Malaysian PM repeats charge about Jews So regarding what the dude said, whatever, I wanna talk about something the reporter wrote, "Mahathir singled out the case of U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, the U.S. deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, who has said that the war on terror is a Christian fight against Satan, and that Muslims worship an idol. In fact, Muslims worship the same God as Christians and Jews." It was that "In fact" that got my blood bubbling. In fact my white ass. Kant's argument against the ontological proof for the existence of god was that existence is not a property, and here we see why. The sentence sure makes it sound like a fact that the different religions all worship the same entity (an entity is something that exists)... But many people, myself included, doubt there is any entity like the one[s] claimed in these faiths. If something doesn't exist, how can you signle it out as the same non-existant thing as the other non-existant thing; that is, how can it have identity? Can two people believe in the SAME non-existant banana? It seems to me that they cannot. For three whole religions to believe in the same god is not meaningless, it's simply impossible. Anyhow, ignoring these deepish ontological questions, on the surface it is clear that not even all people within these groups worship the same God. Mormons and Lutherans seem to have Gods with different values, how can they be the same? Surely there is SOMETHING different about the concepts of God that each group claims is correct, and god is nothing if not a concept. They all must claim that their god is THE one god, and therefore it is convenient to claim a heratige with the one god that people have worshipped for years.. after all, there isn't much of an alternative, other than saying that the one god from before never was, but this highly similar but only slightly different one god IS real. That is too absurd, so instead the scions of the god of the old testament (and lets face it, the Jewish god of today is not the Jewish god of back then) claim that their god, with his own set of petty rules, is the same god as before, just with some new rules or "children" or prophets. This can easily be done because there can be no verification, no test. Religions naturally break apart and diverge as groups apply their own prejudices and agendas to the invisible thing in the sky that lays down ultimate truth. So what does it mean to say all three groups worship the same god? In fact, Dennis D. Grey of the associated press never bothered to say.
