• Reply to blog post: Is Religion Requisite for Ethics? by beastly
  Comment written 10 months ago
  The most interesting aspect of your comment is the assumption that I am singling out Israelis (an incredibly variegated group in and of itself but which can evidently be simplified enough for one to comfortably say 'us') for criticism. If you bother to read my work (admittedly a huge and growing waste of time) you will be aware that I disapprove of just about every actor there. The narcissism evinced by building an armed settlement in someone's olive grove without even offering to pay them for the loss is certainly no worse than that of the dispossessed person who wraps themselves in explosives and detonates in a public place. In fact, objectively they display rather similar disregard for one's brother man.
  The least interesting is the resort to ad hominem. Anyone who reads and/or thinks in these spheres has heard more than enough name calling. I am reluctant to call anyone a liar, because to support such an assertion I then have to quote the exact lie (accurately) and the exact (documented) evidence that contradicts it. May I hold you to the same standard?
  I might also humbly suggest reading a wider spectrum. This instantaneous misunderstanding and immediate defensiveness smack of fundamentalism, whether religious or doctrinal. Regardless, you are well spoken and likely educated. Why voluntarily limit your understanding? Should you not have time to read ?) listen to 'God's Warriors' with one ear; it might make your argument more developed, or at least less logically fallacious. Thanks for bothering to comment, I hope to have it dissected in entirety by next week (supporting criticisms in excrutiatingly boring detail, of course (and saving me the trouble of coughing up another thesis)).[THUMBUP]
