Origin of evil
#11
RE: Origin of evil
Jesus why are you being pedantic over something self-evident.

No, because it's Sunday morning and I'm not going to trawl around for something everybody knows and (mostly) self evident. Think about the fact that anti-Semite is a distinction made specifically towards the Jews as a homogenised and self-defined race. Whether in fact it is a race or not is irrelevant. The fact people like Harris assume it is and, further, want to denigrate it and seemingly advocate persecution of it should give you all the clues you need that he is a racist.

RE: Origin of evil
God is the source of evil. According to people who believe in him. The rest is scapegoating. Not interested in your cult.

Back in reality, shit happens.

Cool, so you don't have any actual evidence.

RE: Origin of evil
idiota. You're drawing an irrelevant distinction and missing the point entirely. Let's say you're 100% right, makes no difference to Harris' intended and actual racism.

I agree, he's an anti-Semite.

RE: Origin of evil
Do you understand and see the difference between Judahism and 'Jews'? I don't want to go into a history lesson but they're not the same thing? As in, you can be a Jew and not espouse Judahism? Hell there are non-religious people who identify as Jews in this very forum. TSQ I believe is one of them.

Do you understand that? You know what, whatever. Said what I need to, it's pointless encounters like this arguing over trivial and irrelevant points that remind me why I never post anymore. Have at it.

Got any evidence from a reliable source?

Jews are a race/ethnic group, they are the people of Israel.

The people of Judahism are also called jews.

If you check up the wikipedia page about jews you can see it's an ethnoreligious group, there are mentions of jewish ethnicity and jewish religion meaning they're distinct.
