Podo Posted December 6, 2016 #52 Share Posted December 6, 2016 To me, this isn't a religious issue, this is a historical one. I'm no fan of religion, but pretty basic archaeological evidence shows that the Temple Mount holds relevance to Jews and Christians, as well as Muslims. It should be protected as history, for everyone to see and learn from, completely regardless to any individual's personal beliefs and such. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, man, poor analogy. The car wasn't created to be self-aware and to make its own decisions. If a Creator designed a product that would be aware in such a way, why would he then make it follow a pre-approved path? I don't claim to understand the Creator's motives but that much at least makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoofGardener Posted January 1, 2017 #58 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) I think the issue here is political rather than theological ? UNESCO chose to name the building in question using its Muslim name only. Their standard procedure is to name artifacts by the names given by ALL groups that have a clear cultural connection to it. This was not a typographical error. The document was carefully reviewed prior to publication, and the decision - as mentioned - contradicts standard UNESCO procedure. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that UNESCO was taking a deliberate and measured political stance; favouring the Muslim claim and denigrating/marginalising the Jewish claim. UNESCO should recall the fate of the UN Commission on Human Rights Edited January 1, 2017 by RoofGardener 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docyabut2 Posted January 2, 2017 #59 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Quote Its sad the whole world could go into chaos, and hell over two brothers quarrel of Jerusalem.

It just happens to be the most extreme example in our world today and it's fitting that the final war of humanity will spring from that same old blood feud. Those who refuse to understand or admit the truth of it, still will not escape its consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
