So you’re saying that because a religion allows you to choose which of God’s commandments, carefully passed down through every generation, you personally want to follow based on your gut feeling, can’t be shamed?

No, that is not what I said.

Why should the ones who choose to deny parts of their religion be seen as representative of it over those who’ve chosen to uphold them?

I definitely answered this in the first paragraph of my original comment.

Because if the majority of people following a particular religion reject a prior view as false or wrong, then arguably that view is no longer part of the religion.

Religions aren’t crisp, unchanging, monolithic entities where everybody believes the same thing forever. If we’re talking about judaism in the sense of the views and practices jewish people actually subscribe to, then that seems like we are referring to beliefs they actually hold in a mainstream/current sense, not beliefs they previous held but now reject?

Operating System Concepts by Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne is a classic OS textbook. Andrew Tanenbaum has some OS books too. I really liked his OS Design and Implementation book but I’m pretty sure that one is super outdated by now. I have not read his newer one but it is called Modern Operating Systems iirc.

On the bright side, you are now the proud owner of a hip designer bean plate.

The joke is that I’m implying they want to fuck this version of jesus.

There’s definitely a bit of “forcing” these people want to do with this version of Jesus, they just don’t want to admit it.

Hell yeah

Hell yeah.

Why should the government support someone’s bad eating habit when they don’t support someone’s alcohol habit, or cocaine habit?

I’m not a doctor at all, but for certain addictions, people can die from the withdrawls that occur if they just stop. I’d imagine in those cases rehab and treatment requires supporting the habit via the drug itself or a safer analog in order to keep the individual alive so that they are able to draw down and eventually quit whatever the source of their addiction is.

For example:

1. Administering benzodiazepines to alcoholics.
2. Administering methadone to opiate users.

if the Palestinians are blameless then why arent they rounding up hamas cultists and giving them to the Israelis?

This point specifically is bat-shit fucking stupid enough to deserve its own comment. It makes absolutely no sense at all for random Palestinian civilians to take on the dominant military power of the region they live in in the middle of an armed conflict and trying to use that as justification for your earlier points is stupid.

You should learn to distinguish between systems of governance, political parties in power and the innocent people subject to these things. It is incredibly stupid to use this faulty reasoning to justify hatred for millions of innocent people and you are a piece of shit for choosing to do this.

Also, your point about the "Palestinian government" knowing who "each and every Hamas member is" juxtaposed by you talking about "studying history" is pretty funny. You realize Hamas is the defacto controlling political party governing the Palestinian territories right?

There's approx 14 million Palestinian people. To claim all of them are as bad as a group like Hamas is either incredibly stupid or incredibly bigoted.
