"A Jew can't be a true patriot. He must be kept out of a place where he can do mischief. The Jews are responsible for Bolshevism in Russia and Germany. I was far too indulgent with them during my reign, and I bitterly regret the favors I showed the prominent Jewish bankers."

Charles Lindbergh (prior to WW2)
--------------------------------------
"The pressure for war is high and mounting. The people are opposed to it, but Jewish interests in the country are behind war, and they control most of our press and radio and motion pictures.''

Funny Christians relegated Jews for most of European History to only a small group of vocations, such as money changers, because although naturally money lending was a part of the European culture, it was considered unclean and not fit for a Christian.  Who here will contest the centuries of Christian pogroms; over and over and over again against the Jews who usually were by decree or convention among the most desperately poor, politically nonexistent, and a scapegoated for every calamity (crop failures, bad water wells, ad naseum, when it suited TPTB).

 If you reject the premise you either are a pathological liar or haven't spent more than a hour digesting Christian European history.  Nevermind the Romans, pre Christian conversion.   I bet the poster didn't even take a Western Civilization 101 course, or studied any number of the various Monarchies.  You're are just another powerless, embittered, low station in life, failure who would blame your failures on a group of people.  Same as it ever was.  The most renown Christian, (Jesus was born, lived and died a Jew), was Martin Luther, who fomented JewHate that reverberates to this day.  Pathetic

If one wants to know the extent of the STATE TERROR and HORROR inflicted upon people in Russia since 1917 AFTER the JEWISH BOLSHEVIKS of Lenin (and his Party competitor) Trotsky, took TOTAL power, read the following informative short article about historian Solzhenitsyn's latest book (banned in the West), "Together for Two Hundred Years."
 
Solzhenitsyn: The "Conscience of the 20th Century"
 
 
 If not exaggerated, Solzhenitsyn asserts that since 1917, the Bolsheviks, continuing under assassin Stalin, through and even after WW2, systematically executed, and inside (and outside) their thousands of Gulags, worked, starved and froze to death, SIXTY-SIX million people, not all, but most of them CHRISTIANS (whom the Bolsheviks hated). This mass death was THE LARGEST REAL "HOLOCAUST" in modern history - but totally unknown today by most Americans, British and western Europeans and absent from our school books. Of course no publisher in the Western world dares reprint Solzhenitsyn's book in English.

Some of you posters are always and forever calling out the manipulation and indoctrination of an entire population.  What in the hell do you think 2,000 years of European, and in particular Christian theology of the TPTB did to the Jewish People?  Martin Luther, of the Protestant Reformation, the most important figure in Christendom of the past 400 years, directly fomented a very active promotion of kill the Jews campaign that culminated in the German barbarity of the Third Reich.  I cannot imagine the type of person who proudly spews Joesph Gobbles' and Adolph's ideology.

On the other hand, the Talmud (not the whitewashed version sold in Costco) and Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira’s Torat Ha’Melech published in 2009 prove Luther’s point that “since they live among us, we dare not tolerate their conduct, now that we are aware of their lying and reviling and blaspheming.”

Decreed Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira in true Talmudic tradition:"If we kill a gentile who has violatedone of the Seven Commandments… there is nothing wrong with the murder... There is justification for killing [non-Jewish] babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately..."

"On August 18 (2010), a pantheon of Israel's top fundamentalist [Talmudic] Rabbis flaunted their political power during an ad hoc congress they convened at Jerusalem's Ramada Renaissance hotel. Before an audience of 250 supporters including the far-right Israeli Knesset member Michael Ben-Ari, the rabbis declared in the name of the Holy Torah that they would not submit to any attempt by the government to regulate their political activities -- even and especially if those activities included inciting terrorist attacks against non-Jews.  -- Max Blumenthal, AlterNet, "How to Kill Goyim and Influence People: Israeli Rabbis Defend Book's Shocking Defense of Killing Non-Jews," August 29, 2010.

"the German barbarity of the Third Reich".   Godwin's Law strikes again.  If you're losing the argument resurrect Hitler and the NAZIs.

"Judea Declares War On Germany".  This heading from Britain's Daily Express in 1933 highlights that international Jewry declared an economic boycott on the just-recovering Germany before any reprisals against German Jews had occurred and before Hitler became Chancellor.  

American Jewish leader Samuel Untermeyer called it a 'holy war'  = jihad!  A few years later Theodor Kaufman published a book - to widespread acclaim - entitled Germany Must Perish!.  This called for nothing less than the elimination of Germans from the face of the earth.  After the War Henry Morgenthau wanted to turn Germany into a wasteland, destroy everything and let what Germans remained to exist by way of subsistence farming.

