Excuses
Picture of Star of David on a graffiti in New York is courtesy of "gabe gross" who published it on Flickr . It also shows the American flag, the Christian cross and the Muslim crescent . The idea, as far as I understand it, is to unite the different religious symblos so that people will stop using them as an excuse to kill each other and find themselves some other excuse.
Yes, I think there are plenty of excuses to be found, not just religious. Consider Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your blog a lot, and intend to revisit.
I am a Christian (Reformed Baptist). I consider myself a big sympathiser with Jewish people.

Thanks for your comment. I followed your link, read your blog and liked it. About the Google phone I thought maybe you’ll be interested to know that I tried to promote this idea a few years ago

Great! Thanks for the feedback. I couldn't find your page about the Google phone by cutting & pasting your above URL. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place.
