CHERFUL,

I strongly object to your calling ISIS 'revolutionaries' - they are reactionaries, fascists, terrorists, thugs, yes but in no way are they as you call them.

I'm still Left enough to believe that that term has some integrity and value, even if it hasn't been properly used for many years.

But I mostly support the gist of what you say: I do think, however, that they are using religion to push a religious cause - world domination. It's amazing what the promise of seventy two white-breasted virgins can conjure up in the male mind.

Or was that seventy two white-breasted raisins ?

Yuyutsu, your life was not given to you by a spook, it was given to you, and your parents and maybe grandparents, by millions of heroes who put their lives on the line to crush the Krauts and the Japs whose hell-bent mission was to take your lives and mine along with the rights proclaimed in the Declaration which is written in the heroes' blood.

Contrary to the Zionist propaganda ISIS promote themselves as a social justice movement, their stated mission is to liberate Iraq and the Levant from the (ex) Maliki and Assad governments.The stories of mass rapes and sexual slavery will be shown to be bogus, as they always are, remember the "Viagra Rape Squads" of Libya in 2011 and the fake "Rape Camps" of the Bosnian wars?

It's no wonder idealistic young people raised in the West and given a Liberal education are attracted to the Jihad, the ISIS message of defending the weak against the tyrants is music to their ears.
Every one of the Britons and Australians fighting for ISIS has no doubt been raised as a "Special Snowflake" in state schools, told that every idea he has is valid, that every opinion he hears is worthy of consideration and, as we say had his tyres pumped up too much by helicopter parents and Liberal teachers.

I think ISIS is just another false flag event like 911. http://ae911truth.org/

When we look at our own life it is due to circumstances from the very beginning, somewhere along the way to our life we have managed to escape or been lucky to survive diseases, wars, deaths by someone young, deaths ,marriage, multiple marriages, abortions, etc, when I look at my own life, people who are not even related to me but by circumstances in their life by young deaths and second marriages I would not be here without that particular death at the time, it is an amazing road, it has nothing to do with a God, just luck along the way, and the same process of someone living in the future will just be by the same, purely luck to live, or an early death, where the future of that person and continuing line will stop forever and some one new hopefully will start another living line, the same as myself

Dear Julian,

Parents, grandparents and heroes, as well as the food, the earth, the water and the air - all are God - there's nothing but God, so what's spooky about using the above expressions of God as the means to create the body through which I live?

Now claiming that at least part of the reason why it's wrong to kill a person is the United-Nations' declaration of human rights, implies that before the advent of the United-Nations, it was more OK to take a life than today. Is that so?

What's next? When faced with moral questions such as whether killing and eating a kangaroo is acceptable - are you scanning the volumes of U.N. statements to check whether kangaroos (or unborn foetuses for that matter) have a right to live?

If you consider the United-Nations as the highest authority, do you also take their advice that "everyone is equal" when looking for a romantic partner?

Dear Ojnab,

<<When we look at our own life it is due to circumstances from the very beginning>>

Yes, if we look with our physical eyes through the filter of our human mind, then this is what we perceive, this is how it looks at the surface. However, beyond appearances, everything including those events which seem so random, is the same, is God.

Even science tells that physical objects are not what they seem to be, that in fact there are only atoms there, then protons, neutrons and electrons, then quarks and other sub-atomic particles, then even those, according to Einstein's general relativity theory, are truly nothing but energy. What's the wonder then when I take it one or two steps further, saying that even that which seems to be energy and that which seems to be space and that which seems to be time, all indeed are nothing but God!
