The idea of rotating the holy land
- Thread starter Archbob
- Start date
Palestine was considered holy long before the oil was found nearby.
We should take an example from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. 6 Christian churches run it, but as they can't agree on anything the keys to the place are held by a Muslim family.
So have some Buddhist monks in charge of administration or something. Most Jews believe that they won't get the Temple Mount back until the coming of the Messiah, so the Muslims can hold on to it until then. The Jews can keep the Western Wall and the Christians the Holy Sepulcher and whatnot.
Interestingly, last semester I took a whole class on the history of Jerusalem.

Its very simple this entire concept of a holy land is man-made and complete and utter nonsense. They die in the name of their non-existent god and pointless religon. Theres no diffrence between the holy land and any other land except people like to countinously kill themselves in a explosive fashion. When will they learn that they are merely pawns of their leaders who exloit them in their desire for power? Humans are fools...

Interesting idea, but I dont think there are enough ballbearings in the world for that.
The Holy Land is actually revolving all the time . . . as the earth roates, and revolves around the sun, and the solar system revolves around the galaxy. Physically speaking nothing in the Holy Land is the exact same place it was a second ago and will never be in the exact place again.

Millions of years from now, the tectonic movement would transfrom the holy land into a large see between Africa and Asia, should we than call it "The Holy Sea" or "The Holy Ocean" or "The ex-Holy Land"?

Are you kidding? Put Karl Rove and James Carville over there, and it'll be spinning faster than a tornado - except that they won't be able to agree on which direction it will spin.

Good thinking, but we'd have to keep Bill 'No Spin Zone' O'Reilly out of the regionIglooDude said:Are you kidding? Put Karl Rove and James Carville over there, and it'll be spinning faster than a tornado - except that they won't be able to agree on which direction it will spin.

Maybe it is the holy land because many holes have been dug to get oil?

Should we than assume that the Gulf of Mexico is "The Holy Golf" and the North sea "The Holy Sea" ?

In all seriousness, I think it is possible for all 3 religions to agree on how to use the Holy Land as long as it is the moderates and not the extremists who dictate what happens.

Maybe it's Holy Land because there aren't any lakes or seas there?
