PhilOssifer is an Internet handle used by one or more than one person who appears to be affiliated with the Lyndon Larouche movement. Phil decided to open a dialogue in response to a post I did about the Larouche movement:

Larouche's wild predictions: Not Obama, Not Clinton, Not McCain But Bloomberg IS (Was) The "Predetermined" Next President


The dialogue with PhilOssifer appears in the comments associated with that post. Notice how and why Phil decided to cut and run. I don't count myself an intellectual or Internet heavyweight. This blog is a self indulgence these days, I know. It had its day for a while when it was getting hundreds of daily reads, now it gets but a few each day. Back when I questioned the Holocaust and declared here that I wanted no part of any "right of return" to Israhell people looked me up. That was then.

In my last comment to Phil I say that I am trying not to be a Jew and that I want to assimilate into the human race (among other things.)

I admire Phil. He's dedicated to a cause, I'm sure he is self sacrificing and had to negate his own ego and subordinate himself to the Larouche movement. There is a good side to self negation, but if it's squandered it's something of a tragedy. Me. at my age, I doubt I am able to take any leaps of faith, to suspend disbelief and become a member of a faith. I admire really religious people, especially those whose religion isn't about getting rich, being prosperous or the Federal Reserve prime interst rate.

But I think evolution is real. I know the world is very much older than 6,000 years. I eat pork and shell fish. (The ethics of eating creatures troubles me. I probably should stop doing that.)

I believe in God but can't accept the Bible or other Holy books I know of as being Absolute Truth. I admire the teachings of Jesus but wonder if such a man really ever lived. That's my problem.

Some time later I'm going to write about the many different kinds of Jews there are, why I have been one and why I am trying not to be one any more.
