I think Jews are better at chess because they had the time for it.  They aren't out trying to convert everyone to their religion like some of the other kids who ride their bicycles to my house, knock on my door, and try and talk to me about Jesus, I tell 'em, boys, you wanna meet Jesus, you should join the Army, that will teach you about suffering and passion and prayer, I don't need no pansy bicyclist hippy pacifists to tell me about Jesus.  But the Jewish people, they got it right, instead of buggin' everyone trying to convert people they use their pleasure time doing interesting stuff like Chess.  That's why they're so good, they got their priorities straight!

They should hang this on the wall in every Christian church...

By heliolithic culture I am refering to the culture that arose during the new stone age. A prime example was the Egyptian culture in which stone tools were used and stone megaliths were constructed. They, of course, were sun worshippers. Jewish culture arose from the Egyptians, Moses was raised by Egyptians and his people, the Jews were captives of the Egyptians so the Jewish culture was based on the Egyptian culture, even though they didn't worship the Sun as such. Other traits of this culture include the formation of tribal groups, the idea that inheritance is through the female and not the male, the imporance of the family and so forth. These are characteristics retained by the Jewish people to this day.

Don't you think if they were so into the Egyptian system, they would have stayed ? So, you believe they were slaves there, but don't believe they left because they felt mistreated ? You must think people enjoy having their sons fed to the crocodiles, leaving their daughters to be picked through by the Egyptian men, when the time would arise, was somehow admirable and should pattern their own society after them... ?

Puzzling ideas you have...

What's really puzzling is how the Jews missed their Messiah,Jesus, when he's mentioned throughout the old testament, Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, not to mention several hundred others. Also the new testament documents these fulfilled prophecies, including his birth, crucifixion, death and resurrection from the dead, as documented by thousands of people who witnessed him alive after his ressurection! Even his harshest critics of the time didn't deny all these things about Jesus because they were so true!

Do you believe in Santa Claus too? Maybe the tooth fairy? Or leprechauns dancing in the evening verge?

Back to chess, friends.

If I'm not mistaken I believe that Santa has his roots in the venerable soul of Saint Nicholas.

I have never said the Jews liked being slaves. What I said was that they may have derived their culture from the Egyptians. Just as black people here in the US hated being slaves because they were so terribly mistreated but when they were freed they adapted the ways of the white man only because that is the culture that they were raised in. And the old testament does mention the coming of the messiah. The thing that I don't understand is that the Jews read and believe in so many books why do they not also read and believe in the New Testament? As for leprechauns, ghosts and the tooth fairy, who is to say, maybe they really do exist. Scientists now tell us there are many more dimensions than those we already know about. Maybe these dimensions are inhabited by beings that we call ghosties and ghoulies and these beings cross over into our world from time to time.

Actually Santa Claus originated with Oden the Norse god...

    To DrFrank124c Quote #282;  The importance of family, and inheritance is NOT exclusive to the Jewish culture. People all over the world since the beginning of time work hard, obtain wealth, and pass it on to their children.

That is the culture black america was stuck in...the Jews left and did their own thing...they hated most of the Egyptian ways. Some thought maybe worshipping other gods was cool, but were omitted from the promise for it...

Jewish people have a stigma about Christianity. Their understanding of the old testament prophecies basically stated there would be redemption through the Messiah for the Jewish people. They never realized they would be confronted by some idea of them having to give up their identity. If they all had to give up their identity to receive it, there wouldn't be any of them left. THis is the most basic proof that them being required to give it up is a lie.

 The irony is, many did anyway while fighting to keep it, simply to escape persecution. I believe you are Jewish by the right of your birth, even if you do end up accepting Yeshua Ha' Meshiach, but many people from many walks of life have an opinion and many Jews are afraid of being disowned by their own people. It is sad really.

What`s he mean by "picked through by the Egyptian men"? How insulting! I think that Jewish women are actually quite hot in looks and in their lovemaking.

While I'll seen many who are quite attractive, adorable, sensitive, funny, caring, etc, etc...I have found some to be not so attractive...perhaps God's way of helping me to pick the right mate ?
