Then the temple should be built in Atlantic City or Los Vegas.

That way the faithful can come to have their sins forgiven and have a good time while they are in town. :twisted:

The Beyt Ha'Mikdolsh can only be built on Mt. Zion (Har Tzion, the Temple Mount). But there are two Mosques there already. Nothing short of a divine display (such as a very localized earthquake and a Voice from Heaven) will change that.

If the Jews rebuild the temple again, they don't have to call it the wailing wall anymore. They can call it the joyful wall.

The muslims should tear down their mosques to call them on it. If their temple is restored and nothing happens that's pretty much that judaism as a religion is destroyed. Their magic building didn't bring about any gods saying "what's up?".

So I say the muslims should just see their bluff.

BTW, anyone know how close the red heifer project is?

Sorry I miss typed that. I meant that in Israel has the most Jewish population of anywhere in the world.

There are more Jews in the U.S. than in Israel.

Well it depends. There is a difference between practicing Jew and one of Jewish descent.

There is a quite a bit of controversy.

By Halachah (Jewish law) one is Jewish if one's mother is Jewish. One is Jewish by descent rather than practice. Which is rather unfortunate because Halacha fits in with Hitler's determination of who is Jewish.

Seriously...everyone knows religion is BS. Just tear down the mosques, let the temple be built and laugh when nothing happens. It'd be a HUGE boon to the muslims for a completely impotent end-of-all-days temple to be built. And it'd be a good laugh for me and Dawkins and the bunch.

The Beyt Ha'Mikdash isn't for saving anything. It is a place where Jews could bring sacrifices and offerings. Even if the Mosques are Mt. Zion collapsed tomorrow it would be very unlikely that the Beyt Ha'Mikdash would be rebuilt. Most Jews are not inclined to bring burnt offerings, grain and oil offerings or wine offerings to a central altar. That is a very primitive mode of worship. After 2000 years most Jews would prefer houses of prayer and meeting without all the smoke.

Smoke-free claims yet another venue.

Perhaps an earthquake that will wreck the Mosques will do the trick.

Maybe it isn't too far off...

Granted the title of the video is alarmist, the info is taken from a History Channel program. If the info within the video is wrong, go ahead and give a shout.

I agree. I am against all this "Wisdom of the Ancients" nonsense.

As if a bunch of stone age or bronze age primitives knew more about the universe than we do.

They levitated the stones of the pyramids and stone henge into place. Yeah,right!

The Mayans could predict that the world would end in 2012 but they weren't bright enough to invent the wheel.

Yeah, right.
