Since you believe in supernatural acts ..
Do you even mildly entertain the possibility that

Why would some deity help Israel and not Rome?
In answer to your questions, I don't know what all the Deity allows vs. assists. I have stated that I believe the Jewish people maintaining their identity in their dispersal all over the world for almost 2000 years and the re-establishment of the modern super power Israel to not be explainable except by supernatural intervention. Especially their victory in the 1948 war. Basically a few thousand stood off the Arab Moslem hordes. Now as to the literal bible the very first chapter is not to be taken literally. A 7 day creation that took place 5000 years ago is not close to accurate. But my answer to that would be to ask. What is a day to a creator at the center of our vast universe. So yes, I believe there is a "Deity". My question to you remains what do you believe? As I said, we know what you disbelieve. God bless.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Jesus: "Take heed that no man deceive you."