Coming from the other side, a few years ago I ploughed through Mein Kampf and Hitler's Table Talks (1939-1942) expecting a gore fest of Jewish extermination.  Know what?  he said nothing about exterminating Jews.  He said they were to be driven out of the Reich and also Switzerland and Sweden.  

I claim, and it's not hyperbole, that the story fed to us of Jewish-German relations has been the most biased and distorted in the history of humanty.  If you don't believe me do a terrible forbidden thing: Check it our for yourself.

That's all you need to know about the bullshit bible; it's an objective statement proclaiming duality of creation, i.e. heavens AND the earth.

What about the disparity of the epochs?

Universe is 14 billion years old, Earth is 4.6 billion years old, so that's 10 billion years of discrepancy.

If this poll is accurate, it's rather sad. Fewer people have awakened than one would hope, it seems. Then again, perhaps it should be taken with a grain of salt. Pew Research Center is a subsidiary of the Pew Charitable Trusts; here's something about them:

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/funderprofile.asp?fndid=5213

Again I see nonsense about the "chosen people" of Israel. Christians apparently don't read their Bibles. The Christians are the chosen people of the New Covenant:

"Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." - Colossians 3:11-12

"For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake." - 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." - 1 Peter 2:9

"She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ." - 1 Peter 5:13-14

"They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." - Revelation 17:14

Eventually, at the core of everything one believes, is an unproven and unprovable presupposition.  In other words, the foundation of everything one believes is simply choice, and nothing else.

Athiests believe they have freedom to choose to believe anything they want to believe.  This notion of self-affirming self-righteous "free will choice" is common to every single atheist.   

One must be omniscient (all knowing) to "know" absolutely there is no God.  If omniscience is a quality exclusive to God, then in this case we have God proving absolutely God does not exist, a rather strange, self-denying, and mutually exlusive occurence. 

Mon, 10/06/2014 - 09:43 | 5293900 oldschool
oldschool's picture

In the abstract, this is largely accurate and helpful.  One understandably missing detail is what constitutes "proof".  

In this vein it is important to recognize that those who have actually encountered God are not making an "unprovable presuppostion" for their belief.  On the other hand, those who have not had such an encounter always are making such an assumption if they deny God's existence and somtimes are if they accept it (the latter case is where the definition of "proof" becomes most critical, and here one must admit that "proof"is merely the evidence we deem to accept).  

Of course you can argue about the validity of the aforementioned encounter, but you cannot meaningfully discount or disprove it.  And, as the  saying goes, a man with an argument loses to a man with experience every time.

How could the Universe just “be”?  It simply had to get here somehow.  And how could the Earth not be flat?  If it wasn’t flat, we’d all fall off the edge. 

Oh wait, forget that one.  It’s been solved.  Granted it took 6500 years of recorded history to come up with an explanation, but this Universe getting here thing…that remains a puzzle to this day.  What could the answer be?  Any clue, Isaac?

I know! God did it.  Damn, I wish I’d thought of that earlier, because I could have saved those guys at Cern with their Hadron Collider thing a hell of a lot of money, money that could be used to build churches, or get Jimmy Swaggert a private jet, or other cool stuff.

Where I still need some help, though, is how we get from this “Creator That Always Was”, which clearly explains a “Universe That Had to Get Here Somehow”, to there being just One Creator, and how this One Creator is all about pure love.  That’s a quantum leap.  Another leap---though this one might be solved by conjuring the word “Omnipotent”---is how we get this God, the Ultimate Multi-Tasker, who can take care of a Universe of billions of galaxies, trillions of stars, and “he” only knows how many sentient beings, while making sure some poor schmoes 9-year old daughter passes her math exam, or a Czech immigrant field goal kicker splits the uprights with two seconds remaining in overtime.  Okay, mutli-tasking extraordinaire solves the omnipotence question.

But I get confused.  Help me here…those of you who know for certain…why can’t there be Two Gods, you know, kind of like Abbot and Costello.  In fact, if I assume at least Two, that kind of kills two birds with one stone.  I’ve heard Bud Abbot was kind of a shmuck in real life, so if we assume one of the Two Gods is like Bud, it’s easier to explain stuff like tornados in trailer parks, capsized ferries in the Bay of Bengal, and childhood cancer.

Of course then I think of it, why stop at Two Gods?  Why not a committee, like the EU in Brussels?  The way they fucked up Europe could be a pretty good analogy for why this planet is the way it is.  The problem is, it never stops.  If “It” can be a Committee of Creators, why not competing parties, something like the Demogods and Republicreators.  They could take turns creating alternate Universes, and the Party Not in Power could spend its temporary infinity being the mischief maker, undermining the other Party by making all those tsunamis and supernovas and getting people to switch teams and embrace another Party.

