Anything but.<br /><br /><i>Note another thing about the above passage...it says <b>there will be war with Amalek from generation to generation,</b>and gives the Jews the responsibility of fighting in that war to defeat evil wherever it rears its ugly head.</i><br /><br />The reason for that BTW, according to the Torah is because Saul did not obey G-d's command to destroy the Amalekites ( who were descended from Esau) and did not slay their king, Agag, before Agag was able to procreate. Haman was a direct descendant of Agag.<br /><br />Religious Jews are commended to remember Amalek because it is not simply a story of the past, just as they are also commended every Purim to hear the Megillah that contains the story of Esther read in full.Freedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-19464368010008246282010-02-28T12:55:55.338-08:002010-02-28T12:55:55.338-08:00Another Gentile heard from,

Thank you.<br /> However,<i>(you had to see that coming)</i> I would argue with your purely hypothetical treatment of Amalek.<br />It is my contention that not only is Amalek anything but hypothetical in today's world but moreover, the UN is in fact "thumping for a state" if not for Amalek then certainly for one of his clients. I'm sure you get my drift.<br />Anyway, like Louie says, watch the diet etc... stay well<br /> CAChristian Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261503066045033010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-80280470373237765532010-02-26T19:56:37.374-08:002010-02-26T19:56:37.374-08:00gentile in the thread