Now it’s beginning to make some sense.  We need Moar Gods!

Frankly, if we take the gods we’ve got on an individual basis, we’re left with more questions than answers, and a logic that isn’t, well, logical.  Now I know faith doesn’t require logic; in fact, logic destroys faith.  Still, some of the stories are a little suspicious.

For example, there’s this one god, a pretty popular one, who---if one gives it some thought---doesn’t pass the smell test.  This god created some Country Club in the Sky, and he did it in the style and with the arrogance of a Donald Trump.  Then he came up with an initiation policy for membership that only can be described as bizarre.  It involved him knocking up an Earthwoman---even the best lawyer would have trouble getting this guy off on sexual harassment charges if not rape---then spending the next thirty-three years being a deadbeat father.  His alibi, or excuse---and lots of people buy it---was that he had to knock up the Earthwoman, because he knew the kid would irritate enough people so that eventually somebody would nail the guy.  In a kind of convoluted logic that would make Rube Goldberg dizzy, all of that somehow allows Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and a lot of other slick talkers into The Club, and for them it’s no doubt front row seats with backstage passes.  The rest of us get the peanut gallery, but we’re told that is better than the alternative.

On the other hand, maybe I’m being too harsh on this god.  Maybe it was the Earthwoman who is at fault.  “Joey, I swear!  Bud Abbot did it.”  I’d pay a price beyond rubies for someone to provide me with excuses like that.

There’s this other god, embraced by many, who might well be in need of a remedial class in Omnipotence, because he can’t seem to  slay on his own those who diss him or his messenger.  Apparently he needs his followers to do the slaying, and preferably by beheading.  One would think that if the guy really is god…well, let’s not go there.  And no, I am not a Danish cartoonist or a Dutch film maker.  Still, one has to wonder about the mystery of faith and the rules that have this guy who can create a Universe, filled with electrons and neutrons and muons and bazillions of obscure hints of particles, has such an odd dress code for his females.  It seems….inconsistent.

Frankly, I can see a bit of the draw in that god, though, because apparently he has some deal that if you succumb to injuries when trying to chase down infidels, blasphemers, apostates, and Western journalists, he awards you 72 virgins in the hereafter.  Now eternity is eternity, and we’ve all heard the adage about show me a beautiful woman and I’ll show you a guy who’s bored schtupping her, but this god says it’s 72 for the duration.  Them babes must be smoking hot.

The females who champion that god, however, still have to behave even after they are gone.  No 72 stud muffins for them.  Maybe they get to watch their menfolk?  So for them it’s Eternal Voyeurism?  If it were me, and I were female, I’d switch faiths.

We also have those who call themselves Chosen.  Their god actually told them they were chosen.  The problem is, he didn’t say for what.  Let me tell you:  you do not want to know.

There’s another god---well, he claims not to be a god---where his followers strive to desire nothing.  That’s true.  They go to pagodas, pray to a guy who already told them he’s not there, and ask for everything they are not supposed to want.  I think---and I’m guessing here, or maybe just being generous---what they really want is to be sure.  They say, “listen Big Guy, how can I be sincere I not wanting anything if I haven’t had a taste of it?  Don’t you want me to be absolutely certain?  Look, give me a Lambo, a big house, some flush bank accounts, and a string of nubile nymphets, and I’ll get it all out of my system.  After that, you got me, buddy.”

In all my years walking upright, I think I have found the answer, the real truth, The One and Only Truth. It’s the Greek gods.  It’s Zeus, Apollo, Athena and Agamemnon.  Seriously.  They’re only semi-competent, they’re impish, they’re even sometimes vindictive.  They’ll help your kid pass her math exam on the one hand, then pump her full of cancer and take her away in a second.  They are The Good, and they are The Bad.  The Greeks knew.  They really did.  They found gods who could explain everything that actually happens in existence.

I have to laugh when I think about Jerry Falwell, a guy who spent his brief existence condemning everyone else for what they did wrong, all the while overlooking his own practice of one of the Seven Deadlys, and that is what took him out early.  No doubt he approached a closed gate in the hereafter, saw a guy wearing a toga, and said, “Let me in; I’ve been faithful!”, to which he received the reply from someone, maybe Artemis, like, “Sorry, Jerry, you’re on Hades dance card.  Bad choice of gods, fella”.

Isn’t it kind of ironic, though, that the Greeks, who accepted the ultimate dictatorial nature of gods, would have given the rest of us democracy?

The joke is on us, I think.

And how could the Earth not be flat?  If it wasn’t flat, we’d all fall off the edge….Granted it took 6500 years of recorded history to come up with an explanation…  --chindit13

No, it didn’t take 6500 years of recorded history to “come up with an explanation” that the earth was not flat.. 'That was science’s myth. The Bible long ago said:

“He is stretching out the north over the empty place, hanging the earth upon nothing.” “To whom can you people liken God?... [He] is dwelling above the circle of the earth.” – Job 26:7; Isaiah 40: 18, 22

And that is exactly what the astronauts saw as they circled the moon: the earth, round, and hanging “upon nothing.”

Do you suppose Job and Isaiah had inside information?

If someone does not understand then www.askwhy.co.uk can help.

Since its release in early 2014, the big-budget movie “Noah” has caused controversy for not being biblically accurate. While that is certainly the case, the movie does more than take liberties with the Bible: “Noah” pushes messages that have nothing to do with the Bible. These messages are actually political and come directly from the world elite. The primary message? Humanity needs to be cleansed … again.

Jews are on top because they are NEVER negatively portrayed negatively 'as' Jews in the media.  Generally likeable sitcome stars, or portrayed as doctors, scientists, nazi hunters, and the like.   Indeed, references to Jews and Judaism are not only invariably positive, and negative historical truths memory-holed [see the wiki entry on Jewish Bolshevism, or the one on American Entry into WW1 that manages to not discuss Zionists at all...] they are referenced so frequently one can hardly spend a night home watching TV without, apart from the people behind the shows, a surfeit of references to Jews and Jewishness.

 

I've probably seen 50 bar mitzvahs in a tv show or movie - 6 million Jews and 60 million Catholics, say, and I can't remember a single reference to Confirmation and very few to Baptism.

 

Muslims, on the other hand...

Very striking baptism scene at the end of "The Godfather."

But the Jews in that movie are subservient. And victimized.

They’ve made one critical mistake; and that is the establishment of Israel and that is going to stop them. Because they are like a mad dog with the lease taken off. And the world cannot tolerate it. It’s going to have to be fixed.

You can’t use money power against an increasingly immovable object. Something has to give and it won’t be Western Civilization.

They are the ones who made it a worldwide fight. So be it.

The essence of Luther’s thinking.

 

“But to strut before God and boast about being so noble, so exalted, and so rich compared to other people—that is devilish arrogance, since every birth according to the flesh is condemned before him without exception in the aforementioned verse, if his covenant and word do not come to the rescue once again and create a new and different birth, quite different from the old, first birth. So if the Jews boast in their prayer before God and glory in the fact that they are the patriarchs' noble blood, lineage, and children, and that he should regard them and be gracious to them in view of this, while they condemn the Gentiles as ignoble and not of their blood, my dear man, what do you suppose such a prayer will achieve? This is what it will achieve: Even if the Jews were as holy as their fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob themselves, yes, even if they were angels in heaven, on account of such a prayer they would have to be hurled into the abyss of hell. How much less will such prayers deliver them from their exile and return them to Jerusalem! For what does such devilish, arrogant prayer do other than to give God's word the lie, for God therein declares: Whoever is born and not circumcised shall not only he ignoble and worthless but shall also be damned and shall not be a part of my people, and I will not be his God. The Jews rage against this with their blasphemous prayer as if to say: "No, no, Lord God, that is not true; you must hear us, because we are of the noble lineage of the holy fathers. By reason of such noble birth you must establish us as lords over all the earth and in heaven too. If you fail to do this, you break your word and do us an injustice, since you have sworn to our fathers that you will accept their seed as your people forever."

 

At that time in history, religion was all there was, as science, as law, as justice and as societal conduct.  Luther saw God as a benevolent merciful God and the Jews saw and still see G-d differently.  The Jews rejected Jesus as their messiah. The Jews expectation was not of a religious leader who would come to talk about love and salvation for all humankind. They wanted POWER!!!
They expected a Jewish general who would bring them an earthly victgory and not a Spiritual one. They wanted to defeat the Roman Empire at that time and all empires since and conquer the world. (All Nations) Their Messiah would be the one who would smash their enemies and not tell us to love them. Their Messiah would have to be the one who would give them dominion and control over all the nations of the world.

Luther was against the Catholic Church for allowing people to buy their way into heaven – so to speak.  The Jew were against the Catholic Church and so they used Luther to spearhead the Jewish desire to destroy the Catholic Church.  When Luther discovered that the Jews wanted to destroy Christianity and the Gentile who were (still are) considered animals; Luther could note imagine that Germans (as Christians) were lesser human beings than the Jews.  The Jews do not view Gentiles as human and so Luther stated that one of the LIES of the Jews was that they are the chosen people and God must exalt them above all people.

Its anti-Semitic in the way Judaism is anti-Christian.
